Allen Wrench
Allen Wrench is a potent psychoactive sativa that's best suited for experienced cannabis users, with a built-up cannabis tolerance and the ability to handle its cerebrally activating and thought-accelerating effects. Bred from the ever-potent sativa Trainwreck and landrace-derived NYC Diesel, Allen Wrench has been measured to contain as much as 28% THC.
This strain is said to enhance cognition and stimulate free-association, boost creativity, and inspire out-of-the-box thinking. It is popular among artists, writers, musicians, and other creative souls who enjoy finding new ways of seeing objects and analyze ideas. The high is usually energizing, is punctuated by increased alertness and typically lasts for a few hours. It is great a great strain for daytime use and many enjoy a morning smoke to jump start their day. For such users, Allen Wrench can easily take the place of a morning cup of coffee. This cerebral activation could have a downside if used at night by disrupting a natural sleep cycle. The psychoactive effects could also bring on the jitters and cause anxiety or paranoia, especially with novice users. Overdosing on Allen Wrench could, at worst, lead to a sense of inescapable rumination and recursive introspection for a couple of very uncomfortable hours. For others, however, such as ADHD sufferers, the strain can be a wonderful source of prolonged focus and concentration.
Allen Wrench has nugget-like buds that tend to be medium to large in size, elongated and resembling the classic sativa structure. Individual plant phenotypes may produce variations in shape and color, but all are covered by an abundance of trichomes that produce a sticky, resinous texture. In fact, Allen Wrench is known for being notoriously difficult to break apart without the use of a grinder. But when broken up, especially if the plant has been properly cured, it fills a room with an overpowering diesel aroma which it inherits from its parent. The scent is mixed with a citrus-like sweetness and when the flower is combusted, its smoke is said to taste amazingly smooth and carry flavors earth and lemon flavor.
The origin of Allen Wrench is not credited to any individual breeder and as such, finding original seeds may prove challenging. Those looking to grow Allen Wrench may need to obtain mature plant clippings to cultivate genetically identical clones. The versatile strain grows to impressive heights and can be planted indoors or out. As it is characteristic of sativas to require a longer flowering period, Allen Wrench is expected to take 10 to 11 weeks to finish blooming.
