Origin
Caboose is Salmon Creek Big Bud crossed with Trainwreck. Salmon Creek Big Bud, itself a Big Bud descendant, supplies the yield and the dense structure; Trainwreck supplies the sharp, disorienting edge. It has no descendants on file. The Big Bud lineage is why it produces so much flower; it is also the practical reason to grow it.

About
Caboose buckles you into your seat and keeps you there.
It crosses Salmon Creek Big Bud with Trainwreck for a 90 percent indica. The flavor is unusual: nearly metallic, with a chemical edge on the nose. The high opens with a burst of energy and then flattens, taking an afternoon with it.
It ends the day early.
What to Expect
Caboose starts energetic and does not stay that way. The reviewer sample is small, but the accounts line up: a brief lift, then a heavy indica sit-down that runs medium to long. A few reviewers report a trippy quality at the peak.
Dry eyes are the physical note that stands out, well ahead of the rest, with a scared feeling and hunger the two non-physical ones. Start low if a racing head is a problem for you. This is not a strain to schedule anything around.
Flavor and Aroma
Caboose is a sweet, flowery smell carrying a distinct chemical note. The flavor is earthy and limey with a skunky, almost metallic edge and a tobacco finish. It is a genuinely odd profile, not a pleasant-fruit one.
Terpenes Explained
Caboose has no terpene test in our data, with only Terpinolene and Caryophyllene named.
That metallic, chemical character sits in lighter compounds a standard panel does not report. A Caboose jar with that sharp, almost mineral smell is true to type, even if it is not for everyone.
Cannabinoids and Potency
Caboose THC is reported around 18 percent, which most sources treat as moderate, though the effect is described as much heavier than that. CBD can reach just over one percent. There is no clean lab sample in our data.
Caboose plays well above its 18 percent, so treat it as a strong indica and keep the afternoon clear.
