What is the aroma like at this point, and how loud would you say it is?How many feet away can you smell it?

It's really not that fragrant yet which I must admit I find a tad alarming but it's just now starting to throw pistils so I'm hoping that it will stink up soon. There are a few other plants (not pictured) that also don't have much aroma so I'm going to reserve judgement on all of them for the time being. I'm not the grower, I just provided the seeds

It's a beautiful plant though, nice structure and vigor. Everything about it looks great and it should be a big yielder.

I'll update the progress in month or so.

Here are some Rootbeer genetics, (untested), for those interested! https://www.regenerativeseeds.com/shop/dutch-blooms/rootbeer-freezeblue-bull-ii-x-sodo/

Fk root beer already. Gene should've cashed in on that while he had the chance. Im not really sure I want my weed to smell like root beer anyway. Why did he post memes about his mysterious root beer strain every day as if it was leading up to anything? He talked about it in a podcast saying of he basically teases everyone he has a lot more leverage with the strain in terms of making money in auctions. Nothing against Gene I think he's funny as fk and a great breeder I love his Lime line but I think he took the RB thing to a level where it just wasn't funny or understood. It's basically like dangling chicken in front of a dog making him roll over then you don't give the dog the chicken. lol

Have you grown these or experienced them?

The rootbeer is really good though, definitely very potent and has that sassafras taste. I don’t blame him for not letting it out, although if he did I’d buy some seeds :)

The links I posted are rootbeer crosses that contain genetics that came from Mean Gene.

so it's been a month or so since i cut the lime 1 jaro, the best of those plants was a random branch off a ugly small plant i cut at day 52, it totally had that rootbeer tip, very perfeumey and OG gas type, weiiirddd wintergreen freshness, but not really wintergreen taste, super amazing flavor, weird in a good way, but at day 70 it was way more muted and has a weird a1 sauce/steak/bbq thing going on instead, the other plants, nothing too special there for me

thats the only plant i think i'm going to keep, i don't like any of the other ones enough to keep. so i'm keeping the lime 1 jaro #1 that herms and taste great at day 52, i think i'm going to throw that one in the flower room later than my other plants, so it's harvested ay day 52 even if it's day 70 for the other ones

this fucking branch, so good

So I've been running the GMO RB cut from Skunktek indoors under LEDs for a couple rounds now and even with crazy high temps and low humidity I've had no herm issues with the cut. I personally love it. I think it brings a subtle caramel sweetness to the GMO. Similar structure. Nice stone, very similar to GMO. Not definitively rootbeer but not NOT rootbeer if that makes any sense haha. Skunktek says you get more Rootbeer terps outdoors so I have a gal out in the garden now as well, but results are still pending a few more months of sunshine.

Zero bananas outdoor and had multiple light leaks from my neighbors flood lights, fizzy creamy anise terps, with an oily pungency in the exhale that definitely comes from the GMO, more than satisfied, grown in living soil in a 25 gallon with minimal amendments, also pot was inoculated with bokashi and earthworms as natural pgr's

I'm all for that brother. I am here to share my experiences with people, but at the same time won't tolerate personal attacks on me, that being said water under the bridge on my behalf. Oh on a brighter note here's some Piff Coast Farms Sour Diesel that was about to finish before I left to Europe for the summer. She had a bouquet of pink grapefruit, oily diesel fuel, and a kush like pungency that was mouthwatering.

That kinda sucks there wasn't more there. I gave some to my buddy to grow outdoor I don't know if you saw it on the previous page.

Some of you may be interested in this drop, happy Saturday :weed:
Same mother as Rootbeer Freeze:
Coco Cola x Jaro was just released by Mean Gene on speakeasy (VIP now and 24th for public shop), here is what he had to say about it:
Coco Cola is a plant I found in the Rootbeer BC2. She was more frosty looking and more chunky than the Rootbeer mom and reminded me of coke and yoohoo or something so I called her CocoCola. She finishes outside here around October 5th to 10th.
Very tasty weed with a good potent uplifting high like the Rootbeer mom. She grows very fast and roots easily, and has awesome overall vigor.
I used a male from my Jaro that came out of an F3 I made, he was big and sturdy with heavy flowering and a little faster than his other brothers. Some very potent plants come out of this cross and none are weak smoke.
All of the plants smell like what I consider to be the best of the Jaro and Rootbeer family. Sweet cola soda or cola gummies, a little chocolate, berries, anise, with kushy funk underneath rounding out the smells.
Big yielding and fast growing with occasional purple plants but mostly green. Buds look like a mix of SourDiesel, Chem and Hindu with a little Black Afi influence. She only does around 3.5% hash on fresh frozen but the heavy flower yields could make her still have a good *gram per square foot* number for hash yields.
One of my favorites to grow and, although I haven’t grown them side by side, it basically has the same description as my Rootbeer Freeze which also has the same CocoCola mother.
All of the plants are very high quality in all of the categories that I’m concerned about and I’d fill gardens with this one from seed for sure but some will stand out to people based on their personal preferences. Performed great in both indoor and light dep grows and will also do great outside.

Freeborn post #419, who's going to be #420? :leaf:
Here is another brand new drop, PureKush x SkyCuddlerDoubleKush; wish i could afford both I stuck with the Coco Cola x Jaro, but this looks awesome too: Mean Gene's breakdown:
The PureKush clone I breed with is a plant I got back around 05, it came from a guy a block back off of the Sunset Strip.
He got it from some guys in Tujunga who were growing it at the time. It was being sold for 160 an eighth at the store back then because the few people who had it were growing it very well and it’s really awesome potent weed with big flavor and funk. It smells to me like OG, baby powder, weird citrus almost like lime but artificial fruit loops lime and some deep gross musky funk. When it’s not grown almost perfectly it’s more of an OG smell and could trick you into thinking it’s just some pretty cool weed.
Around that time I had the Hindu clone that I work with and I bred it with two pure afghans, one called Big Red and one called Black Afi. I bred the Hindu x BigRed and the Hindu x Black Afi with the PK clones. I also bred the Black Afi male with the PurpleUrkel clone around that time and then bred that cross with the PK. I took the PKxUrkelxBlackAfi and bred it with SourDiesel.
I used a male of that Sour cross and put it back on the PK and I called that KD on my plant tags for KushDiesel. I took the PKxHinduxBigRed and bred it with a Skywalker OG clone I had, then bred that with the PK clone again, and called that SkyCuddlerKush.
I crossed the KD with the SkyCuddlerKush and that is what makes SkyCuddlerDoubleKush. When I grew out the SCDK there was a type that popped out that was PK leaning but yielded great and has the WD40/Sweet Gasoline/ Marshmallow/Peach Green Tea/Soap smell that I really liked.
I selected toward that type for a couple generations and certain lines had a lot of that type and one that I call the ’24’ did well so I used a male from it on a bunch of stuff including the PK and also made several F4 lines.
The PK x SCDK24 is mostly marshmallow sweet soapy kush with nice substantial buds and it’s pretty consistent. It’s less finicky than the PK mom. A small percentage(<5%) are weak little weird* OG throwbacks but they’re obvious from the start and easy to cull if you only want the vigorous ones.
Nice potent smoke and has done great indoors, in dep and outside. Easy stock to pull a nice male from for breeding. Some plants in these are extra special but almost all of them are killer.
*The PK I hold is qPCR tested clean and free of HpLVD by TumiGenomics
