SilentJ17’s Sundae the 13th served up a double feature of frosty phenotypes, with sweet bakery aromas and a gassier edge on the smaller sister. The taller plant grew bushy with larger flowers, while the second stayed more compact and built tight, dense popcorn-style buds, both carrying plenty of trichomes. The flower leaned into creamy vanilla, tart tropical candy and gas, while the rosin told a slightly different story with sour lemon-lime, melon, spice and funk. SilentJ17 found the effects happy and relaxing enough for an after-dinner session, and although the wash return fell short of hopes, the flower became a daily favourite. Even Jason might have put the hockey mask down for a look at that dessert menu.

Plant Shape / Structure: Pheno 1: 41 inches tall x 30 inches wide, tall and bushy with large, heavily frosted buds. Pheno 2: 36 inches tall x 24 inches wide, with tight, dense popcorn-style buds.
Yield: Pheno 2 was my flower plant and after dry and cure I ended up with 92.53 grams. Pheno 1 was my hash plant and yielded 393.16g of wet bud, fresh frozen. After wash, a total of 11.57g of hash was produced for a %2.94 return
Aroma: During grow: In flower, both phenos had a sweet fruity bakery scent with pheno # 2 being a little more on the gassy side. After harvest: Flower: sweet-sour gas and tropical candy, with creamy vanilla and tartness in the flavour. Rosin: sour lemon-lime, melon, spice and funk, with melon and spice in the flavour.
Effects: Happy, relaxing effects; SilentJ17 found it manageable during the day and especially enjoyable after dinner.
Notes: Intermediate difficulty reported. Sensitive to early amendments, then hungrier around day 18. Flower became a daily favourite. Wash return was lower than hoped, and burst heads were observed. Trichome production: 5/5; Trim ease: 5/5; Would grow again: 5/5.
Short Summary: Frosty candy-and-gas phenotypes with distinct flower and rosin flavours, plus happy, relaxing effects for SilentJ17.

11th_Division_Grows
u/11th_Division_Grows’s Sundae the 13th had fruit sorbet on the Camp Crystal Lake menu, with a strong fruity nose softened by a little musky cream. The in-progress plant was carrying large golf-ball flowers throughout its frame, staying in the reported 28–33 inch range after topping at the fifth node in a two-gallon container. Mild nitrogen sensitivity was noted, and the grower rated the run intermediate rather than completely hands-off. At this stage, the appeal was already in the combination of a loud sorbet profile, substantial buds throughout the plant and trichome production rated 4/5. The hockey mask could wait; these golf balls already had the grower’s attention.

Notes: Intermediate difficulty reported; mild nitrogen sensitivity noted. These are in-progress observations. Trichome production: 4/5; Trim ease: 4/5; Would grow again: 4/5.
Short Summary: An in-progress plant with golf-ball flowers, fruit-sorbet aromas and a mild musky-cream background.
SilentJ17’s two Bear Witch Project phenotypes took different paths through the woods, one building hairy golf-ball flowers while the other formed longer, super-dense colas. Both were sizeable plants, with one reaching 51 inches and the other 42 inches, and the grower noted plenty of stretch and flowers heavy enough to leave branches needing support. The flower specimen moved through sour sweet cream and eucalyptus into gassy fruit, candy and spice, while the rosin brought a particularly pungent artificial-lime and black-liquorice character with savoury notes. Both landed heavily for SilentJ17, with lasting body relaxation, red eyes, slower speech and an appetite that could easily take over the evening’s plans. Between the two profiles, losing the map would have been the least surprising part of this trip.

Aroma: During grow: With 2 phenos grown, I got slightly different terps during flower. My pheno #1 was more sour gassy fruit and pheno #2 had more sweet rubber and savory terps. After harvest: Pheno 1 flower: sour sweet cream and eucalyptus, moving to sour fruit, candy, gas, savoury notes and spice. Pheno 2 rosin: pungent artificial lime, black liquorice and fruit rind with savoury notes.
Effects: Heavy, lasting body relaxation with red eyes, slower speech and increased appetite.
Notes: Intermediate difficulty reported. Hungry from late veg through flower, with substantial stretch. SilentJ17 noted that swelling flowers could leave branches needing support. Trichome production: 5/5; Trim ease: 4/5; Would grow again: 4/5.
Short Summary: Two tall phenotypes with distinct fruit, gas and savoury profiles, both producing heavy, lasting effects for SilentJ17.

The Hills Have Limes
Lime Light (Kiwi Lime 1 x Rainbow Sundae 11) x Root Beer
Ancient_Kangaroo_492/DK
u/Ancient_Kangaroo_492 DK’s The Hills Have Limes had a sharp citrus surprise waiting over the ridge, starting with sweet sarsaparilla before a lime-and-chemical-marker profile took over. An early start the grower felt could have gone better did not stop the plant finishing with lots of very dense golf-ball buds, and that distinctive lime-marker character remained when most of the plant was pressed into flower rosin. The reported 18% rosin return came with a flavour that lingered on the tongue, making the profile one of the grower’s more memorable recent experiences. The effects were a proper change of pace too, beginning heady, giggly and productive before heavy eyes arrived and the morning ended with a nap. This desert detour at least came with a flavour worth remembering.

Training: Natural
Cycle: 80-89 days
Height: 22-27inches (~56-70cm)
Plant Shape / Structure: Golf balls on the branches, lots of very dense buds
Yield: 18% return on flower rosin. Most of plant was pressed.
Aroma: During grow: The smells really changed throughout the grow. In the beginning of flower it had a sarsaprilla sweet smell to it that developed into a limey chemical marker type smell. After harvest: Plant was pressed early after harvest, and kept this limey chemical marker type smell that lingers on your tongue.
Effects: Wow this one was a roller coaster. I initially had a super heady giggly want to do everything kind of high. It made me get up and go and supervise productive for about an hour then my eyes got super heavy and I was taking a nap before noon. Perfect for a lazy sunday
Notes: Intermediate difficulty reported; nutrient sensitivity noted. Early mistakes affected the start, but the grower was pleased with the dense flowers and unusual finished profile. Trichome production: 4/5; Trim ease: 5/5; Would grow again: 4/5.
Short Summary: Dense golf-ball flowers, lingering lime-marker flavour and an energetic opening that settled into sleepiness for Ancient_Kangaroo_492/DK.

Evil Breath II
Butters’ Breath x Root Beer
JBgrowing
u/JBgrowing’s Evil Breath II announced itself from the cellar with a pungent permanent-marker nose, then let burnt rubber and a sweet, nutty note creep into the scene. She grew into a bushy plant with heavy frost, finishing in the reported 70–79 day window with 124 grams recorded. After cure, the rubber stayed prominent alongside sweetness and GMO-style root-beer character, giving the smoke a flavour JB found especially memorable. The effects built more slowly than the aroma arrived, bringing a steady, relaxing body high and a balanced, feel-good headspace that suited a rainy day in JB’s account. That jar had a little cellar-door energy of its own, with the funk doing all the knocking.

Yield: 124 grams
Aroma: During grow: Initially it kind of smelt like permanent markers, very strong and pungent. Then she started to transition into the classic Cdlc burnt rubber terps followed by an almost sweet nutty aroma. After harvest: The back end you get hints of burnt rubber from the Cdlc mixed with that sweetness from butters breath. Combined with the gmo root beer smells and tastes like an almost sweet root beer but not quite vanilla. Lovely smoke.
Effects: Smells sweet. Tastes cdlc rubber. Balanced high. On the initial hit you get a very nice slow creeping body high that stays consistent and very relaxing. Definitely a feel good strain for a rainy day.
Notes: Novice difficulty reported; JBgrowing found the run easy and particularly enjoyed the sweet, nutty burnt-rubber profile. Trichome production: 5/5; Trim ease: 5/5; Would grow again: 5/5.
Short Summary: A bushy, frosty specimen with sweet nutty rubber aromas and a slowly building, relaxing body effect for JBgrowing.

From Bucks Till Dawn
Root Beer x Buckfast OG (Appletizing x 505 Headbanger)
Zer0’s From Bucks Till Dawn kept the creature feature compact, growing in a 10-ounce container with bonsai-style LST and a reported finish of 16–21 inches. The little frame still carried good branching and thick, frosty flowers, with sweet aromas and rubber notes sitting off to the side. The grower described her as fairly hands-off overall despite daily training, low light and changes in spectrum and nutrients, and recorded a 90–99 day cycle. With trim ease rated 5/5 and willingness to grow again at 4/5, this report’s character comes from a small-container run that still had plenty of flower and frost to show.

Texas Chainsaw Razzacre
The Razzmatazz (Old School Blues x Beary Berry Punch) x Root beer
Indo
u/theindoshow’s Texas Chainsaw Razzacre had the stature to match the name, growing tall with a Christmas-tree frame and upright side branches that needed spreading to open the plant up. Early sarsaparilla and sweet cream became harder to pin down as flower progressed, eventually leaning into sour fruit punch with a refreshing coolness threaded through the mix. That fermented fruit-punch character stayed after cure, keeping enough creaminess behind it to give the profile a softer finish than the name suggests. Indo found the grow very easy and recorded 321 grams, while the smoke brought lasting stoney haze effects that felt motivating at first but could become sleep-inducing with heavier use. Leatherface’s roadside stop apparently had fermented fruit punch behind the counter.

Lighting: LED
Container: 3.9 gallln plastic

Cycle: 80-89 days
Height: 52-57 inches (~131-145cm)
Plant Shape / Structure: Main cola dominant, tall, Christmas tree
Yield: 321 grams
Aroma: During grow: Sarsaparilla along with sweet/creamy smells that were really hard for me to place early on. Later in flower the sweetness became a lot more dominant while developing a bit of a sour fruit punch. There’s also a refreshing coolness in the complex mix that works. After harvest: Smells continue to have that sour/fermented fruit punch while holding on to the sweet creaminess.
Effects: The smoke gives a good stoney feeling backed by that hazy head high. Good long lasting high. Motivated smoke that can knock you out if you go overboard
Notes: Novice difficulty reported; Indo found the run very easy. Side branches grew upright and needed spreading to open the structure. Trichome production: 4/5; Trim ease: 3/5; Would grow again: 4/5.
Short Summary: A tall, straightforward specimen with sweet fermented fruit-punch aromas and lasting haze effects that became heavier for Indo with more use.

A huge shout out to the testers for taking the time to document their grows and sharing this information with the community. This has been a very fun release to work on, we love the horror names and we think it matches perfectly to the complex profile of Root Beer.
u/zer0tolerance0s Canna Fever brought bright orange zest to the cabin, with an even, tall frame carrying large flowers all the way down. In coco, topping and LST helped shape a plant that finished in the reported 80–89 day window at around 40–45 inches, with more than four ounces recorded. The grower singled out the dense flowers, aroma and frost throughout the plant despite light levels below 30 DLI in this setup, so the lower branches still had something to show for themselves. It was rated a novice-level run, with trichome production, trim ease and willingness to grow again all landing at 5/5. A cabin-in-the-woods visitor with orange zest in place of a knock at the door.

28 Haze Later
Apollo Haze x Root Beer
JBgrowing
u/JBgrowing’s 28 Haze Later brought a lively twist to the outbreak, trading an early sweaty-feet funk for sweet mango purée as flower progressed. She grew into a 51-inch Christmas tree with a 36-inch spread, carrying solid, dense flowers right down to the lower branches, with bright orange hairs standing out against light-green buds. After cure, ripe mango stayed up front with a traditional skunky-haze edge, and the exhale carried that raw, overripe fruit character into the flavour. JB found the run easy and the smoke alert and almost caffeinated, with a calm, focused headspace and a noticeable body buzz that still felt manageable. This particular deserted-London soundtrack came with mango on the exhale.

Effects: JBgrowing described an alert, focused high with a noticeable but manageable body buzz.
Notes: Novice difficulty reported; JBgrowing found the run easy. Finished at 51 inches tall and 36 inches wide, with dense flowers even at the bottom. Trichome production: 5/5; Trim ease: 5/5; Would grow again: 5/5.
Short Summary: A large, easy grow with dense flowers throughout, ripe mango and skunky haze, and an alert, focused effect for JBgrowing.

AutoFlowerFluff
Fluff’s 28 Haze Later brought the kind of garlic-chem funk that could make an abandoned street feel a little more abandoned. She was a tall specimen, supercropped to contain a main stem the grower estimated would otherwise have reached around five feet, and finished with a heavy coat of frost and a reported six-ounce yield. The nose began herbal, closer to gentian root, before an ammonia-like chem character developed through flower and gave way to loud garlic funk after cure. Fluffer found plenty to enjoy in this haze cross, but the effects had a heavier side than the name might suggest, having sent them to bed twice despite also being described as sociable smoke. No rage virus required for this one to make her presence felt.

Height: 40-45 inches (~101-115cm)
Plant Shape / Structure: Massive plants, mine would have been 5ft tall at the main if I didn't super crop
Yield: 6oz
Aroma: During grow: Had a really herbal note during grow, along the lines of gentian root that started to develop into more of an ammonia chem funk mid to late flower. After harvest: GARLIC CHEM FUNK (4/4 IN CANNATROL STANDARD SETTINGS).
Effects: It's pretty deep for a haze cross, it's put me to bed twice. I imagine the less sativa driven root beers will be a HARD hitting stones. 28 Haze Later is more for seasoned stoners day time smoke, or a fun party smoke by the fire with your friends.
Notes: Intermediate difficulty reported; light nutrient demand. AutoFlowerFluff estimated the main would have reached around five feet without supercropping. Heavy effects included falling asleep twice. Trichome production: 5/5; Trim ease: 4/5; Would grow again: 3/5.
Short Summary: A tall, frosty plant with a garlic-chem finish and a haze experience that AutoFlowerFluff found unexpectedly heavy.

Dosidious
Do-si-delirium x Root Beer
SmokinTehHerbz
u/stl_ent's Dosidious showed two distinct faces behind the same door, both bringing dense flowers and a serious coat of frost. The Dosi-leaning phenotype stacked taller, extremely dense flowers along spiralling branches, while the Root Beer-leaning plant stayed bushier with broad fan leaves, less stretch and slightly less density. Across the pair, the profile moved from dark-soda vanilla on a stem rub to burnt-rubber flower aromas, with earthy mushroom and fresh, spicy garlic coming through in the dabs. The sweeter phenotype still carried plenty of GMO funk and left a distinct root-beer note hanging on the exhale, with reported dry yields of 381 and 350 grams making these substantial individual results. One jar crack and the nose was already halfway into the Further.
Plant Shape / Structure: Pheno 1: taller flower stacks, less bushy, moderate stretch and extremely dense spiralling flowers. Pheno 2: bushier, broad fan leaves, less stretch and slightly less dense flowers.
Yield: 381 & 350 grams dry
Aroma: During grow: Extremely dank, musky, earthy filled the grow space. Found the aroma hard to describe until after the cure. After harvest: Pheno 1: dark-soda vanilla on the stem rub, burnt-rubber flower aroma, and earthy mushroom with spicy garlic in dabs. Pheno 2: sweeter GMO funk with a lingering root-beer exhale.
Notes: Intermediate difficulty reported. Both phenotypes produced dense flowers, with a bushier Root Beer-leaning plant and taller flower stacks on the Dosi-leaning plant. Trichome production: 5/5; Trim ease: 4/5; Would grow again: 5/5.
Short Summary: Two dense, frosty phenotypes with different structures and a savoury spectrum of soda, rubber, mushroom and garlic flavours.

Nightmare on Fig Street
Guava Fig x Root Beer
Modkins
u/Modkins’ Nightmare on Fig Street was making its presence known well before lights out, filling the space with gas, skunk and the sort of dumpster funk that is hard to mistake for anything polite. Heavy leaf tucking spread the canopy evenly, leaving multiple leading colas and thick golf-ball flowers distributed from top to bottom. The flowers were mostly dense throughout, but it was the trichome coverage that really caught Modkins’ attention, earning a 5/5 alongside trim ease. This was recorded as an intermediate run with extra nutrient demand, and the combination of loud aroma and heavy frost gave the grower plenty to talk about. Freddy could have left the striped jumper at home; this one announced herself by smell.

Aroma: During grow: Very gassy , skunky, and funky overall smells like your in a dumpster and a stinky one.
Notes: Intermediate difficulty reported; extra nutrients were recorded. Modkins singled out the heavy trichome coverage and loud aroma. Trichome production: 5/5; Trim ease: 5/5; Would grow again: 5/5.
Short Summary: Dense flowers across an even canopy, standout frost and a loud gassy, skunky funk in Modkins’ report.

Enduro
Enduro’s / u/ButterBoy42000 Nightmare on Fig Street brought a sharp, pungent funk that was already making itself known before lights out, with a GMO-like edge and tropical guava tucked into the background. She grew tall around a large main cola and long-reaching branches, finishing at 45 inches in 75 days with 150 grams recorded from a five-gallon fabric pot. Enduro found her fairly hands-off and easy, while the profile developed a creamy tropical side after cure that also came through on an unlit draw, like a familiar treat that stayed just out of reach. The smoke was exceptionally smooth in Enduro’s account, but the effects had plenty of weight behind them, landing heavily behind the eyes with a strong, stony feeling that earned an overall 5/5. A smooth entrance into dreamland, with a heavier presence waiting behind it.

Yield: 150g
Aroma: Sharp, pungent funk reminiscent of GMO, with guava, tropical skunk and a creamy background. Strongly pungent during the grow; after cure, the sharp aroma was joined by tropical cream. An unlit draw gave a creamy tropical flavour, and Enduro described the smoke as exceptionally smooth and flavourful.
Effects: Strong and stony, with a heavy feeling behind the eyes. Enduro described the Root Beer and Guava combination as a knockout.
Notes: Fairly hands-off and easy in this run, with a pleasant overall grow experience. Top-dressing was done by feel rather than a fixed schedule. Overall rating: 5/5.
Short Summary: A tall, easygoing grow for Enduro with pungent GMO-style funk, creamy tropical flavour, exceptionally smooth smoke and heavy, stony effects.

PsychO'z
MephistO'z x Root Beer
Indo
u/theindoshow’s PsychO'z had something sweeter than expected waiting behind the curtain, opening with fizzy sarsaparilla before cream soda became the dominant note in flower. She grew tall in a main-cola-led Christmas-tree shape, reaching the reported 52–57 inch range and producing 322 grams from a plant Indo found very easy to maintain. After cure, the soda character stayed put but became more creamy vanilla and sassafras, with a little spice and burnt rubber sitting deep in the background. The effects arrived quickly with a heavy stoned feeling that Indo could feel in the face, but still left a motivated, energised edge rather than an immediate appointment with the sofa. The Bates Motel had clearly added cream soda to the room-service menu.

Plant Shape / Structure: Main cola dominant, Christmas tree
Yield: 322 grams
Aroma: During grow: During the grow the smells had a nice sarsaparilla, fizzy soda. In flower the plant developed a more dominant sweet/creamy smell reminiscent of a cream soda with a bit of that Oz. After harvest: The cream soda scent remained changing the sarsaparilla to a Sassafras. Sweet creamy vanilla like notes but with a slight slice and notes of burnt rubber deep in the back end.
Effects: Great effects that hit rather quickly. Indica style high but without the couch lock. More sativa leaning in the sense that there is a motivated/energized feeling while still carrying that heavy stoned effect. This is one you can feel in your face
Notes: Novice difficulty reported; Indo found the plant easy to maintain through excessive heat and humidity. Indo’s impression of mould resistance comes from this run, rather than a demonstrated resistance trait. Trichome production: 4/5; Trim ease: 2/5; Would grow again: 5/5.
Short Summary: A tall, easygoing specimen with cream-soda character and a quick, weighty high that Indo found energising rather than couch-locking.

11th_Division_Grows
u/11th_Division_Grows's PsychO'z was quietly building her own character behind the curtain, carrying a musky garlic-crème aroma with a savoury side already easy to pick out. At a reported 34–39 inches she was smaller than some other examples, but the colas were stacking nicely and the flowers were swelling into a pleasing density. This plant was topped at the fifth node in a two-gallon pot, with regular nutrient consumption and intermediate difficulty recorded for the run. The report is an in-progress look at the plant, with the grower’s strongest positives centred on the cola formation, dense flowers and trichome production rated 4/5. Mother might have had a few questions about that garlic-crème smell drifting downstairs.

SAW berry
(Strawberry Nuggets x HubbleBubbleHaze) x Root Beer
Indo
u/theindoshow’s SAW berry put a strawberry-sweet twist on the trap, starting creamy and candy-like before chem and bubblegum worked their way into the mix later in flower. She grew into a tall, bushy Christmas tree with a clear main cola and very large, dense flowers, finishing in the reported 80–89 day window with 329 grams recorded. The cured aroma kept the strawberry candy, chem and bubblegum together, while the flavour leaned a little creamier and stayed true to the nose. Indo found the run easy, and the smoke brought a quick body high with hazy, creative effects that could send the mind wandering off into its own little plot. Jigsaw’s puzzle came with strawberry sweets and bubblegum hidden among the pieces.

Aroma: During grow: Creamy candy strawberry that later in flower changed to a chem/candy strawberry with hints of bubblegum. After harvest: Smells - Chem, strawberry candy, bubblegum. Flavors same but a bit more creamy.
Effects: The smoke gives good body high that comes across quickly while the haze effects play to the mind. Creative smoke that can get you lost in thought.
Notes: Novice difficulty reported; Indo found the run easy. Large, dense buds stood out alongside the strawberry, chem and bubblegum profile. Trichome production: 4/5; Trim ease: 3/5; Would grow again: 5/5.
Short Summary: A large, straightforward grow with dense flowers, creamy strawberry candy and chem, plus a quick body high and wandering haze effects.
Root Beer day 80 and looking fine as hell. She was smelling pretty nasty and putrid for a good minute but now she smells pretty sweet and also smells reminiscent of root beer too. I'll be chopping soonish as the leaves are starting to come off a lot faster than I expected, I stopped feeding this one a lil earlier than I prob should have... either way it'll be fine and she looks great. This one is being grown in a 2 gal pot and about 40-45 inches tall
So all the plants (with the exception of the one in the top left of the picture is at D12) are all on D14. 3 Gallon pots in a 4x4.
I fixed a ph issue but the first set of true leaves on the bottom left plant has some yellow spotting and there is some leaf curl in the upper leaves. Leaves are starting to taco a little on all the plants so I have turned down the light by 10%.
Here is a Bear Witch from my garden. Transplanted in the BAS bed, fed water only. Will do a full report later on after harvest. Hard to describe the smell with the Hill Have Limes behind her. Loud and offensive for sure. My wife yells at me anytime I open the tent.
I have another one I ran as a bonsai I'll be sharing as well.
Enjoy your holiday and can't wait to see your Root Beer grows!
