Root Beer Float
Also known as: Root Bear Float
Overview
Root Beer Float is a rare indica-dominant hybrid strain (75% indica/25% sativa) developed by Cannarado Genetics and introduced to the market in 2018. The strain was created through crossing the classic XXX OG and Vanilla Kush strains, resulting in a unique cannabis variety that truly lives up to its dessert-inspired name. The strain quickly gained popularity following its launch, with a documented 40% increase in consumer inquiries during the first quarter and has maintained its cult status in both recreational and therapeutic markets. Root Beer Float displays an attractive visual appearance with fluffy rounded forest green nugs featuring rich amber hairs and a thick coating of frosty white trichomes throughout. The strain's complex terpene profile, identified through gas chromatography-mass spectrometry testing, includes key compounds such as myrcene, caryophyllene, and limonene that create its distinctive bouquet. The flavor profile truly captures the essence of its name, offering a classic taste exactly like the popular sweet treat with a light herbal touch, while the aroma is very earthy with lemony pine overtones accented by a notable hint of pungent root beer.

Root Beer Float can be cultivated both indoors and outdoors, though it was never available as feminized seeds from Cannarado Genetics. The strain has a flowering time of 60-65 days, with outdoor crops ready in October. Indoor growers can expect yields of 18-21 oz/m², while outdoor plants yield 25-28 oz per plant. Growers report high success rates when using indoor cultivation systems with controlled temperature and humidity levels maintained between 65-75°F and 40-50% humidity respectively. Real-world case studies indicate that plants grown under optimal regimes can yield up to 500-600 grams per square meter when managed by experienced cultivators. The plant grows short and bushy with leaves that appear indica-dominant, responding well to topping techniques. The strain shows notable resistance to pests both indoors and outdoors.
