Rootbeer BX1
Also known as: Root Beer BX1, Rootbeer Backcross 1
Rootbeer BX1 Strain Overview
Rootbeer BX1 is a distinguished cannabis hybrid bred by Freeborn Selections under the masterful guidance of Mean Gene from Mendocino, a legendary breeder with over 20 years of experience in cannabis cultivation. This strain represents a backcross of the original Rootbeer clone, crossed with the Rootbeer x Jaro outcross and then bred back to the original Rootbeer clone to create what is known as BX1 (Backcross 1). The complex genetic lineage traces back to Headband (likely) crossed with Hollywood Pure Kush x (Hindu x Black Affie), resulting in a sophisticated hybrid that captures the nostalgic essence of its root beer namesake.
The development of Rootbeer BX1 involved extensive selective breeding and stabilization processes, with historical records indicating over 15 rounds of selection before final stabilization to ensure consistency. The strain is known for its distinctive sassafras-like terpene profile that genuinely evokes the classic American beverage, combined with earthy, vanilla, and spicy undertones. Mean Gene's breeding philosophy focuses on preserving old-school genetics while incorporating modern terpene complexity, resulting in plants that perform exceptionally well in outdoor conditions while maintaining unique aromatic profiles.
Rootbeer BX1 produces dense, resinous buds with exceptional trichome coverage that can exceed 500,000 trichomes per square inch under optimal conditions. The strain has gained recognition in cannabis competitions and is highly sought after by connoisseurs for its balanced effects and distinctive flavor profile that sets it apart from typical fruity or diesel-dominant strains in today's market.
