End Game R2 makes heavy harvests look easy. Ethos Genetics built it from two of its own keepers, End Game #3 and End Game #5, which come from Cherry Punch x Ethos Cookies #16 and Ethos Cookies #4 x Mandarin Sunset. The result is a feminized photoperiod with large, chunky, pungent flowers and a very high yield.
The End Game R2 strain smells of sour cherries and gasoline, with lighter notes of grape, orange and incense. Ethos Genetics lists a TAC of 30%+.
This is one of the most beginner-friendly Ethos seeds in the catalog, easy to grow indoors and outdoors. Mid-sized plants with vigorous side branching make canopy management simple.
Expect a 63-70 day bloom and big, dense colas that stack nicely all the way down the branches.
Lineage and Breeding
End Game combines several pillars of Ethos cannabis genetics. Cherry Punch brings bright cherry fruit, Ethos Cookies #16 and #4 add frost, structure and density, and Mandarin Sunset contributes sweet orange and strong production. Crossing End Game #3 with End Game #5 brought those traits together in a single family.
The R2 tag marks the second reversed-female feminized generation. A selected female from the earlier generation was reversed to produce pollen, giving feminized seeds that build on the consistency of the first round. Every seed should grow into a flowering female.
Aroma, Flavor and Effect
The nose opens with sour cherries and gasoline, then layers in light grape, orange and a resinous incense note. Listed terpene families include cherry and fruity. The flavor is tart and fuel-tinged on the inhale with a sweet, fruity finish, and the flowers are pungent enough to fill a room once the jar is open.
The effect is a classic hybrid with a balanced character: an upbeat, cheerful head and a relaxed, comfortable body. It fits easily into evenings with friends, weekend afternoons or a creative session.
Growing End Game R2 Indoors and Outdoors
End Game R2 grows to medium height, sometimes taller, with strong lateral branching and short to medium internodes. Indoors, a single topping and LST or a SCROG net create a level canopy where each branch can build a heavy cola. The big, chunky buds stack up well, so plan for some branch support in late bloom.
She is easy to grow and forgiving of small mistakes, which is why she is rated suitable from beginner to pro. A standard feeding schedule, good airflow and humidity control in the final weeks are enough to get very high yields. Expect about 63-70 days of flowering.
Outdoors and in greenhouses, End Game R2 is just as easy. She grows into a sturdy, productive plant that handles normal weather well. Stake the main branches to support the weight of the dense flowers and keep the canopy open for airflow.
