Wrank R2 is one of the most talked-about funk strains in the Ethos Genetics lineup, a feminized photoperiod with two very different, very pungent terpene expressions and a high yield. Ethos named her after the first one, a hard-to-describe stink that recalls rotting meat at an old gas station. The second leans toward ripe strawberries, sweet berries, sandalwood and sour. If you have been hunting the Wrank strain, this R2 is the Ethos seeds release that refines it.
Behind the funk is a cooperative plant. She stays fairly compact, branches strongly to the sides and grows easily in just about any environment, which makes her approachable for growers who want loud terpenes without a complicated grow.
Ethos lists TAC of 30% and above for this line, and both phenotypes produce plenty of resin.
Lineage and the R2 Generation
Wrank R2 is built from Strawberry OG Cookies crossed with End Game 3, then crossed with itself again in its reversed form: (Strawberry OG Cookies x End Game 3) x (Strawberry OG Cookies x End Game 3). The Strawberry OG Cookies side explains the berry pheno, while End Game 3 brings the gassy, savory depth.
R2 is the second reversed-female feminized generation. Selected females from the R1 generation are crossed again using pollen from a reversed sister, which tightens the line and keeps every seed feminized.
Aroma, Flavor and Effect
The funk pheno is the reason the name exists: savory, rotten and gassy, with a sharpness that fills a room quickly. It is not a candy strain, and that is exactly the appeal for collectors of weird, loud terpenes. The berry pheno flips the script with ripe strawberry, mixed sweet berries, smooth sandalwood and a sour twist.
Ethos classes her effect as classic hybrid and calls her extremely hard-hitting. Expect a strong, full experience that engages both head and body, so go slow with the first session.
Growing Wrank R2 Indoors and Outdoors
Indoors, her fairly compact frame suits tents of most sizes. Top once and spread the side branches to create an even canopy, and use strong carbon filtration, because both phenos get very loud in late flower. Bloom runs 60 to 70 days depending on the plant.
Outdoors and in greenhouses she grows easily and produces well. Ethos describes her as easy to grow in any environment, and intermediate and experienced growers will enjoy selecting between the two terpene directions. Consider running several seeds to find your preferred pheno.
