RUNTZ

Runtz is a unique strain in that it is an almost perfectly balanced hybrid. As one would expect from such a strain, its effects are perfectly balanced, too. Whether you prefer a cerebral or a body high, you’re sure to get what you want out of this strain. After the first few tokes, stress and anxiety will melt away to be replaced with feelings of happiness and euphoria. It’s common to get the giggles with Runtz, so sit back and relax with a comedy movie and a few friends. Accompanying the cerebral uplift is a loss of focus. This is not a strain to use when there are tasks on your to-do list, so use it on a Friday afternoon when you are looking to unwind. Following the sativa head high is a tingly body-numbing experience. Runtz has an extraordinary ability to banish pain from every nook and cranny of the body, numbing you from tip to toe. Be aware that the high can be long-lasting, so don’t take Runtz if you have evening plans.

“Strikingly sweet” is the way most people would describe Runtz. Of course, it has the typical earthiness characteristic of any marijuana strain, but its uniqueness stems from the fruity tones. Primarily, users are likely to detect notes of cherries, berries, and strawberries. Many users are pleased to discover that Runtz is a rather subtle strain. It’s not as pungent as many others, making discreet smoking a possibility.

The flavor is very similar to the aroma, with fruity overtones dominating its profile. Strawberry is the order of the day, but strong notes of grapefruit are also detectable. The combination of sweet berries and citrus grapefruit creates a sour-candy-like flavor profile that’s really delicious. The sweetness lingers on the tastebuds, which could have you craving just one more toke.

The name gives away Runtz’s most special feature. Amongst dense nugs of olive green, Runtz sports flecks of pink on the edges of its growth. A rainbow of other hues, including blue and purple leaves, decorate this plant. It’s a marvel to grow and makes a welcome addition to any cannabis garden.

If you love the sound of  Runtz so far, then wait until you hear this: it possesses an exceptional resistance to common diseases and pests. As a result, it’s a popular strain to grow because it needs less care than some other strains. Despite being a balanced hybrid, Runtz grows like a sativa in the latter stages. You will need to train the plants to get the best yield, ensuring that it grows outward instead of straight upward. The Sea of Green (SoG) method works great with Runtz.

Runtz can grow very fast and provide high yields if you give it the right care. Lots of cultivators nourish this strain with nitrogen supplements, but be careful to avoid nutrient burn. Indoors,Runtz flowers in around 7-9 weeks and yields approximately 14-16oz per square meter. However, this strain loves space, so growing outside is preferable. In the Northern hemisphere, it will flower around mid-October and can yield up to 18 ounces per plant.

Most samples of Runtz possess around 24% THC. It’s quite a stable strain, with little variation from this average. This amount is a good dose for a wide variety of users, but beginners should still exercise plenty of caution.

Runtz has no CBD to speak of, which can make its THC effects more potent.

All strains come with some side effects. In the case of Runtz, users are likely to experience the typical dry mouth and red eyes that accompany almost all strains. More specific to  Runtz, some users suffer from headaches as a result of this strain. The cerebral high can also lead to dizziness in those who have a lower tolerance for THC. Despite a relatively moderate THC dose, taking too much Runtz can still lead to anxiety.
