Runtz cannabis seeds
Runtz is the strain that took over the American market around 2019: a cross of Zkittlez and Gelato from Los Angeles, named after the candy, with a taste that genuinely reminds you of it. Fruity, sweet and creamy, with buds that colour from light green to deep purple and a THC content that regularly exceeds 25 percent. Runtz was named Leafly's strain of the year in 2020. This category holds every Runtz variant in our range.

How do you grow Runtz?
Runtz is a balanced hybrid that reaches 90 to 150 cm indoors and branches well; topping and a scrog net help raise the yield. Flowering takes 8 to 10 weeks. The plant is not difficult, but the dense, resinous buds need low humidity in the final weeks. The purple and pink colours come out best with cool nights. Outdoors in northern Europe Runtz is only an option in a warm spot with harvest in October; the autoflowers finish in September and are the sensible outdoor choice.
Effect and taste
Candy-sweet, fruity and creamy, with tropical fruit and berries. The effect is strong and balanced: cheerful and euphoric at first, then calm and relaxed without switching you off completely. Because of the high THC content this is a strain for experienced users.
Why is Runtz so popular?
Because of the combination of an exceptionally sweet taste, a high THC content and colourful buds. It is the strain that brought the American dessert trend to Europe.
Is Runtz suitable for beginners?
The grow is doable after a first experience; watch the humidity in bloom. The effect is strong, so start with a little.
