Runtz

Runtz is a cross between Gelato and Zkittlez. Gelato the Strain of the Year in 2018—a deliciously sweet, creamy blend of Thin Mint GSC and Sherbert. Runtz’s other parent, Zkittles, is a mouthwatering hybrid darling reportedly created by breeding Grape Ape and Grapefruit. This unique strain is loved for its incredibly fruity flavour profile that smells just like a bag of the sugary candy we all know and love. Growers described its aroma as a syrupy berry cream with plenty of gassy notes with vibrant Purple and pink colors in the summer, with shades that go as deep as black-purple in the fall. Runtz comes with a heavy body high and strong chill vibes. It doesn’t jolt you with too much THC; rather, it wraps you in a thick, relaxing aroma.

About this strain: Runtz

Coming out of LA, this strain’s candy-like smelling sweetness and colorful nugs lead to its naming. A mix of Zkittlez and Gelato #33, this strain has a smooth flavor that mostly matches the smell, with additional tropical and earthy hints. With a few different phenotypes, this hybrid strain can lean to either a more dominant sativa or indica. These nugs produce thick resin layers, making it extremely potent in any form. Perhaps that is why this strain is so elusive.
