When Runtz dropped into the cannabis scene a few years back, it set the standard for new-school brilliance. Quickly developing into one of the main breeding strains of the last five or so years, its impact can be seen in the genetics of many strains, but few can match MSNL's Runtz.

Strain Traits

Runtz strain information
Not many strains take out the top honors in their first year, but Runtz did just that at the 2020 "High Times" Cannabis Cup, winning Best Indica, and then going to bag a bunch of separate awards in the years since. It's an incredibly balanced hybrid, with a 50/50 genetic split that is mirrored in the effects offered.
It seems a little wild that Runtz only became commercially available five years ago, and the lasting impact it has had is a testament to its quality. As mentioned, it's an even balance between the cerebral and physical sides of cannabis effects, which is one of the main reasons why it became an instant classic, but not the only one. The buds are close to the most gorgeous we have seen - medical cannabis patients love its ability to alleviate symptoms of arthritis, nausea, pain, and stress, and rec users can't get enough!
What Are The Effects Of Runtz?
With mid to high THC levels of 20%-28%, Runtz offers a powerful, fast-acting high that balances the best of its Indica and Sativa genetics. A bit of a creeper, so be careful and go slow - but when you hit that sweet spot, expect a potent sense of euphoria and relaxation with just a smidgen of an energy boost.
How do you grow Runtz Seeds?
However, you like, really, this is about as a forgiving strain as we have ever seen.
Runtz does best in slightly warmer climates, growing to a max height of about 5 to 6 feet. Expect a bushy beast of a plant, and implementing some heavy stress training like scrogging and topping will definitely boost that final yield number.
But even when left to grow wild, you'll be bagging up around 400-500gr/m². This is one of the easier strains to grow from the new-school market, so give her a go.
Runtz Taste And Smell
Runtz took the fruity side of the cannabis aroma wheel and turned it up to eleven. These buds are sweet as candy, with an almost overly sweet grape flavor that keeps very much in line with the namesake candy. Caryophyllene, Myrcene, and Limonene are the dominant terpenes, adding to the potential therapeutic benefits of this banger.
