BackRuntz Strain: characteristics, genetics and origins

If you have been informed about the latest trends in the cannabis industry, you have probably read one of the many articles that talk about the strain Runtz and the rise it has experienced in the last couple of years.

 

It is a fresh and hybrid strain whose main attraction is its trichomes. This, together with its particular aroma and its powerful effects when consumed, have turned it into a particular and surprising type of cannabis.

You need to talk to growers and cannabis experts to understand the full extent of what the Runtz Strain has to offer. In fact, you may have even heard of Jason Gellman, founder of Ridgeline Farms who took home an Emerald Cup in 2019 thanks to his quirky Runtz.

 

Jason Gellman himself, who has devoted half his life to studying the characteristics of cannabis, has assured that the Runtz Strain is a strain like no other that has ever been grown before. He has even gone so far as to define its aroma as a "beautiful blend of syrupy berry cream with fizzy notes". Surprising, to say the least, to appreciate all these nuances even on an expert nose.

 

In addition, it attracts both its color tonality and its effects. It is pleasing to the eye, as it has a very peculiar color. In fact, purple and pink colors predominate in summer, and in the colder months the bright pink gives way to an intense violet.

 

As for the effects, the strain Runtz is the queen to combat insomnia. Moreover, it is a hybrid strain that, in this aspect, has much to thank the Indica varieties, with a flavor that could well remind the one known as 'Gelato'.

 

But let's talk about an aspect of particular importance: the THC. It is not one of the smoothest strains, it is necessary to admit it. In fact, the dose of THC that can reach the bloodstream if you consume this type of marijuana is quite high. However, the key is in the sensations, according to all smokers who have tested the Runtz.

 

According to them, Runtz cannabis does not knock you down with its THC dose and allows you to maintain a balance between taste and effects, being aware of everything around you. But those who have tried it describe its effects as "a pleasant and delicate sensation, as if the aroma enveloped you in a thick and relaxing scent".

Let's talk about the origins of Runtz Strain. Although many try to trace the roots to find the exact lineage of the plant, the combinations are so many that it is difficult to obtain reliable data and the trail is soon lost.

 

However, it is widely accepted that the strain Runtz marijuana is a combination of Gelato and Zkittlez. Both are a particularly fruity type of marijuana, which shares many characteristics with the Runtz Strain and are considered by many as first cousins.

 

But there are those who have put the spotlight on other, less fascinating aspects. For example, some say that hybridization is indeed genuine, but that the boost it has received has been the result of a very powerful marketing campaign.

 

Some companies have even spoken out about how the Runtz strain of cannabis was developed. Cookies has said that the recipe used was that of LB, Ray and Nick, the so-called "Cookies Boyz". And, there is no denying it, marketing is still a fundamental tool capable of catapulting the promoted object or product.

 

The brand was officially registered in early 2018 and the name "Runtz" was used as a nod to the plant's yield, the size of its buds and the roots of the Zkittlez strain.

 

Since then, even a few variants of the Runtz strain have been created and one of the best known is the Runtz Strain, which has emerged as one of the most aromatic, fruity and potent marijuana strains of the moment.

There are several aspects of the Runtz strain of cannabis that you should know. To begin with, it is a cannabis that grows around its main terpene, caryophyllene, which acts as a kind of chassis on which the rest of the plant will grow. This is where the gaseous limonene and the floral linalool so characteristic of its aroma will take shape.

 

The caryophyllene stands out for its aroma and, in fact, it is one of the most used elements to train the dogs of the security forces to detect the presence of cannabis. Runtz marijuana contains it in significant quantities, and thanks to it this strain has been able to enjoy an important reception, thanks to its powerful fruity aroma.

 

Another important characteristic is that the second terpene, limonene, evokes citrus fruits and has strong spicy notes in the mouth. It also has astringent properties.

 

As for linalool, very present in lavender, this is responsible for giving it a very interesting aroma, almost identical to that of Blueberry, making the nuances of berries that Gellman mentioned before easily noticeable.

 

With all this in mind, we are talking about one of the most appreciated strains of marijuana for multiple aspects: it is a type of cannabis with a great taste and powerful effects, with a very characteristic evocative aroma, which grows in a resistant and versatile plant able to combine the qualities most appreciated by cannabis fanatics.
