Also known as: Runtz OG, Candied Runtz, Candy Runts
Candy Runtz Strain Overview
Candy Runtz is a perfectly balanced hybrid strain (50% indica/50% sativa) created through crossing the iconic Zkittlez and Gelato strains. This strain was developed by Nasha Genetics through strategic genetic selection, though it's also closely associated with the Runtz Crew and Cookies Fam, who introduced the broader Runtz family at the 2017 Santa Rosa Emerald Cup. The strain achieves a remarkable THC content ranging from 37-38%, making it one of the more potent options available to consumers, though other sources report THC levels ranging from 19-38% on average.
Candy Runtz is visually striking with dense, diamond-shaped forest green nugs featuring super thin red-orange hairs and a frosty coating of chunky, amber-tinted white crystal trichomes. The strain is eye-catching with dense, colorful nugs, bright orange pistils, and a layer of violet-tinted trichomes, with buds found in varying colors including pink, purple, and black depending on growing conditions. Its flavor profile combines sweet candy-like tastes with tropical fruits, sour berries, and creamy caramel undertones, with an aroma featuring fresh fruits, sour citrus and creamy, caramel candies. The strain flowers in approximately 60 days and represents careful genetic selection with Zkittlez contributing sweet, fruity notes and uplifting effects, while Gelato provides creamy undertones and balanced properties.
