Also known as: Frosty Runtz
Frosted Runtz Strain Overview
Frosted Runtz is a balanced hybrid cannabis strain that emerged during the candy-terpene wave that swept U.S. legal markets from 2019 through the early 2020s, following the breakout success of the original Runtz lineage. Created through a genetic cross between Ice Cream Cake and White Runtz, this strain is classified as 50% sativa and 50% indica, though some phenotypes lean slightly indica-dominant. The strain gets its name from the exceptionally dense trichome coating that covers the buds like fresh snow, earning its "frosted" designation. Multiple breeding lines exist under this name, with some sources listing different lineages including Tokyo Snow x Double Lemon Cherry from James Loud Genetics, or Runtz x Kush Mints from Ripper Seeds. Frosted Runtz is characterized by its thick, crystalline coating of trichomes that often looks like fresh snow across the bud surface. The buds display a vibrant mix of colors featuring lime to forest-green cores with heavy trichome frosting, bright orange pistils, and occasional purple hues. Under magnification, the strain typically shows many translucent to cloudy trichome heads with a significant number turning amber near peak maturity. The flavor profile is distinctly sweet and fruity with candy-like notes reminiscent of its Runtz lineage, complemented by piney undertones and subtle hints of citrus, vanilla, and earthy spice. The aroma combines sweet fruity candy scents with tropical fruits and refreshing pine notes.
