Funk Runtz
Also known as: Funk Runtz OG
Funk Runtz Strain Overview
Funk Runtz is a modern hybrid cannabis strain that emerged in the late 2010s as part of the popular Runtz family of strains. This cultivar represents a cross between two notable parent strains: Runtz (itself a hybrid of Zkittlez and Gelato) and an undisclosed 'Funk' variety, though some sources suggest it may involve genetics from strains like GMO Cookies or other funky, gassy phenotypes. The strain gained popularity through California's cannabis scene before spreading to other legal markets, becoming known for its distinctive aromatic profile and balanced effects.
The strain's appearance is characterized by dense, chunky buds with a structure reminiscent of its Runtz parentage. The nugs typically display deep purple and forest green hues, often accented by vibrant orange pistils and a generous coating of frosty trichomes that give the buds a sugary appearance. The leaves are usually dark green with occasional purple undertones, particularly when exposed to cooler temperatures during cultivation. The buds are notably resinous and sticky to the touch, making them popular among concentrate producers.
Funk Runtz is distinguished by its complex aromatic profile that combines sweet, fruity notes from its Runtz lineage with pungent, gassy undertones from its 'Funk' parent. This creates a unique sensory experience that has made it a favorite among connoisseurs seeking both flavor and potency. The strain's effects are typically described as balanced, providing both cerebral stimulation and physical relaxation, though individual experiences may vary based on phenotype and cultivation methods.

Funk Runtz Strain Growing Information
Funk Runtz is considered a moderate-difficulty strain to cultivate, suitable for growers with some experience. The plants typically flower in 8-10 weeks indoors, with outdoor harvests occurring in late September to early October in northern hemisphere climates. Indoor yields are generally moderate to high, producing approximately 400-500 grams per square meter under optimal conditions. Outdoor plants can yield 500-600 grams per plant in favorable environments.
The plants tend to develop a bushy structure with strong lateral branching, requiring some training techniques like topping or low-stress training to maximize light penetration and airflow. They prefer a Mediterranean-like climate when grown outdoors, with plenty of sunlight and moderate humidity. Indoor cultivation benefits from temperature control (68-80°F/20-27°C) and careful humidity management, especially during flowering to prevent mold. The strain responds well to both soil and hydroponic systems, though some phenotypes may be sensitive to nutrient levels. Regular pruning is recommended to maintain airflow and prevent pest issues.
