Green Apple Runtz
Green Apple Runtz
Also known as: Green Apple Runtz Sugar
Overview
Green Apple Runtz is a rare cannabis strain that has generated considerable interest within the cannabis community, though its true origins remain somewhat mysterious. The strain is believed to be a cross between Apple Fritter and Runtz, creating a sativa-dominant hybrid (approximately 70% sativa/30% indica) that offers an uplifting yet balanced experience. While some sources suggest different breeding lineages, the consensus points to this Apple Fritter × Runtz combination as the most likely genetic background.
This strain is characterized by its striking visual appeal, featuring dense, oversized diamond-shaped buds with bright neon green coloration and golden undertones. The nugs are adorned with thin orange hairs and a generous coating of chunky, golden-amber crystal trichomes that give them a frosty, resinous appearance. The distinctive appearance is complemented by an exceptional flavor profile that lives up to its name, delivering sweet candy-like notes with a prominent green apple tartness and citrusy undertones.
Green Apple Runtz has gained popularity among both recreational and medical cannabis users for its well-balanced effects that begin with an immediate energetic uplift followed by gentle relaxation. The strain's moderate to high THC content, ranging from approximately 19.5% to 29%, makes it appealing to both novice and experienced users. Despite its relatively recent emergence in the cannabis market, Green Apple Runtz has established itself as a sought-after variety, particularly valued for its unique flavor profile and reliable hybrid effects.

Growing Information
Green Apple Runtz can be cultivated both indoors and outdoors, with indoor growing often preferred for better yield control. The strain has a flowering time of approximately 8-9 weeks (56-63 days) and is considered moderately challenging to grow. Indoor yields typically range from 14-17 ounces per square meter, while outdoor plants can produce 18-20 ounces per plant when harvested in mid-October. Plants tend to grow tall (5-8 feet) with medium internodal spacing and robust lateral branching that responds well to training techniques like LST and SCROG. The strain requires proper humidity control (around 50% in late flower) and good ventilation to prevent mold issues and optimize terpene development.
