Gruntz
Also known as: Gtz
Overview
Gruntz is an indica-dominant hybrid cannabis strain (70% indica, 30% sativa) that has gained significant popularity in the modern cannabis community for its potent effects and complex flavor profile. The strain's genetics are somewhat disputed, with sources attributing its lineage to either a cross between Zkittlez and Gelato or between Runtz and Gushers. The strain emerged as a potent hybrid created by crossing two renowned cannabis varieties, with sources indicating both Zkittlez x Gelato and Runtz x Gushers as possible parent combinations. Various breeders including Nasha Genetics and Fire Society have brought versions of this strain to market.
The buds display a striking visual appearance with oversized dense minty green nugs with purple undertones, vibrant orange hairs and a coating of crystal trichomes. The flavor experience is characterized by super sweet fruity notes with hints of tropical fruit, combining berry candy flavors with hints of sugary cotton candy. The strain is particularly noted for its complex terpene profile dominated by caryophyllene, limonene, linalool, and myrcene, which contribute both to its distinctive aroma and therapeutic effects. However, consumers should be aware that Gruntz is commonly counterfeited in traditional markets, particularly under certain brand names.
