Also known as: McRuntz OG, McRuntz Cake
McRuntz Strain Overview
McRuntz is a modern hybrid cannabis strain that emerged in the late 2010s, representing a cross between two highly regarded strains: Runtz and Gelato. This strain was developed to combine the candy-like sweetness of Runtz with the creamy, dessert-like qualities of Gelato, resulting in a cultivar that has gained popularity in both recreational and medicinal cannabis markets. The strain's name reflects its lineage while suggesting a premium, high-quality product, though its exact breeding history remains somewhat obscure, with multiple breeders claiming development of similar phenotypes.
Visually, McRuntz buds are typically dense and chunky, displaying a vibrant color palette that ranges from deep forest green to purple hues, often accented by bright orange pistils. The flowers are usually heavily coated in trichomes, giving them a frosty, crystalline appearance that indicates high cannabinoid content. The strain's aroma profile is complex, combining sweet, fruity notes with undertones of earthiness and gas, which becomes more pronounced when the buds are broken apart or ground.
McRuntz has gained recognition for its balanced effects and potent psychoactive properties, making it a favorite among experienced cannabis consumers. The strain's popularity has led to numerous phenotype variations and regional adaptations, though the core characteristics remain consistent across most expressions. As with many modern hybrids, precise genetic information can vary between different breeders' versions of McRuntz, leading to some variation in effects and appearance depending on the specific cultivation practices and phenotype selection.

McRuntz Strain Growing Information
McRuntz is considered a moderately difficult strain to cultivate, requiring some experience to achieve optimal results. 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 good, producing approximately 400-500 grams per square meter, while outdoor plants can yield 500-600 grams per plant under ideal conditions. McRuntz plants tend to be medium in height, making them suitable for both indoor and outdoor cultivation, though they perform particularly well in controlled indoor environments where temperature and humidity can be carefully managed. The plants benefit from techniques like low-stress training (LST) and screen of green (SCROG) to maximize light exposure and bud development. Growers should monitor for common cannabis pests and maintain proper airflow to prevent mold, especially given the strain's dense bud structure.
