Runtz Autoflower
Also known as: Runtz Auto, Auto Runtz
Runtz Autoflower Strain Overview
Runtz Autoflower is an autoflowering hybrid cannabis strain that combines the iconic genetics of the original Runtz with ruderalis to create a fast-flowering, compact variant. The strain is created by crossing Zkittlez, Gelato, and ruderalis genetics, inheriting the beloved sweet, fruity characteristics of its photoperiod parent while gaining the quick-growing benefits of autoflowering traits. Originally developed from the famous Runtz strain that was created in Los Angeles in the late 2010s and officially dropped at the Emerald Cup in 2017 by Ray Bama and Young LB, later becoming Cookies' best-selling strain in many markets.
The autoflower version maintains the distinctive candy-like appearance and aroma that made the original strain famous. Plants typically grow 60-100cm (2-3 feet) in height and produce rock-hard buds soaked in resin with a crystalline sheen due to abundant trichomes. Runtz Auto reaches approximately 1 meter tall and completes its lifecycle in just 70 days (10 weeks) from seed to harvest, making it ideal for growers seeking quick turnarounds. The strain displays beautiful coloration, often showing purple, pink, and blue tones inherited from its Zkittlez x Gelato lineage, along with vibrant greens.
