Sunset Runtz Strain Overview
Sunset Runtz is a hybrid cannabis strain created by Exotic Genetix, a renowned name in the US cannabis scene headed by grower and breeder Mike (AKA Big Stimmy). This strain is made from a genetic cross between Sunset Sherbet and Runtz, combining genetics from these A-grade hybrids to produce a potent, candy-sweet offspring with balanced effects. Sunset Runtz is an indica-dominant hybrid with a 60% Indica / 40% Sativa composition (some sources indicate 80% indica/20% sativa), representing the perfect fusion of Sunset Sherbet's sweet and fruity flavor profile with tropical citrus notes and Runtz's earthy undertones.
This strain was recognized as a 2022 NECANN 2nd Place Winner and has gained significant popularity in both recreational and medical cannabis communities. Named for its gorgeous appearance and tropical flavor, Sunset Runtz is perfect for any indica lover who wants great taste with their medicine. As they flower, Sunset Runtz plants develop beautiful dark hues, producing vibrant green flowers with a kaleidoscope of blue and purple intertwined with bright orange pistils and an almost metallic sheen. Combined with their high calyx-to-leaf ratio, dense structure, and excellent resin production, Sunset Runtz buds definitely boast significant bag appeal. The strain typically produces around 20-23% THC on average, with some phenotypes reaching up to 29-33% total cannabinoids, making it a choice for experienced cannabis consumers seeking potent effects.
