Also known as: Tropical Runts
Tropical Runtz Strain Overview
Tropical Runtz is a sativa-dominant hybrid cannabis strain created by the acclaimed breeding team at Exotic Genetix. This award-winning cultivar emerged from crossing the legendary Runtz strain (itself a cross of Zkittlez and Gelato) with Tropic Truffle (Tropicana Cookies x Mint Chocolate Chip), resulting in a sophisticated genetic combination that showcases the best of both parent lineages. The strain gained significant recognition in the cannabis community after winning multiple High Times Cannabis Cup awards, including 1st place for Sativa Flower at the Michigan People's Choice Edition 2022 and placing in the top three at several other competitions.
Tropical Runtz exhibits a complex morphological structure that defies its sativa-dominant genetics, displaying more indica-like characteristics with compact, bushy growth patterns and dense, conical buds. The flowers feature vibrant green coloration with occasional purple hues, prominent orange pistils, and an exceptionally thick coating of crystalline trichomes that give the buds an almost frosted appearance. Despite its sativa lineage, the plant maintains a relatively short stature with strong stems and close internodal spacing, making it suitable for both indoor and outdoor cultivation.

Tropical Runtz is considered moderately easy to grow, inheriting robust genetics from its Runtz lineage that provide good tolerance for adverse conditions. The strain performs well both indoors and outdoors, with indoor plants benefiting from controlled environments and outdoor plants thriving in full sun with well-amended soil. Flowering time ranges from 8-9 weeks (56-63 days) indoors, with outdoor harvest typically occurring in mid-October. Indoor yields can reach 8-24 ounces per plant, while outdoor cultivation may produce 16-64 ounces per plant under optimal conditions.
