Description
Genetics: Runtz x Runtz (Original Lineage: Gelato x ZSkittles)
Type: Hybrid
Seed Type: Feminized
Flowering: 8-9 weeks
Yield: Good
Runtz is a hard to get yet insanely popular strain, and for a good reason. These seeds were made from an original clone-only Runtz. Some phenotypes will match the clone-only Runtz exactly, and some phenotypes will be very similar, but lean toward one of the parents.
Bought this speculatively, no prior experience with Elev8, and it has been incredible!! Smooth grow, training was easy, took all the light I could throw at it, fast nutrient uptake, flower period was shorter than normal but the buds were great! Dense, frosty, great terps, and a really good expression of Runtz. Also, great consistency so no need to clone/reveg (I hope!). Will definitely be buying more…….

Hi there! Thank you for leaving such a nice review—We’re so glad you loved this one! You can share all your images with us at info@elev8seeds.com or on socials, we’d be stoked to see your results! Thanks again, The Elev8 Team 🌱
So this is the first strain I grew from Elev8. I was unsure of what to expect from this seed-bank as all offer differing quality genetics. Some breed their own phenos like Elev8, etc. so unlike with clones, with seeds, it can be a needle in a haystack finding that pheno that made the strain popular in the first place. That being said, I’ve never tried the original Runtz strain so I don’t have the original to compare from. What I DO know is how this pheno turned out for me from Elev8. I believe I ordered 6 fem seeds if I’m not mistaken. I grew them in the only place in my yard that I can grow cannabis, which is under some large oaks trees in partial shade almost all day long. Only about an hour of direct sunlight. The strain grew small medium sized as I kept it in a small outdoor smart pot since I put it out late last season for various reasons. The. It’s we’re not super dense, but I attribute that the partial shade location I grew in addition to an experiment of using only water and no fertilizers. I used one compost tea in mid flower and that was it. I wanted to see what this train just with basicAlly only water, grown in soil in partial shade outdoors. And the result: SUPER FROSTY BUDS. I mean so frosty that when i break a cured nug in half thc dust poofs off and sprinkles down.
I can only imagine what this strain might do under better conditions with an organic feeding regimen. All I have to say is so far I’m pretty impressed.
The strain grew SUPER funky and finicky but in the end produced frosty tasty nugs. I I believe some of the finickyness of the grow was due to my errors as I had a lot going on and neglected these plants early on in the seedling veg stage.
I also have some thin mints GSC from them that I’m looking forward to growing now. I think I have a few Runtz seeds left too. Which reminds me I planted 3 of the 6 seeds and 2 popped with vigor and one was kind of a dud which honestly didn’t bother me. That happens and I don’t think and sees bank or strain should be held to a 100% germination expectation. That’s just ridiculous. Though if a seedbank wants to reimburse for did seeds that’s always nice but for me not something I expect and certainly not something that makes me mad when it happens. As long as most of the germ I’m good with that.
Fast hitting, good hybrid feel, gassy/fuel, nice sugary at the end. There may be the slightest of fruity taste in there but I get more of a fuel/sugary thing goin on. My nugs are strait dark purple. As I let them go to late October to promote the purple color with some of the cold night in mid and late October.
Happy growing everyone! I know that was a long review but hope that helps if you’re in the fence to get this strain or not. I’d say go for it! I hardly did anything all summer to it. I mean literally almost did nothing, no joke and the strain was oozing crystals and odor. It smelled up the entire yard with only one plant as I accidentally let my second plant die. Try this strain out!
Runtz made the Leafly 2020 strain of the year and for good reason. Perfect for the true connoisseur. A quick hitting and long lasting good time follows every bong hit.
Just Bought my first pack of seeds I got the runts first time growing seeds anyone have any advice that I can have much appreciated! Thanks
