white runtz

White Runtz is an evenly balanced hybrid strain (50% indica/50% sativa) created through crossing the classic Zkittlez X Gelato strains. Known for its super delicious flavor and long-lasting high, it is perfect for any hybrid lover. This bud packs a flavor much like its name suggests – sweet and sour fruity candy with a light touch of citrus. The aroma is very similar, with an earthy citrus overtone that’s accented by fresh sweet fruits.

The strain high is just as delicious as the flavor, with relaxing and long-lasting effects that will have you kicked back and feeling totally at ease in no time at all. It starts with a tingly effect in the spine and the back of the neck, which quickly works its way forward throughout the rest of your body.

Thanks to these effects and its super high 23-24% average THC level, White Runtz is often chosen to treat those suffering from conditions such as chronic stress, muscle spasms or cramps, chronic stress or anxiety and chronic pain. White Runtz buds have spade-shaped oversized super thick forest green nugs with deep undertones, long thin reddish orange hairs and a coating of frosty tiny white crystal trichomes.

WHITE RUNTZ – A FRUITY MASTERPIECE WITH A HARD-HITTING STONE

If you’re looking for a premium cannabis strain that offers a good balance of effects, White Runtz is one of the top choices. This hybrid cross between Gelato and Zkittlez has quickly become a favourite among cannabis enthusiasts, especially in California. In this article, we’ll explore the history, genetics, effects, and growing characteristics of White Runtz.

GENETIC BACKGROUND OF WHITE RUNTZ: SOUTHERN CALI ORIGINS

Runtz is a beloved cannabis variety that’s taken the cannabis world by storm. Originally from Los Angeles, the variety was hard to come by outside of Southern California for quite some time, though that has changed. Cannabis folklore suggests that Berner, a rapper and cannabis entrepreneur, was the first to bring Runtz onto the market.

White Runtz is a unique variety of Runtz that gets its name from the thick layer of trichomes that gives the strain a snow-white appearance. White Runtz is the result of crossbreeding between two indica-dominant strains—Gelato and Zkittlez. However, White Runtz is a well-balanced hybrid, boasting effects that combine physical relaxation and euphoria. Like other Runtz varieties, White Runtz exhibits sweet, fruity flavours and aromas reminiscent of its parents and the famous candies she’s named after. Her THC levels vary, but generally clock in at 20%, while her CBD levels are usually below 1%; combined with her rich concentration of terpenes, this makes for a strain with relaxing physical effects as well as an uplifting euphoria.

GELATO

Gelato is an indica-dominant hybrid combining Sunset Sherbet and Thin Mint Girl Scout Cookies genetics. It has a sweet, fruity, almost creamy flavour, as well as relaxing, euphoric effects, characteristic of many modern US hybrids. Gelato is a popular strain among cannabis enthusiasts due to its well-balanced high and delicious flavour. It typically has THC levels of 20–25% and low CBD levels.

ZKITTLEZ

Zkittlez is an indica-dominant hybrid strain created by crossing Grape Ape and Grapefruit. It has a sweet, fruity flavour and effects that are both calming and uplifting. Both the aroma and flavour of Zkittlez boast a unique candy-like sweetness, reminiscent of Skittles. Like its parent strains, Zkittlez produces dense, resinous flowers with a frosty coating of trichomes. While there are now many varieties of Zkittlez on the market, this strain typically boasts THC levels of around 20%. Zkittlez flowers in roughly 8–10 weeks (depending on genetics and phenotype) and is considered a great strain for novice growers as it is fairly easy to cultivate.

AROMA AND FLAVOUR OF WHITE RUNTZ: CANDY SWEETNESS

White Runtz has a sweet aroma with bold candied fruit notes, reminiscent of Zkittlez. Some users may also pick up on subtle creamy undertones, reminiscent of Gelato. White Runtz gets her aroma from a unique blend of terpenes, the most dominant of which are caryophyllene, limonene, and linalool.

Caryophyllene, which is also found in black pepper, has a spicy and peppery aroma that gives White Runtz a slight kick. Studies have explored caryophyllene’s potential anti-inflammatory and pain-relieving effects.

Limonene, on the other hand, is commonly found in the zest of lemons, limes, and other citrus fruits and has a distinct, fresh, zesty citrus aroma. Limonene is recognised for having potential anti-stress and anxiolytic properties.

Finally, linalool is a naturally occurring terpene found in several plants other than cannabis, including lavender, rosewood, and basil. It has a fresh floral aroma and has been shown to exhibit potential therapeutic benefits, including anti-inflammatory, analgesic, anxiolytic, and antimicrobial effects.

Thanks to these and other secondary terpenes, White Runtz has a unique aroma with vibrant sweet fruit and candy overtones. However, a trained nose may also be able to pick up on subtler elements of her aroma, including spicy (caryophyllene), citrus (limonene), and fresh floral (linalool) notes.

POTENCY AND EFFECTS OF WHITE RUNTZ: PLEASANT SEDATION

White Runtz is a potent hybrid with a THC content of around 20% and CBD levels of under 1%. One of the top-reported effects of White Runtz is her deep, tingling body stone that’s ideal for relaxing as well as relieving symptoms of physical discomfort. White Runtz is also known to produce a strong mental euphoria that’s uplifting and mood-boosting. In general, the most common effects reported by White Runtz users include:

• Euphoria
• Relaxation/sedation
• Happiness

RECREATIONAL USES

White Runtz is a well-loved cannabis strain among recreational users who want to unwind after a long day. This strain produces a strong, relaxing physical effect that soothes the body and may produce tingling sensations in the limbs. The strain’s euphoria also makes it a popular choice for those seeking a mood boost. It can be enjoyed alone or in good company, as long as staying productive isn’t a priority.

MEDICAL USES

White Runtz’s strong physical effects and euphoria also make it a popular strain for medical cannabis users. Her long-lasting body stone may prove attractive to patients dealing with chronic physical pain. Meanwhile, White Runtz’s euphoric and uplifting effect on mood may also be beneficial for patients dealing with stress, anxiety, and depression. Since White Runtz can produce sedative effects when taken in large doses, she may also prove attractive to patients struggling with sleep issues.

Remember that, while there has been some study on the general medical benefits of cannabis, no studies have explored the specific therapeutic potential of White Runtz. Hence, it’s important to seek the advice of a medical professional before using this strain to treat any medical condition.

SIDE EFFECTS

White Runtz is a highly potent cannabis strain that can cause unwanted side effects, including dry mouth, dry eyes, dizziness, and paranoia. The strong physical stone and couchlock sometimes caused by White Runtz may also prove unpleasant to some users.

If you do experience negative side effects from using White Runtz, or any other high-strength cannabis strain, there are some things you can do to help mediate them. Staying hydrated by drinking plenty of water can help to reduce dry mouth and eyes. Taking small doses may also help to reduce side effects, as may taking CBD. Where possible, avoid mixing cannabis with alcohol and other intoxicating substances.
