WHITE RUNTZ

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:

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.

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 (), and fresh floral (linalool) notes.
