How to grow Black Runtz
Taste
Seb's take
Black Runtz crosses Black Diamond Sherbet with Runtz into a near-even hybrid running 30-32% THC, a sipping strain, not a session one. Earthy fruit opens the nose before pine and a sharp, sour spice take over, while the high stays relaxed at its base with enough creative lift to avoid going fully horizontal. Give her the headroom, and the respect.
Where it comes from
Black Runtz is World Wide Cultivars' cross of Black Diamond Sherbet and Runtz, landing at a near-even 55 per cent indica to 45 sativa. At 30 to 32 per cent THC it sits firmly in heavyweight company, a sipping strain, not a session one. The Runtz side brings the sweetness the name promises; the Black Diamond Sherbet lends the darker, denser structure beneath it.
Nose & flavour
The nose opens on earthy fruit before pine takes over, with a sour, sharp spice arriving at the finish to keep things interesting. A fuller, more brooding profile than the sweetshop lineage might lead you to expect, and none the worse for it.
The high
Relaxed at the base, as the indica lean would suggest, but with enough creative energy threaded through to keep the evening from going fully horizontal. Approach as you would a staircase in the dark, given the numbers, and it rewards the caution with genial company.
Growing it
She reaches around 150cm, building a mostly indica frame around one large central stem with a set of productive side branches, so give her the headroom she asks for. Flowering runs 56 to 63 days, yielding a respectable 397–458 g/m². The THC is the headline, at 30 to 32 per cent, so treat both the plant and the result with the respect they have earned.
