How to grow Runtz XL Auto
Taste
Seb's take
Crossed with Sweet Gelato Auto, years in the making to get a proper autoflowering Runtz rather than an approximation. Sweet and fruity on the nose, true to the family; the high runs relaxed, happy and creative rather than flattening. At 17-25% THC, a fair spread depending on the phenotype you draw.
Where it comes from
Sweet Seeds' bid at a genuine autoflowering Runtz, rather than an approximation, Runtz crossed with their own Sweet Gelato Auto, catalogued as SWS76. The Sweet Gelato side keeps the exercise in the family, since Gelato is half of Runtz to begin with, and lends the automatic habit besides. Years of breeding went into getting the real article onto a self-flowering clock, and the parentage reflects that patience. A close-kept take on a modern favourite.
Nose & flavour
Sweet and fruity, plainly and pleasantly, the Runtz character kept intact, all candied fruit with nothing sharp to interrupt it. It is the family's calling card, delivered without embellishment: bright, sugary and moreish. The buds colour up handsomely too, which does the aroma no harm at all. A cheerful jar.
The high
Relaxed, happy and creative, a loosening, good-humoured lift rather than a flattening one, keeping the mind engaged as the body eases. The 17 to 25% THC is a fair spread, so the strength you draw depends somewhat on the phenotype you land, but the character holds steady either way. Bright, sociable company throughout.
Growing it
Quick and colourful. Flowering wraps in a brisk 56 days, and she finishes anywhere from 60 to 120cm, a wide range, so allow for the taller end when planning the space. Yields run 400 to 550 g/m², handsome for an auto on this schedule, and the buds put on a rainbow of colour as they ripen, which is half the pleasure of growing her. At 17 to 25% THC, a fast, striking grow.
