A glorious parade of flowers featuring fat bulbous nuggs drenched in resin
Both Runtz plants revealed a “damn sporty stretching behavior,” as The Doc put it, triplicating their height during the first 4.5 weeks of flowering. But in doing so, remained pretty compact and solid, “they’ve got an ideal indoor form,” praised The Doc. They were quick to bloom – he happily noticed jump-start flowering with early trichome production. After hardly four weeks, the young buds were adorned with a scintillating glint and about to take on a thick, roundish shape. The Doc noted that the leaf color was becoming increasingly dark, and newly developing sugar and shade leaves had turned dark green and dark violet in parts. Reported The Doc six weeks into flowering: “They’ve massively put on weight in the past two weeks; these lovely Runtz buds are coming out as some fat bulbous nuggets. I also like their high calyx-to-leaf ratio, which will make harvest work a fast cinch. They keep pumping out resin glands in abundance, manifesting a silvery-white look. Also, the flowers spread a delicious scent, just as described, which is fruity, sweet, and a little bit citrusy.
After precisely 60 days, both Runtz plants had turned fully ripe. “Wow, I hadn’t expected they’d take such an additional big leap in the final three weeks! The buds are swollen to the max and
heavily dusted with crystals. Many calyxes in the upper zone of the head and side buds have turned violet in the last third of flowering, which is gorgeous. This undoubtfully was the glorious parade of flowers I had expected!” swooned The Doc. Final heights came out at 78 and 82 cm.
Happy feelings after drying…
The dried buds then radiated a most beautiful icy glory, accompanied by fruity sweet scent clouds so concentrated he almost felt high just inhaling them: “This fragrance dazzles the senses, evoking happy feelings surely heralding the effect to be tested now…” The ample yield also gave him a happy feeling, as both plants had entered the 100+ grams range with dry results of 105 and 112 grams.
A hyper-potent maximum of effect
The first waft of vapor billowing from his Venty vaporizer (loaded with 0.5 grams of Runtz) into his mouth bestowed the sort of premium flavor experience on him he had expected: “The lovely fruit flavor sticks to the palate, gently tickling it with a refreshing dash of lemon – a sophisticated weed taste of the highest order!” The Doc consciously took only one deep, long vaporizer hit and let it sink in because he wanted to find out whether Runtz had what it takes to be a one-hit wonder… “and man, you bet it had! After about half a minute, a mellow, warm vibrating feeling seized my body, while the sun began to shine in my head, Runtz gave me a good deal of balm for the soul”, he said enthused. A euphoriant feeling and physical relaxation which after three more tokes culminated in a hyper-potent maximum effect that brought off the feat of deeply astonishing the old cannabis aficionado and keeping him super high for more than two hours, which made him resort to superlatives: “Rarely in my life have I consumed such a strong marijuana strain!”
Living the Runtz dream…
The Doc summed up his Runtz experience with another hymn of praise: “A true West Coast wonder! One of the most coveted sorts of marijuana in recent years, this variety has come to stay, and there’s no doubt it will become an iconic classic over time. After my fantastic test grow, I’ve got great news for the global cultivator’s community – Barney’s Farm provides awesome high-grade Runtz seeds, enabling every grower to live the Runtz dream!”
