How to Grow Runtz
Runtz seeds are rare but available as regular and feminized seeds from a handful of seed banks. Its seeds are usually made from an original clone-only Runtz. As one of the newer strains on the market, its phenotypes can match the hyped-about Runtz or one of its parents. Either way, the strain can be grown indoors or outdoors.
Some growers claim that Runtz thrives in the outdoors and produces a better yield, flavor, and aroma. However, growing plants indoors is perfectly fine. Like many other Cookies strains, this hybrid has a strong growth with a slender body. Expect strong lateral branching. This strain responds so well to training and apical pruning.
During its growth, this plant is very hardy and low maintenance. This strain has been able to adapt to SOG or SCROG cultivation methods. It has also grown well under various substrates such as soil, Rockwool, coconut, or hydroponic systems.
