A member of the beloved Runtz family, the Cherry Runtz strain is a potent offspring of one of the most popular cultivars of the past few years. A cross between Runtz and Cherry Pie, Cherry Runtz is a balanced hybrid originally bred by Elev8 Seeds. The strain is known for its unique rose and cherry flavors, as well as its range of effects.

Cherry Runtz Strain Genetics & Effects

As an offspring of hybrid and indica-leaning strains, Cherry Runtz offers a balanced experience that leans on the relaxing side. As a cross between Zkittlez and Gelato, the Runtz side brings two popular, fruity strains to the picture. The Cherry Pie side also contains two renowned parents, Grandaddy Purp and Durban Poison— adding to its balanced, delectable profile.

The Runtz side may be to thank for balancing out the more relaxing Cherry Pie side of Cherry Runtz. Runtz is believed to produce euphoric, uplifting effects, while Cherry Pie is more known for soothing the mind and relaxing the body. Thus, the cross of the two produces the widely loved, balanced Cherry Runtz experience.

With two potent parents, Cherry Runtz typically contains high levels of THC. Sitting around 20% THC, Cherry Runtz may be great for those looking for a strong recreational experience or relief from medical disorders. Medical marijuana patients often use Cherry Runtz for potential relief from pain, anxiety, and arthritis.

Cherry Runtz also may contain around 1% CBG. This cannabinoid is known for producing potentially clearheaded and focus-centric effects. Therefore, people look toward strains with a high CBG content to help calm a racing or wandering mind. Furthermore, Cherry Runtz’ dominant terpene, limonene, lends more therapeutic benefits. This terpene is known for its potential anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, anti-cancer, anti-diabetic, anti-hyperalgesia, antiviral, and gastro-protective properties.

Cherry Runtz Appearance, Flavors, & Aroma

Beneath its thick layer of trichomes, Cherry Runtz has a deep purple tone with vibrant green hues throughout. Fiery orange pistils and kief are nestled in the nooks and crannies of this strain. The buds are thick, dense, and sticky due to its high resin content.

As the name and genetics suggest, Cherry Runtz has a pungent, fruity profile. The sweet nose has tangy and tropical flavors, including cherry, rose, and berries. On the inhale, users may taste hints of sweet dough, vanilla, and fruit.
