New Runtz Menu Redefines Candy Gas With Exotic Brand Building Genetics

Released in summer of 2024 was our popular Runtz BX3 menu, named Bombshell; our most popular strain of 2023. Runtz crosses have been winning awards and landing on our top strains of the year list a few times now, so we figured working the line would produce strains the community would love and appreciate.

Bombshell (Runtz BX3) was our #1 strain of 2023

Our Runtz BX3 menu is solidifying the candy resin sour gas that people love from Runtz, while creating deep purple black hues on the flowers and foliage with touches of violets and fuchsias. Crosses from this line are the result of deliberate breeding by providing the very best bag appeal with over-the-top flavor ranging from sweet candy to candied fruits like grapefruits and pineapples, with some varieties exhibiting grape kool aid flavors and aromas, all with a distinctive sour gas on the backend. Plants will have great branching with moderate size buds that pack a potent punch delivering flavor that lingers on the palette, perfect for a morning wake ‘n bake or your daily driver. It will provide great pain relief while not causing too much drowsiness, ideal for daytime functionality.

Selecting A Male

Since one of our goals for this menu was to create a Runtz BX4, we hunted for a male that was as close to the original Runtz mother as possible. When you stem rub a Runtz plant, you will smell a very bitter aroma. We looked for that same smell when making our selection on what male to use. The male we used checked off all of the boxes when it came to the characteristics we were looking for.

Trying to keep the Runtz backcross line as close to the original mother as possible means the genetics will be preserved in seed form for future use. With each generation, we see increased vigor, improved resin production, and more consistent phenos, which goes against what most people say about backcrossing, even though those same people have never created a heavily worked backcross line because of those beliefs. 

We have tested our backcross findings in several different lines, our Crippy BX6, our Animal Cookies BX5, our Haole Girl BX4, our GMO BX4, in addition to many others. In our findings conducted through consistent research and experimentation, backcrossing stabilizes a line as long as the breeder selecting the male is able to find one that has 80% or more similarities to the original mother in addition to having also made the right choice on what to outcross the line to when creating the first backcross of the line.

Highly Recommended Varieties 

Besides its favored effect, Runtz has an undeniable sweet candy shop flavor with crosses expressing gourmet fruit juice terps and exotic fragrant flavors, improving the taste of each cross made. While OG gas terps have been a longtime favorite of many connoisseurs, the sugary Runtz profile is great in social settings as the flavor is enjoyed by most cannabis enthusiasts young and old. These strains will both wash well and smoke well in flower form.

Crosses we’re excited about include:

Building Your Brand Starts With The Right Genetics

Both Boujee Runtz and 808 Runtz made our top strains of 2024 list, and we have been getting positive feedback about these crosses. Recreational facilities and smaller licensed grows have been able to set their brand apart with our previous Runtz BX2 line and are starting to give the same feedback about the new BX3 line. If you have a cultivation facility or know someone who has a cultivation facility, you too can set your brand apart by running genetics that outperform the competition. Don’t battle in a race to the bottom with $500 pounds, stand out with bag appeal, potency, and high terpene levels that will allow you to get a premium for your product. 

We have already selected an 808 Runtz male to work further to a Runtz BX5, so stay tuned for more on our Runtz line. Our goal is to keep steadily producing heaters for you all to enjoy.
