Black Runtz

Runtz is arguably one of the biggest names in modern cannabis. Since its creation in 2017, numerous phenotypes and recreations of Runtz have hit the market. Black Runtz is one of them, offering delicious sour fruit aromas and a knockout, heavy-handed stone loved by medical patients and experienced recreational smokers alike. Strain History of Black Runtz Black Runtz, you guessed it, is a relative of the renowned Runtz cannabis strain. The strain is rumored to have been created by Big Boss Farms, a mysterious boutique cannabis brand from Burnaby, British Columbia.

Like other Runtz varieties, Black Runtz has become extremely popular among recreational and medical smokers, especially across North America. Now, multiple seed banks and breeders offer their own variations of Black Runtz, though no one has formally taken credit for creating the strain. Some breeders that offer Black Runtz include: • Philosopher Seeds • Blimburn Seeds • Gelato Seeds • Premium Cultivars Genetic Lineage of Black Runtz Big Boss Farms provides no information about their strains. Other seed banks do, however, and most breed Black Runtz either from Zkittlez and Gelato or Black Diamond Sherbet (Black Diamond x Sunset Sherbet) and Runtz. Zkittlez and Gelato are the predecessors of the beloved original Runtz strain, providing the genetic backdrop for the fruity flavors and highly potent effects that Runtz is known for. Similar to Pink Runtz, Black Runtz can come from the same Zkittlez and Gelato mix—breeders just need to select the right phenotype with the unique aromas and effects that this strain is known for. On the other hand, some breeders create Black Runtz by crossing Black Diamond Sherbet with the original Runtz. Similarly, this genetic cross can create a strain with bold sour fruit aromas and that knockout indica stone that has made Black Runtz so
