Indica / Sativa — retail shopping guide

Indica 50%Sativa 50%

Indica, sativa and hybrid are a retail shopping convention — not a reliable guide to genetics or effects. When researchers analysed 89,923 commercial samples across six states, these labels did not predict a plant’s terpene or cannabinoid profile, and a genome-wide study found sativa- and indica-labelled plants to be genetically indistinct (PLOS ONE 2022; Nature Plants 2021). The labels are so fluid that AK-47, a hybrid, won “Best Sativa” at the 1999 Cannabis Cup and “Best Indica” four years later. For an accurate, genetics-true picture, see the chemotype above.

About Crystal Runtz

Crystal Runtz exhibits a more vigorous germination, development and rooting than Zkittlez, known to be somewhat sluggish in growth and root development. The contribution of Crystal Gelato, a spectacular Gelato family strain, greatly improves this feature. The result is a hybrid with a faster overall development than Zkittlez. Crystal Runtz is notable for its thick resin layer that coats both calyxes and leaves, particularly those closest to the flowers. This makes it an excellent candidate for elaborating high quality resin extractions, with powerful organoleptic properties and above average yields. Crustal Runtz, flavour and effect are its strong points Crystal Runtz has a flowering period of about 8-9 weeks indoors. Its aroma is a true spectacle of nuances, from intense fruity and sweet notes that blend perfectly with creamy notes inherited from Gelato. Definitely, a real blast for the taste buds. It produces a balanced effect between what you would expect from an Indica and Sativa hybrid, with an initial euphoria that progresses to a pleasant relaxing state. It is a very versatile cannabis plant, and can be used in many situations, yet the consumption should be controlled if we
