Blueberry Runtz
Blueberry Runtz
Also known as: Blue Runtz, Blue Runts
Overview
Blueberry Runtz is an indica-dominant hybrid strain created through crossing Blueberry and White Runtz, resulting in a cultivar known for vivid coloration, a distinctively rich aroma, and steady demand among cultivators and consumers alike. This slightly indica-dominant hybrid (approximately 65% indica/35% sativa) showcases the best qualities of its impressive genetic lineage. The strain combines Blueberry's legendary 1970s heritage with White Runtz's modern genetics, with the Blueberry parent strain dating back to the late 1970s when American breeder DJ Short was working with exotic landrace strains.
The buds display a striking appearance with fat and dense grape-shaped bright neon green nugs featuring vividly blue undertones, thin orange hairs, and a coating of tiny blue-tinted white crystal trichomes. As the sparkling and sticky nuggets are pulled apart, aromas of sweet and sour vanilla citrus are released, accented by a spicy blueberry overtone. The strain showcased its genetic heritage proudly at the High Times Cannabis Cup, where it took Best Indica in 2000 for both its medicinal effects and sumptuous vanilla-blueberry taste. This award-winning cultivar has become increasingly popular among cannabis enthusiasts worldwide for its unique combination of sweet berry flavors, balanced effects, and therapeutic potential.

Growing Information
Blueberry Runtz can be grown both indoors and outdoors, with a flowering time of around 9 weeks indoors and harvest in early to mid-October outdoors. The plant tends to grow tall and can yield up to 25 oz per plant outdoors or around 18 oz per square meter indoors, making it a potentially high-yielding strain for growers. This strain requires a warm and sunny climate to thrive, preferring temperatures between 70-80 degrees Fahrenheit (21-27°C) and requires a lot of light. Indoors, Blue Runtz performs well under high-intensity discharge (HID) lights or LED lights, while outdoors it can be grown in areas with a Mediterranean-style climate. The strain is considered to have moderate growing difficulty, making it suitable for growers with some experience. It adapts well to both indoor and outdoor environments and thrives beautifully in both setups when proper climate control is maintained.
