Pineapple Runtz
Pineapple Runtz
Also known as: Pineapple Runtz Auto, Pineapple Runtz Cake, PRC
Overview
Pineapple Runtz is an indica-dominant hybrid strain (80% indica/20% sativa) created through crossing White Runtz with Pineapple Kush strains. Multiple versions exist, with Ethos Genetics offering an autoflowering variety created by crossing Runtz with Piña Auto, and Anesia Seeds releasing another version. This modern, dessert-leaning hybrid is celebrated for its tropical-candy terpene profile, dense resin coverage, and high THC potential, blending the fruit-forward brightness of pineapple-forward cultivars with the sugary confectionery character of the Runtz family. The strain features fat rounded forest green nugs with dark purple undertones, long thin amber hairs and frosty, tiny white crystal trichomes. Total cannabinoid numbers are frequently above 20% by weight, with total terpene content often between 1.5% and 3.5%, supporting the bold aromatics that set it apart, with total THC commonly in the 20%–28% range. Ethos Genetics describes their Pineapple Runtz Auto as potentially "the first Auto we've created that I think could potentially win a Cannabis Cup," noting it's "terpy and resinous with spectacular functional effects".

Growing Information
Pineapple Runtz Auto has a life cycle of 70-80 days from seed to harvest with medium yields and a total active cannabinoid content of 20-25%. The strain is designed to thrive in various growing environments, whether indoors or outdoors, and is noted for its ease of cultivation, making it beginner-friendly. Indoor yields typically range 450–600 g/m² (1.5–2.0 oz/ft²), with elite phenotypes potentially reaching 600–750 g/m² in optimized conditions. Outdoors in temperate climates with full sun, healthy plants can exceed 600–1,200 g per plant. Harvest windows outdoors are typically early to mid-October at 35–45°N latitude. Some phenotypes can be sensitive to nutrients, requiring feeding below 550 ppm to maintain healthy green foliage.
