I forgot there was a Runtz thread. aaaand I might be 3 years late to the Runtz party, but this here’s my Christmas Runtz.

I dropped two seeds mid-July. One seed crapped out. The other took its sweet-ass time getting started. But she looks pretty good now. I topped her at the 6th node and bent her over.

Those pics are from a few days ago. She’s got 9 colas now and I’m gonna flip her 10/01 so I don’t have to think too hard about how long it’s been since I’ve flipped her.

Oh. That’s today now. :joy:

@LasVegas7 It’s the Christmas Runtz, because we’d like it to be done by Christmas. I hope you tag along.

Wow this thread got old quick. Some REALLY exciting news. I have been searching for a Real male Runts plant for years and years. Well holy shit i got one!!!



I could literally do a happy Dance. To me this is super exciting. I have the last 3 of my Runtz seeds growing now and i have 2 females and 1 male! Runtz is my signature strain from from 2017 and now im going to have Regular photoperiod seeds. What are the chances that in the last 3 seeds theres a male. Omg im soooo excited for the upcoming seeds.

Omg I love the good Runtz from around that time. But I feel like that name was stuck on any Zkittlez x Gelato cross ever since, resulting in one of the biggest jokes in the history of breeding.
So I’m definitely down to buy some if you think you have some early days Runtz.

Actually the Runtz seeds i have came from me! The Runtz strain was never sold as seeds when it 1st came out in dispensaries. If you go way bak to the top of the thread i explain where the seeds are from. And ive been growing the Runtz since 2019. In 2022 i remade the strain using my plants. And its kind of my signature strain i made. This male is from the old Runtz seeds. I had 4 seeds left and they were getting old. So i figured i would remake the strain and low and behold i had a male in the fridge!

Very very nice! Since my sts solution seems to be too old to be effective anymore. And instead of wasting the grow. I have been pollinating the pirates cake cross i made withe the male Runtz plants pollen and trying to reverse it wasnt working. So insted of female seeds ill have a new cross in a couple months of regulars instead. I love the pirates cake cross i have going. And i love the Runtz strain so we should get some kind of fire strain happening :pray: but also i only have the female pirates Cake plant and i have had it for more than a year but no seeds. Shes the only one in existence now. I have more of her for later flowering so i can try and reverse her again.

Man this male is in full pollen DUMP mode.

and we have lots of pollinated bud sites and this female is just begining to flower so shes going to make a LOT of seeds.



Pollinated plants that are pollinated earlier in there flowering cycle will make a lot more seeds over her flowering phase then a plant thats not pollinated sooner Than later. Usually 40% more seeds.

So i took the males top off for the pollen and some side shoot flower clusters. And filled my pollen box. I built the pollen box for BIG male flower clusters.



Heres the pollen box and im also using 14" tweezers and 8" trimmers.

I have a bed side table and i can get the pollen box right there next to the plant.
