Exotic Genetix Description

Sunset Runtz is a hybrid cannabis strain bred in the USA from the almighty Sherbet and Runtz lines. Together, these A-grade hybrids gave rise to a potent, candy-sweet offspring with balanced effects. Keep reading to learn all there is to know about Sunset Runtz, its genetics, origins, and effects.

Sunset Runtz is a hybrid cannabis strain created by Exotic Genetix. Now a renowned name in the US cannabis scene, Exotic Genetix is headed by grower and breeder Mike (AKA Big Stimmy). With a lifelong interest in cannabis, Mike's career as a breeder started while he was working at a hydroponics store in Tacoma, Washington, and began creating free seeds for local medical patients who consistently struggled to source clean clones.

Mike's first official breeding project produced three strains—Supernatural, Essence, and Flurple. Fast-forward to today, however, and Mike and Exotic Genetix have won multiple cannabis cups and created an ever-growing catalogue of strains. Some of Mike's most famous genetic creations include Starfighter, Cookies and Cream, Grease Monkey, and Strawberries & Cream.

As its name implies, Sunset Runtz combines genetics from top-shelf predecessors: Sunset Sherbet and Runtz.

Sunset Sherbet is the flagship strain of Mario Guzman and his Sherbinskis brand. The forefather of the almighty Gelato line of strains, Sunset Sherbet is the variety that earned Mario Guzman his reputation as one of the world's most iconic breeders. Stemming from GSC and Pink Panties, Sunset Sherbet introduced smokers to a whole new realm of flavors and aromas that seamlessly blended notes of fruit, cream, spice, chocolate, and hops. With up to 33% total cannabinoids and high concentrations of terpenes, Sunset Sherbet continues to win over the hearts of anyone lucky enough to smoke her.

Runtz, meanwhile, is an indica-dominant hybrid bred by the Runtz Crew, which consists of breeder Nick, rapper Young LB, and company frontman Ray Bama. Created from a cross of Zkittlez and Gelato, Runtz boasts sugary and fruity terpenes coupled with a relaxing, creative, and social buzz. First commercialized by Cookies, Runtz quickly became extremely popular throughout dispensaries across North America, before eventually becoming recognized all over the world thanks to its exceptional flavors, aromas, and potency. Today, many varieties of Runtz exist, some of which were created by the Runtz Crew, while others were created by other breeders.

Sunset Runtz appears to be slightly indica dominant, producing bushy plants that grow to a medium height and develop multiple flowering tops. As they flower, Sunset Runtz plants take on beautiful dark hues, producing vibrant green flowers with a kaleidoscope of blue and purple intertwined with bright orange pistils and an almost metallic sheen. Combined with their high calyx-to-leaf ratio, dense structure, and excellent resin production, Sunset Runtz buds definitely boast a lot of bag appeal.

As you might assume given her high-profile parents, Sunset Runtz is a very strong hybrid. On average, Sunset Runtz flowers produce around 29% THC and up to 32–33% total cannabinoids. Moreover, Sunset Runtz also features terpenes similar to those found in Sunset Sherbet and Runtz—expect high concentrations of caryophyllene, limonene, linalool, myrcene, and humulene, alongside lower concentrations of pinene and farnesene. Together, these compounds give Sunset Runtz its rich and complex aroma.

Crack open a jar of fresh Sunset Runtz and you'll immediately be hit by the strain's bold candy aromas, which bear a striking resemblance to the original Runtz. Take a second whiff and you'll discover Sunset Runtz' subtler notes of cream and tangy diesel. Tying all of these aromatic notes together, you'll find earthy and spicy undertones as well as upfront fruit aromas. True to its Runtz and Shebet forebears, Sunset Runtz' flavor is dominated by notes of fruit, candy, and gas, followed by a tangy citrus kick and some subtle notes of spice on the exhale.

As mentioned, Sunset Runtz is very potent. Inhale her thick, sweet smoke/vapor and you'll be hit with an immediate rush of mental euphoria coupled with a mild body buzz that grows with time. If you're an experienced smoker with a high tolerance, you may find this strain's initial euphoria to be uplifting and perfect for daytime use. Many experienced users, for example, enjoy Sunset Runtz during the day and report remaining fully functional, be it at work, at home, or while running errands. Users with a lower tolerance, however, may find Sunset Runtz' effect to be too distracting or relaxing and may prefer to enjoy this variety in the afternoon/evenings.

Sunset Runtz gets lots of positive reviews from a variety of users. In general, smokers enjoy the strain for its fragrant terpenes and potency, though medical patients also report finding relief. Based on reviews from users, Sunset Runtz is great for:

• Social gatherings

• Physical relaxation

• Daytime use (if you have a decent tolerance)

• Post-workout recovery
