About Rainbow Runtz

Rainbow Runtz is an elite, indica-dominant hybrid bred in California. Crossing the highly flavorful Rainbow Sherbet (Champagne x Blackberry) with the world-famous Runtz, they created a cultivar that represents the absolute peak of the candy-genetics era. The buds are small, incredibly dense, and feature deep shades of purple, green, and orange under a thick crust of sticky resin. The aroma is a massive sensory wave of sweet tropical fruit, sour berries, fresh grape, and a heavy, creamy gas backend. Rainbow Runtz typically tests between 24-28% THC, delivering a fast-acting cerebral euphoria and a heavy, deeply relaxing body stone.
