Watermelon Runtz is a feminized, indica-dominant hybrid strain from Watermelon Zkittlez x Runtz. Both parent lines have been bestsellers in Europe and America for years.
The growth of Watermelon Runtz
Watermelon Runtz grows slim with many side branches and responds well to LST. If overly tall shoots are tied down, the canopy becomes more even. The genetics from Watermelon Zkittlez and Runtz bring exactly the growth pattern expected from modern dessert hybrids: plenty of resin, dense buds and easy trimming.
In terms of yield, Watermelon Runtz is in the upper range. According to the breeder, up to 550 g/m² are possible indoors and up to 1400 g per plant outdoors. The flowers are compact and heavily covered in trichomes. Silent Seeds also states a flowering time of 58 to 65 days indoors and an outdoor harvest from early to mid-October.
The effect of Watermelon Runtz
The effect starts on a positive note and lifts the mood first. After that, it shifts into a calmer and more physical direction. All in all, this is a balanced effect with a positive high at the beginning and a relaxed landing at the end. Silent Seeds itself also describes the progression as initially euphoric-positive and later physically relaxing.
Smell and taste of Watermelon Runtz
On the terpene side, Watermelon Runtz leans fruity and creamy. Ripe watermelon is in the foreground, followed by tropical notes and a light diesel note. It is round, sweet and very pleasant to smoke.
