Red Runtz
Red Runtz is an indica-dominant hybrid from Exotic Genetix, a breeder known for chasing bold flavor and heavy trichome coverage. It came out of the wildly popular Runtz family, crossed with the rarer, soda-flavored Red Pop to give it a fruitier, candy-like twist all its own. Red Runtz quickly stood out even in a crowded field of Runtz spinoffs, earning a name for its eye-catching maroon-purple buds and sweet, sour-candy character. It’s a fun pick if you enjoy dessert-forward flower with a little extra visual flair, and a strain worth getting to know at your local dispensary.
