Black Cherry Runtz is a mesmerizing cannabis cultivar that has rapidly gained popularity in the cannabis community. This hybrid strain is the result of crossing Black Cherry Pie and Pink Runtz, each bringing unique characteristics and flavors. Black Cherry Pie is an indica-dominant strain renowned for its sweet, fruity flavors complemented by earthy undertones. Pink Runtz, on the other hand, boasts a candy-like, floral flavor profile. Together, these strains create a distinctive blend of flavors and aromas, making Black Cherry Runtz a must-try for cannabis aficionados.
Black Cherry Pie exhibits prominent indica traits, reflected in its lineage: (Black Cherry Soda) x (Black Cherry Soda x 501st OG). This strain is a true cannabis gem, offering purple flower buds with an enchanting aroma and taste reminiscent of classic Cherry Skunk but with an added fuel note, most likely from its 501st OG genetics. It’s believed to have been bred in the Bay Area by a grower known online as PieGuy420. This is a powerful strain with some interesting genetics.
Pink Runtz is a well-balanced hybrid closely related to the traditional Runtz cultivar, only with the cross being (Pink Panties) x (Rainbow Sherbet). Bred by Tommy at Universally Seeded, Pink Runtz has gained significant popularity. Its aroma and flavor mirror the original Runtz but with a sweeter floral, fruity finish. Unlike classic Runtz, Pink Runtz displays a distinctive light purple/pink hue. The light purple differentiates it from other Runtz crosses.
The flower buds of Black Cherry Runtz showcase lavender purple hues with a high calyx-to-leaf ratio. The Pink Panties and Rainbow Sherbet genetics in Pink Runtz contribute to small, swollen calyces adorned with apricot-colored pistils. The Black Cherry Pie influences the bud structure and creates medium sized chunky buds with tightly spaced, small bulbous calyces.
The initial aroma of Black Cherry Runtz is a tantalizing blend of tart citrus and cherry. The high terpene content is immediately noticeable upon inhale, with sweet floral notes lingering on the palate long after exhaling.
This is another example of how stellar genetics can be combined to produce a potent and visually stunning cultivar. Keep an eye out for this drop in stores and let us know what you think on social media.
