Royal Queen Seeds' breeders crossed the original Royal Runtz with a prime ruderalis specimen to create a strain with a rapid lifecycle and marvellous flavours. With a bit of training, you can cultivate this variety almost anywhere, from small cupboards to the most concealed corners of your garden—she'll serve up a canopy full of buds in a matter of weeks.
Everyone has a strain or two that they hold close to their heart. These varieties tick all of the boxes—they produce good harvests, offer pleasant effects, and taste amazing. After growing Royal Runtz Automatic, many cultivators quickly add this strain to their favourites. This impressive all-rounder will likely win you over too.
To create Royal Runtz Automatic, our breeders simply crossed the photoperiod Royal Runtz with a ruderalis specimen. The original strain soared in popularity following its release; growers couldn’t resist her outlandish THC levels of 27% and flavours of candy. We decided to add some autoflowering genes into the mix for a quicker turnaround and a stealthier growing cycle.
How does Royal Runtz Automatic compare to the original? Granted, her THC levels don’t reach the edge of 30%, however, 19% of the beloved cannabinoid mean she hits pretty hard for an auto. After a bong or a joint loaded with these flowers, expect an uplifting and energising feeling to wash over your body and mind. Flavours of candy and fruit make every toke a yummy treat.
If you want good yields as quickly as possible, Royal Runtz Automatic has you covered. Indoors, she shoots to a height of 70–100cm and churns out 350–450g/m². Apply a bit of training, and you can grow her in concealed cupboards and closets. Outdoors, she grows to slightly taller heights of 120cm and produces rewarding yields of 70–100g per plant. After placing seeds in the soil, you’ll only have to wait 10–11 weeks before harvesting buds.

Strain FAQ
What makes average yielding strains' terpene profiles unique?
There is nothing particular that binds their terpene profiles together as their genetics are very varied and all cannabis plants have many terpenes. It is the combination of these terpenes which gives cannabis its smell and taste. The combination can result in a range from earthy and piney to fruity and sweet.
How has Zkittlez influenced strain development?
The genetic lineage of Zkittlez has produced OG, Watermelon, and Rainbow Zkittlez, each with their own flavour and effects. Zkittlez's ability to inspire varied crossbreeds shows its popularity and worth.
What effects can be expected from balanced hybrids?
Balanced hybrids are said to combine the brain high of Sativas with the bodily chill of Indicas, making them cannabis chameleons. This duality is said to make them suitable for boosting creativity or relaxing after a hard day.
Why is legal indoor year-round production practiced?
This is simply because indoor legal grow chambers allow cannabis growing year-round. This freedom from seasonality allows legal growers to produce fresh cannabis year-round and harvest many times, which is obviously much more difficult under the open sky.
Why are auto-flowering strains recommended for beginners?
Auto-flowering strains are reportedly preferred by novices since they age without light cycle modifications and naturally flower. This is said to make them easier to develop under different conditions. Their shorter development cycle makes everything much quicker and avoids the waiting period with 12/12 strains.
