Universally Seededs Pink Runtz S1 Description
Pink Runtz S1 is very closely related to Runtz, arguably the world's biggest candy cannabis strain. Bred by an ex-US marine, Pink Runtz has become increasingly popular among both recreational and medical users who enjoy its dank fruit aromas and well-balanced, yet strong effects.
Strain History
Pink Runtz S1 was bred by Universally Seeded. For a long time, it was a clone-only strain. Today, however, it is available in seed form from Universally Seedes and other seedbanks as well.
Universally Seeded is a seed bank and cannabis genetics brand headed by a grower, cannabis lover, and ex-Marine known only as Tommy. Starting his career in cannabis in 2009 after leaving the Marine Corps, Tommy started working as a grower in Santa Cruz, where he quickly developed a passion not only for growing cannabis but specifically for breeding new strains with exotic terpene profiles.
In 2010, Tommy began breeding his own cannabis strains with a primary focus on developing new terpene profiles while simultaneously preserving stability and yields. He also grows outdoors and claims to put emphasis on sustainability and organic nutrition, which help his strains take on even more peculiar aromas and flavours.
Over the last 13 years, Tommy and his team at Universally Seeded have created an ever-growing catalogue of strains, including:
• Cement Shoes S1
• Pink Cereal Puffs
• Arab Angel
• Legendary Blue Cookies
Genetic Lineage
Pink Runtz S1 is arguably one of Universally Seeded's most famous creations. According to the brand's website, it is a unique backcross of different Pink Runtz phenotypes which resulted in this peculiar, yet extremely popular, variety.
Tommy's Pink Runtz is, like the original Runtz strain, a cross of Gelato and Zkittlez, which is known for being a super fruity hybrid with creamy smoke and a long-lasting, uplifting euphoria. Pink Runtz is a unique phenotype of this cross that preserves that same great fruity flavour and uplifting effects, though with unique physical traits, including subtle pinkish-purple hues. Its effects are still very uplifting (reminiscent of the original Runtz), though with a subtle, warm physical side that produces a lovely sense of relaxation and calm.
Physical Characteristics
Universally Seeded is one of the few seedbanks to have created extensive photo libraries of its strains, providing a lot of insight into each plant and its characteristics.
Based on the photo documentation of Pink Runtz S1, we can see that this is a medium-statured plant with some clear indica-like traits. Pink Runtz S1 develops dark green, broad leaves that can look almost black by the end of flowering. Its nodes are moderately spaced, and it can develop plenty of branches, especially when trained effectively. Pink Runtz S1 seems to stretch considerably upon entering bloom and develops dense, indica-like nuggets with thick calyxes, orange-yellow pistils, and a crystalline coating of resin. Well-grown plants can develop long and dense colas, supported with smaller flowers lower down.
Properties/Effects
Pink Runtz S1 is a very potent strain boasting up to, and sometimes over, 26% THC. It produces little to no CBD and other secondary cannabinoids, resulting in a strong and very intoxicating high that's enhanced by the terpenes limonene, caryophyllene, and myrcene (which obviously contribute to the strain's sweet candy aroma). The effects of Pink Runtz S1 typically settle in almost immediately—you may notice a strong cerebral rush coupled with a warming, relaxing physical buzz that, together, make for a relaxed, uplifted, and social high. Many users point out that Pink Runtz S1's effects perfectly walk the line between relaxation and euphoria, making for a very balanced smoke.
Because of its potency, Pink Runtz S1 should be taken with caution, especially by inexperienced smokers or those with a low tolerance for THC. Like other highly potent THC cannabis strains, Pink Runtz S1 can produce negative side effects such as:
• Headaches
• Paranoia and anxiety
• Dizziness
Uses
Pink Runtz S1 is a highly sought-after strain by both recreational users and medical cannabis patients. Recreational users report using this strain at all times of the day: some use it in the morning and report a pleasant, uplifting head high coupled with some mild physical relaxation (but not couch lock), ideal for working on a computer, going for a walk, or simply relaxing without getting either too anxious or too sleepy. Some recreational users also report that Pink Runtz S1 promotes creative thinking and conversation, making for a great social smoke to pass around with friends. Others enjoy Pink Runtz S1 in the evenings while watching TV or immersing themselves in their favorite music. Finally, many couples also report that Pink Runtz S1 makes for a great, natural aphrodisiac.
Medical cannabis patients, on the other hand, report using Pink Runtz S1 for a wide variety of conditions. The strain's uplifting cerebral effects are said to relieve symptoms of anxiety, depression, and stress. Meanwhile, its mild physical effects may also help patients deal with mild pain, cramps, and even inflammation. In higher doses, Pink Runtz S1 might produce a more sleepy effect which some patients may find relaxing enough to promote a long, restorative night's rest.
Cultivation/Production
Pink Runtz S1 is a heavy-yielding strain that is well suited to indoor production. Photos from Universally Seeded show that this strain stays nice and compact, yet develops many strong branches loaded with bud sites.
Universally Seeded provides no specific grow information for this strain. However, some of its subsidiaries and vendors claim that Pink Runtz S1 is a moderate-difficult strain to cultivate that produces up to 400g/m² in optimal conditions. Apparently, she takes roughly 8–10 weeks to reach maturity, at which point her many branches will be loaded with fat, sticky flowers, and almost pitch-black flowers.
