Austin Chill – Runtz – THCA Flower (29.86% THCA)

Runtz

Type: Sativa-dominant

Cannabinoid Content:

• Total THCa: 29.86%

• Delta-9 THC (pre-decarboxylation): <0.3% (hemp compliant)

• Potential THC (post-decarboxylation): ~26.2%

Genetic Lineage

• Zkittlez (Grape Ape x Grapefruit)

• Gelato #33 (Thin Mint GSC x Sunset Sherbet)
  This Sativa-dominant phenotype leans more heavily into the Zkittlez side, delivering a brighter, fruitier profile with more cerebral, energetic characteristics in contrast to the heavier, indica-leaning Gelato influence.

Morphology & Resin Production

• Bud Structure: Airier than classic Runtz, with slightly longer internodal spacing—typical of sativa-dominant growth patterns

• Trichome Coverage: High-density resin glands with well-formed, bulbous trichome heads—excellent for hash washing or rosin pressing

• Color Profile: Bright lime greens, occasional lavender hues, fiery orange pistils, and a thick, crystalline frost

Aroma & Flavor Profile

Dominant Terpenes:

• Limonene – citrusy, uplifting, mood-elevating

• Linalool – sweet, floral, candy-like essence

• Alpha-Pinene or Terpinolene – contributes to energizing effects and sharpens the aroma profile

• Caryophyllene – adds mild spice and gas undertone

Aroma Description:

• Intensely sweet, tropical, and citrus-forward with undertones of candy gas and cream

• Terpene expression is high, with bright Zkittlez notes layered over the creamy smoothness of Gelato

Flavor:

• Sweet and fruity inhale, often likened to tropical Skittles or Starburst

• Creamy, gassy exhale with a slight peppery finish from Caryophyllene

• Highly palate-coating, with lingering sweetness and a hint of mint or pine

Potency & Use Case

• With nearly 30% THCa, this cut ranks at the upper end of potency for compliant hemp strains

• Post-decarboxylation, the active THC yield is approximately 26.2%, ideal for high-tolerance users or premium extraction

• Suitable for:

  • Daytime usage (non-medical, flavor-forward smoking or vaping)

  • Live rosin production (solventless)

  • Connoisseur-grade flower menus

  • Terp-rich edibles or infused pre-rolls in compliant markets
