How to grow Apple Runtz Weed
GROWING INFO
During the vegetative stage:
Apple Runtz, being a sativa-dominant strain, grows tall and lanky, with heights ranging between 180cm and 220cm. Its leaves exhibit elongated fingers, a hallmark of its sativa lineage. The foliage is vibrant and denser than your average sativa though. For indoor growers, Apple Runtz can grow quite tall so to manage its height and encourage lateral growth, techniques like Low Stress Training can be used. This will allow you to keep its size under control while optimizing light distribution which will lead to bigger yields.
During the flowering stage
Once your Apple Runtz plant reaches the flowering stage halt any further training and allow the plant to focus on producing bud. By this point you should have plenty of bud sites as the plant begins to fill out and take advantage of the training you have done. You will begin to see the formation of dense, lime-green buds covered in a shimmer of crystalline trichomes. These buds often exhibit hints of purple, giving your bud plenty of bag appeal. Its aroma is becomes very strong during weeks 4-6 of flowering so if you are growing indoors get yourself a decent carbon filter. Once you are in week 7 you should start to monitor the trichomes for a milky white appearance with hints of amber as an indication of optimal harvest time. Remember to do at least 5 days flushing, so factor this into the trichome appearance too (especially if you have used synthetic nutes).
Is the Apple Runtz strain good for beginners?
From a cultivation standpoint, Apple Runtz strain is reasonably easy to grow, making it suitable for novice growers. Its resilience and the fact that it is easy to train using topping, fimming or LST will allow beginners a margin for learning. However, when it comes to consumption, its potent THC content of 20-26% suggests it might be more suited to experienced smokers. Novices should approach with caution and moderate their intake to gauge individual tolerance levels.
What are the main terpenes in Apple Runtz Strain weed?
Apple Runtz’s standout taste and aroma owe much to its dominant terpenes Beta-Caryophyllene, Linalool, and Limonene. The blend of these three creates flavors of apple and gas, finishing with a sweet candy aftertaste.
