Early in my growing experience, it did not take long to realize the quality of the genetics is going to decide the quality of the outcome. After spending thousands of dollars on seeds, it was obvious that by far the vast majority of the seeds out there are mediocre at best. After investing years of building relationships with some very talented breeders and growers, we have obtained some of the best genetics in existence. Our mission is simple: to provide the best genetics in seed form to those that know the value of world-class genetics.Our decision to carry a strain depends on whether we believe that strain to be a definite “keeper”. By working with large medical marijuana growers, we have had the opportunity to compare countless strains side by side in the same environment to find that top 1% that people search so hard for.Our breeding strategy is three-fold:To preserve and provide the best representation of classic strains in seed form. Over the years, it is becoming more difficult to find strains such as the original Sour Diesel, Cinderella 99 or UK Cheese that are identical to the original clone-only version. Too many seed companies don’t backcross the original enough to get regular seeds identical to the original and instead provide a watered-down version. The original cuttings are becoming increasingly scarce as years go by and eventually, these treasures could be lost. While some companies do provide some feminized seeds from self pollinated clone only strains, those strains move one more step towards disappearing forever if that company ceases to operate. By backcrossing five generations, a breeder can create regular seeds that are 97% original genetics. If the original male/strain is carefully selected to start the backcrossing and the best phenotypes are chosen from each generation, nothing is lost. If anything, yield, smell/taste and potency can be improved with careful breeding selection.To preserve and provide the best representation of more current exceptional clone-only strains in seed form. Occasionally, anonymous amateur breeders create strains like Cinex, Gorilla Glue or Bruce Banner that are on par with some of the best strains ever created. At one time, Sour Diesel and Blue Dream fit in this category and the world would have never discovered these strains if growers and breeders hadn’t made these genetics available to other growers. These strains can sometimes be recreated if the original genetics are known or backcrossed so that these gems can be made available to the rest of the growing community.To create new strains from elite genetics. Breeding is much more than crossing two strains and calling it a new strain. Only breeding stock that would qualify as a super rockstar by anyone that has grown her is considered. Before starting a breeding project, we determine what our goals are. For example, we may have a very tasty and potent indica that we want to add some sativa to design the perfect effect. After careful consideration and research, we may decide on a strain that we believe would be the perfect potential match to achieve the breeding goals. If we don’t already have the strain we want to work with, we search through our large network of breeders and growers. If we find a version that is exceptional, we begin the breeding and selection process. If we obtain the strain but we don’t feel that the genetics would be considered world-class, we scrap that particular project until one is found. If we believe a cross has exceptional effect, potency, taste, smell and bag appeal, then we release the strain.We realize that patients invest considerable resources to create the best possible medicine. We take pride in our role of providing the best possible genetics possible.

Elev8 Seeds presents here Runtz in a feminised seed format. It is a highly acclaimed marijuana variety in the US, with the original cutting proving very difficult to obtain. It is an S1 cross in order to preserve the genetics and to be able to obtain the best Runtz selections.

Runtz ancestors, Gelato and Zkittlez
On the one hand Gelato, one of the most renowned strains since its creation. It is a variety with a powerful and delicious flavour and incredible properties that has conquered many gardens, both indoors and outdoors. It is also known as Larrybird as in the case of Gelato#33. Among this genetics there are many phenotypes, about 25, being the most popular number #1 Guno, #25 Barry Bonds, #33 Larrybird,#41 Bacio and #45. All phenotypes would amaze any grower who has never enjoyed this elegant, delicious and powerful marijuana plant.

On the other hand there is another ground-breaking genetics everywhere, Zkittlez. It is a cross between Grape Ape x Grapefruit x a third unknown variety, resulting in a plant that allows you to taste a rainbow of many fruity flavours of tropical character, sweet on the palate. Together it offers a concentration effect at a mental level and a relaxing one at a body level.

Elev8 Seeds Runtz cultivation
Runtz cultivation is easy to handle. It is a plant that shows a hybrid vigour with a ramified growth that develops long lateral branches that widen out covering the whole cultivation space. It is adaptable to multiple cultivation techniques such as SCROG, SOG, Topping, etc.

Runtz has a flowering period of about 9 weeks, producing large, compact and resinous buds that emanate a powerful aroma. It is recommended to use anti-odour systems such as carbon filters, Neutralizer or ozonators, so that our cultivation goes unnoticed.

The large compact buds are notable for their thick resin layer, being completely covered with trichomes that provide a whitish appearance. It can offer extremely resinous phenotypes such as White Runtz. It develops medium to large sized leaves with an Indica Sativa hybrid appearance, dark green in colour that in low temperatures can turn purple, further increasing the plant's attractiveness.

In outdoor cultivation it can develop into a large plant, offering high yields of more than 700g per plant provided that it is cultivated in optimal conditions. It is ready to harvest in the northern hemisphere during October.

Runtz flavour is probably the main factor impacting on the market. Like a fruity jellybean bag aroma with a soft and dense smoke that conveys the flavour to the palate to the customers delight.

Runtz produces a long-lasting, euphoric, joyful, fun and affable effect on the brain and more relaxing on the body, making it ideal for chatting and socialising.
