Botanical and Scientific Overview:

Genetic Origin: Runtz x Layer Cake is a feminised super-hybrid developed by Barney’s Farm. It represents a complex genealogical tree combining two powerful strains:

Runtz: A cross between Zkittlez (known for its sweet fruity profile and abundance of resin) and Gelato (which brings potency and a balanced effect).

Layer Cake: A complex polyhybrid combination of Wedding Cake, GMO ‘Garlic Cookies’, Cookies Kush and Skunk #1, which delivers high yields, vigorous growth and sky-high THC levels.

Morphology: The plants form massive and very dense Indica-type buds. The main colour of the buds is forest green with attractive amber hues, interspersed with bright orange trichomes. The buds are generously covered in a thick, frosty layer of golden trichomes, giving them a ‘sugary’ and sparkling appearance.

Photoperiod: This is a feminised photoperiod strain that requires a change in light cycle to induce flowering.

Cannabinoid profile: It is characterised by an extremely high THC content of 28%, which delivers a powerful and long-lasting effect. The multifaceted nature of the high is due to a balanced ratio of Indica and Sativa (50/50). CBD levels are generally low.

Terpene profile: The strain possesses a rich and multi-layered terpene profile. “Sweet tropical fruits, herbs, citrus, dense diesel (fuel) notes, as well as spicy and earthy nuances” suggest a potentially high content of limonene (citrus), caryophyllene (spicy, diesel), myrcene (fruity, earthy, herbaceous) and, possibly, other fruity and fuel-like terpenes, creating this complex and unique bouquet.
