Pink Banana Runtz is an indica-dominant USA hybrid cross from the ‘Antonio, by Dutch Passion’ collection. This limited edition indica cannabis strain was created by crossing Banana Z (from TerpHogz, the original breeder of the 'Z' genetics) with Gelato #33.
Antonio's goal with this new Runtz cross was to develop Runtz genetics with larger flowers and a higher yield than traditional Runtz varieties on the market (which often have smaller buds). This new cultivar therefore produces relatively large buds, especially the main colas, which can reach large proportions when grown under a good quality LED light.
In terms of bud structure, they generally have a more hybrid bud structure with dense buds that are not fluffy at all, but neither are they super compact. This makes them suitable for growing in a wide range of conditions, with slightly better resistance to higher humidity.
Very suitable for beginners. They can even be grown in a greenhouse or outdoors, preferably in warmer/drier regions. This is a cannabis variety that truly shines in a controlled indoor grow with powerful (LED) lights and good (preferably organic) nutrients. The flowering time averages between 8-9 weeks, with an XL yield.
This makes the high from this strain very strong and long-lasting, making her ideal for experienced users. It's a hybrid high with both physical and mental effects, slightly euphoric and uplifting, yet also deeply relaxing. In short, a delicious smoke!
For best results, grow her at an average temperature of 20-27º C (68-81F) with an RH of between 50-65% (max. 50% in mid and late flowering). Several phenotypes can develop beautiful pink and light purple hues on the larger leaves and in the sugar leaves towards the end of flowering. This creates a truly unique appearance and lives up to its name.
