RuntzOpen strain profileRuntz is reported as a cross of The Original Z, also known as Zkittlez, and Gelato. This connects it to both the Z and Cookies-related families; the original profile is kept distinct from other Runtz-named selections.

Parent links describe a reported cross. Ancestry components may be several generations back. A phenotype selection comes from a named line rather than a new two-parent cross. Disputed links retain the uncertainty of their source.
Names in this catalog open a strain profile. Other names open the reference describing the relationship. The family view shows the links currently documented here, not every known descendant.
Cannabinoid profile
Leafly catalog summary values, not laboratory results for a specific sample. A displayed 0% is a rounded source value, not proof of absence. Unlisted cannabinoids remain unknown.
Leafly source ↗ · Checked 2026-09-16Concentrations vary by sample. A cultivar name alone does not establish potency.
Terpenes & aroma
Catalog-listed terpenes. Dominance is shown only where the source states it; percentages are unavailable unless separately recorded.
Similar strains
Similarity uses catalog reference chemistry, reported attributes and lineage. Missing data is excluded; this is not an effects prediction.
Super Skunk is reported as a cross between Skunk #1 and Afghani. Those links connect it to two widely referenced families; the skunk and earthy flavor tags below describe reader observations rather than laboratory measurements.
Reported parentage ↗
Ice Cream Cake is reported as Wedding Cake crossed with Gelato #33. Its pedigree links to the numbered Gelato selection rather than the broader Gelato family record.
Reported parentage ↗
Mazar I Sharif refers to an Afghan regional line in Leafly's account. A regional name can encompass varied material, so this page does not invent a two-parent cross. The source narrative speculates about CBD, whereas its displayed catalog value is rounded to zero; those are not equivalent kinds of evidence.
