Galactic Runtz

Falcon 9 is one of the two parents behind this Galactic Runtz flower, according to both Leafly and AllBud; the other is the strain that supplies the second half of its name.

Leafly’s genetics box shows the same pair, and Leafly files the strain under hybrid. On AllBud the split is 60% indica to 40% sativa, slightly indica dominant, and the strain is aimed at hybrid fans who like an indica lean; AllBud also highlights its flavour and a spacey, floating high. For other crosses with mixed genetics, see our guide to seven hybrids, from old classics to newer names.

Long neon green buds with blue-tinged trichomes

AllBud describes long, pepper-shaped buds in vivid neon green with dark purple tones and thick yellow-orange pistils, under a layer of tiny, milky, blue-tinged trichomes slick with sweet, sticky resin. One Leafly reviewer found the bud crumbles like velvet without leaving sticky fingers, and another called the buds pretty.

Sweet skunk, tea and tangy tangerine

Leafly’s flavour tags are tea, skunk and sweet, and one of its reviewers describes a sweet skunk-and-tea smell with a gassy note and a taste sweeter than the smell; another found the smell and flavour matched, with no odd aftertaste. AllBud describes a sweet and sour citrus lemon-lime flavour with a very strong, tangy tangerine aroma. Leafly’s terpene readings are led by myrcene, with caryophyllene and pinene behind it.

Relaxed, tingly and euphoric reports

On Leafly, reviewers mention feeling relaxed, tingly and euphoric more than anything else, and the site’s gauge reads mostly calming. One called it a creeper with a gentle body high that kept them relaxed but functional, and another praised its versatility for getting into a flow on creative projects or chores. AllBud describes a lifted, happy tone with a settled, slightly hazy mind, followed by tingly relaxation that spreads through the body.

Leafly’s 25% THC and AllBud’s 26% to 27%

Leafly’s strain figure is 25% THC plus 1% CBG, which it marks as higher than average; AllBud gives averages of 26% to 27% THC and 1% CBD. Ratings stand at 4.4 from 38 on Leafly and 4.8 from 31 votes on AllBud.

Health Canada‘s lower-risk guidance for smoking points first-timers toward products at 10% THC or less and a start of one or two puffs, noting that the high may take half an hour to crest. Its lower-risk guidelines also ask people to wait at least 6 hours after cannabis before driving.
