How to Grow Runtz Cannabis Seeds or Cuttings

Fill with good organic soil, perhaps with a little extra nitrogen or your nutrient mix of choice. You can use high discharge lamps to make sure your plants get the light they need. Many growers induce flowering using a schedule of 12 hours light, 12 hours dark. You can train your plants to grow smaller and quicker and get year-round harvests which amount to more bud than larger plants which take longer to mature, by using a sea of green method. Indoors, your usual grow period will be seven to nine weeks and yield about 16 ounces per square meter.
Outside, set up in a warm Mediterranean type of climate. The plant will try to grow vertically so some pruning and topping may be preferred. Expect to get 18 ounces per plant.
Medicinal Marijuana Review
Runtz is 50 percent Indica and 50 percent Sativa. THC levels can be as high as 29 %. Researchers have been looking into the possibility that cannabis could offer an avenue for treating coronavirus.
Researchers at the University of Lethbridge developed 13 strains of cannabis, high in CBD which could modulate the levels of ACE2 receptors which COVID-19 uses to gain entry into the cell and become infectious.[1] This is expected to have the effect of making the virus less capable of infecting the cell. Marijuana also has anti-inflammatory properties which could help in cases of cytokine storm, a severe immune reaction to COVID-19 which can lead to fatal outcomes. It’s not clear if they plan to use these strains in an edible, vape, or smoked form to test for a protective effect against COVID-19.
The usual Runtz strain may not have high CBD levels. A strain like Cannatonic and Harlequin are high CBD types which may be similar to the type used in the aforementioned study. Other research has found that smoking one joint per day leads to no decrease in lung function nor any noticeable increase in lung cancer risk.
