Unlock the extraordinary: The strains

This month, we've unearthed several unique strains that will undoubtedly captivate your senses. So, get ready to embark on a journey of cannabis excellence as we showcase our selection of rare and precious strains.

Black Runtz

Black Runtz

Black Runtz is a hybrid strain created by crossing three modern classics from the USA: Zkittlez, Gelato, and Runtz. This indica-dominant specimen is teeming with luscious terpenes that evoke the finest grape and berry notes. Black Runtz is also famously easygoing and flowers in just 8 short weeks. Keeping relatively low to the ground, this strain is ideal for indoor cultivation, but its height can also be managed further by applying some LST. Once ready, attentive indoor growers will receive around 500 g/m².

If you want to cultivate Black Runtz outdoors, you'll be pleased to learn it's an effortless feat. But you'll have to give this plant a little more room, as it can reach up to 2 m. Come late September, you'll be met with around 650 g/plant. With around 24% THC up for grabs, Black Runtz offers a physically relaxing but clear-headed high that’s perfect for enjoying after a long day. As mentioned, this is a strain bursting with berry and grape flavours, so regardless of your consumption method, you'll be enjoying some divine sweet and sour notes every time you reach for Black Runtz.

White Rhino

Another rare gem charging in to stampede your senses is White Rhino. As the offspring of White Widow and Maple Leaf Indica, this strain has a whole lot to offer casual cannabis fans and experts alike.

Ready to harvest after 9–11 weeks of flowering, White Rhino is an easy-to-manage cultivar that's well suited to pretty much every environment. It stays reasonably compact and is unlikely to tower above 140 cm. However, if size is an issue, you can tame this beast with some LST. Once ready, indoor growers will see a return in the region of 500 g/m². Outside, White Rhino will grow a little taller, peaking at 180 cm, and has the potential to yield a staggering 1,000g/plant when ready to harvest in October. In terms of flavour, White Rhino is teeming with skunky notes paired with a bit of sweetness for good measure. Meanwhile, its effects are sure to trample any tension as they effortlessly soothe and provide a pleasant body buzz.

With this abundance of buds come rich fruity-sweet flavours and great effects. With potency in the region of 25% THC, users can expect a heavy sensation to set in after just a couple of tokes.

Purple Urkle

Purple Urkle

Purple Urkle is an indica-dominant strain born from a Mendocino Purps phenotype that delivers some amazing flavours and effects alongside vigorous growth. Purple Urkle is adaptable, accessible, and easy to cultivate in a wide range of environments. Reaching 120 cm, this strain stays pretty low to the ground when grown indoors. Outdoor specimens grow slightly taller, clocking in at around 160 cm. However, if you're looking to keep height more under control, LST and other training methods will keep things in check throughout the growing cycle.

After 7–9 weeks of flowering, Purple Urkle will reward growers with a return of about 400 g/m² inside and up to 700 g/plant outside. The buds produced by this plant boast some fantastic flavours and aromas. No matter your method of consumption, Purple Urkle offers rich and fruity flavours that lean heavily towards grape, berry, and plums. The effects are just as enjoyable, with soothing and uplifting sensations quickly taking hold after smoking or vaping.
