Genetics: Galaxy x Runtz
This Gold Line cross unites two very different but complementary genetics:
- Galaxy — Afghani × Northern Lights, the most productive indica in the Pyramid Seeds catalogue. 70% indica, 550 g/m² standard yield, 55-day flowering, a signature mint-earthy-sweet aroma. Known for vigorous fast growth and dense, crystal-coated buds.
- Runtz — Gelato × Zkittlez, one of the most-searched American Cali strains. Famous for its unmistakable sweet candy-berry aroma, creamy fruitiness and balanced euphoria-relaxation effect.
The result: a 65% indica-dominant Gold Line hybrid with 27% THC — Galaxy's exceptional productivity and earthy-mint character combined with Runtz's exotic dessert sweetness. The highest standard yield in the Gold Line Runtz collection: 550 g/m². You'll also see it written as Galaxy Runtz or Galaxy Runts — same Gold Line strain.

- Brain-stimulating — mental activation, focus and concentration in the first phase
- Deep, functional relaxation — Galaxy's indica heritage brings body relaxation without heavy couch-lock
- Long-lasting — 27% THC delivers an intense, long-running experience
- Day and night — active and creative at moderate doses, relaxing and sedating at higher ones
