Runtz Auto: The Sweet Machine Blueprint
If you want to buy Runtz Auto seeds in Australia, you’re here for candy terps on a stopwatch. Runtz Auto changed what “shortcuts” meant. This is Zkittlez × Gelato meets modern auto breeding, delivering the same dessert-shop aroma and pastel frost, but she clocks out in 9–10 weeks. Perfect for small tents, balconies, or fast turns without compromise.
Matty: “Think of her as Runtz on a stopwatch — sweet, gassy, and out before the frost hits.”
Quick Stats (Speed Meets Sweet)
Feels like a true 50/50 hybrid — cheeky lift up top, velvet settle underneath.
20–26% THC in a steady room. She rewards restraint more than aggression.
9–10 weeks seed to harvest on 20/4. Outdoors in AU, plan ~70–80 days from sowing; you can run multiple cycles from October–April.
Matty: “No downtime, no training drama — just candy on a timer.”
The Lineage: Turbo Candy
Runtz Auto blends the Zkittlez × Gelato base with a selected Ruderalis for timing and structure. Modern work keeps the creamy-sweet terp balance and tight internodes for small, sugar-coated colas.
Matty’s Note: “This isn’t your old-school auto. The terp profile survived the gene—sweet, loud, and worth the jar space.”
Flavour & Aroma
On the nose: fruit sorbet, bubblegum, hint of diesel.
On the tongue: creamy berry on the inhale, soft gas finish.
Aftertaste: sweet glaze with mild pepper.
Likely terp drivers: Limonene · Caryophyllene · Linalool
Matty: “Smells like a lolly shop parking lot — one whiff and you’re 12 again.”
Effects & What to Expect
First wave: euphoric lift, chatty and creative.
Then it settles: relaxed body melt with a cheeky smile.
Vibe: “happy couch,” not couch-lock. Great late-arvo into evening; daytime only if your tolerance is rock-solid.
Matty: “Don’t underestimate autos — this one’ll melt the day clean off your shoulders.”
How I Grow It (Matty’s Way)
Skill level: Beginner → Intermediate — forgiving, still rewards finesse.
- Light: 20/4 schedule, seed to finish. It’s non-negotiable for maximum yield.
- Training: LST and tie-downs only; no topping after Day 18–20.
- Defoliation: Two light passes (Day ~21 and ~42).
- Pot Science: 11–18 L fabric; airy mix (40% high-quality soil / 40% coco / 20% perlite) prevents overwatering.
- Finish: Harvest at 10–15% amber for the creamiest candy note.
Feeding & Climate: Start light, go moderate from Week 3. Ease N hard by Week 5. Day 25–26 °C / Night 19–21 °C; Flower RH 45–50%.
Matty: “You can’t rush candy — even autos need a proper cure.”
RED FLAG #1 — The Single-Pot Rule: Autos run on a timer. Do NOT transplant late — start in the final pot.
RED FLAG #2 — Overwatering Seedlings: Auto stalls are almost always soggy starts. Water only a small circle near the plant and gradually expand; roots need to hunt for moisture.
Grow Log (📅 Turbo Cycle)
| Phase / Week | Key Action | Targets (PPFD · EC · RH · Notes) |
|---|---|---|
| Wk 1–2: Seedling | 20/4 light, gentle ring watering | PPFD 200–300 · EC 0.6–0.8 · RH 65–70% · Warm root zone (22–24 °C). “Don’t drown her.” |
| Wk 3–4: Pre-Flower | LST starts, spread the canopy | PPFD 400–550 · EC 1.0–1.2 · RH 55–60% · Last chance for structural ties; no hard pruning after Day ~20. |
| Wk 5–6: Early Bloom | Ease N, boost P/K; light defol | PPFD 600–700 · EC 1.2–1.4 · RH 48–50% · Start 10–15% runoff; add Ca/Mg if running RO or strong LED. |
| Wk 7–8: Bulk & Colour | Raise light, cool nights by 2 °C | PPFD 700–750 · EC 1.3–1.6 · RH 42–45% · Gentle leaf thinning only; protect terps with night temps 18–20 °C. |
| Wk 9–10: Finish & Flush | Flush; 10-day dry @ 18–20 °C / 58–62% RH | PPFD 500–600 · EC ↓ to 1.0 → 0.2 · RH ≤ 42% late · Chop at 10–15% amber. “Milky = sweet spot.” |
Matty’s Advanced Notes (For the Nerds)
- DLI: ~22–28 in veg; 36–42 in bloom on 20/4. Raise PPFD, keep heat in check.
- Substrate: 40% soil / 40% coco / 20% perlite; fabric pots for fast dry-backs.
- Ca/Mg: LEDs + coco = add 1–2 ml/L CaMg from Week 3–7.
- Irrigation cadence: Aim for 10–20% daily dry-back in bloom; 10–15% runoff prevents salt creep.
- CO₂: Optional; if used, cap ~1,000–1,100 ppm at PPFD ≥ 650.
- pH Window: Hydro/Coco 5.8–6.0 · Soil 6.3–6.8 — drifting outside costs terps fast.
- Pests: Fungus gnats (wet tops) & PM (high RH). Sticky traps + only veg foliar; fans “honest” in flower.
Mythbusting (🚫)
Myth: Autos are weak.
Truth: Not anymore — 25% THC says otherwise.
Myth: You can top her any time.
Truth: One late cut and she sulks to the finish. Day 18–20 is the absolute line — and LST still wins.
Myth: You need to flush autos for 2 weeks like photos.
Truth: No. Flush ~7–10 days while tapering EC (don’t starve her past the clock).
Who It’s For?
Perfect If You:
- Want the candy-gas experience in under 10 weeks.
- Need stealth, balcony, or micro-grow efficiency.
- Value bag appeal and clean flavour over raw bulk.
Maybe Not For You If You:
- Constantly tinker with schedules or lighting mid-run.
- Expect photoperiod yields in a 10-week window.
- Forget pH/RH once she starts smelling sweet.
Matty’s Story
“My first Runtz Auto lived in the side tent — a ‘let’s see’ project. By week six she out-frosted the main room: bubblegum diesel and sugar-rolled buds. That’s when autos stopped being ‘training wheels’ and became tools.”
Final Verdict (🏆 Matty’s Final Word)
Runtz Auto proves fast can still be fancy: same candy-gas lineage, less drama, finish time that’ll make your mates jealous.
Matty: “If Gelato’s the showroom and Runtz is the collector’s piece — this one’s the turbo you actually drive.” 🍻
