Preface It takes me roughly two months to write a smoke review. Instead of counting the time, I count the experiences shared with close friends and others. Those experiences are captured in the smoke review—what can never be fully captured are the feelings. :-) I do not sell, distribute, or do anything with my product besides using it for personal consumption and diaries. The reviews are non-biased and based on input from several people. The Strain Runtz Automatic from Zamnesia is an autoflowering cannabis strain resulting from a cross between Gelato and Zkittlez. It offers a balanced hybrid profile with approximately 50% indica and 50% sativa genetics. Evenings are when I reach for this strain—settling into my dimly lit office, old-school hip hop echoing from the speakers, thick smoke curling through the air as I tap out thoughts for GrowDiaries. I stretch my legs, resting my feet on the subwoofer, letting the bass ripple through me like a second heartbeat. My mind floats somewhere between the beat and the high, while my body melts into the chair, claiming every contour as its own. At some point, I crack the window and reality seeps in—the distant buzz of life below reminds me I'm in a world of my own design. I shut it again; it's too cold out there, too fast. In here, I move to my rhythm. Damn... this strain hits hard. One more puff, and I’m gone again. Growing It Space is tight, so I play a game of musical chairs with my plants—shifting them from room to room, always negotiating with the layout (and my very patient girlfriend, who tolerates the ever-present scent of weed with saint-like grace). When Zamnesia said Runtz Automatic was truly automatic, they weren’t kidding. She popped on January 1st, 2025, and wrapped up just three months later. Four weeks of veg, nine of flowering—though she could’ve been chopped at week eight. I gave her an extra week to fatten up, and it paid off. She turned into a dense, sticky bush that makes rolling joints a messy, resin-covered ritual requiring serious scrubbing to get my hands clean. She was hungry from the start—devoured nutrients like royalty. By week three of flowering, she was on Plagron Power Buds straight through to the end. The main cola weighed in at 49 grams wet—no complaints there. Smell Runtz Automatic fills the room with a sweet, candy-like aroma layered with bright citrus and soft herbal notes. There’s an earthy foundation beneath it all, but the dominant impression is fruity and playful—like opening a bag of tropical candy in the forest. Smoking It I’ve smoked a few joints now—each one smooth and easy on the throat. The high sneaks in after about five minutes, starting with a clear, mood-lifting buzz that lasts around twenty minutes before tapering into a mellow, body-easing calm. Conversation flows effortlessly, almost too easily. For some, that might be a plus—for me, it just means I end up raiding the fridge like I’ve been fasting for days. This strain unlocks my inner snack demon, no matter how much I’ve already eaten.
