I love that there’s a strain of marijuana for every kind of place, time, and circumstance. Some stains are best left for late evening, and some you can smoke all day long.
Gruntz falls more in the latter category, though after a couple of hours of energetic, buzzing euphoria, you’ll start to get that couch-locking feeling.
This strain is pretty powerful and potent, but it’ll definitely give you a spur of productivity to get those boring jobs you’ve been putting off done.
And let’s face it, with busy schedules, housework, and all other hosts of adult responsibilities, there are always boring and tedious tasks just looming over our heads. Gruntz is the perfect strain to give us that much-needed nudge to complete them.
And then once you’ve ticked off those tasks and the evening draws closer, you’ll be left with a high that has you ready to settle down, nice and comfy, and stay put for a while.
If this sounds appealing to you, and why wouldn’t it, you’ll want to keep reading to learn more about this wonderful strain.
What Is The Gruntz Strain?
Gruntz will give you a very powerful and intense high, that’s for sure. And considering its 25-32% THC content levels that’ll probably come as no surprise.
It’ll give you a long and enjoyable high that’ll last all night. It has relatively low CBD levels at just 2% but you’ll still be sure to reap its relaxing benefits.
It comes as no shock that Gruntz has such a strong and potent profile when you take a look at its parent strains. This strain has lineage from some of the best strains around; Zkittlez and Gelato.
Zkittlez is known for its award-winning fruity taste of both grapes and other berries. Gelato is one of the most in-demand strains on the market which is well renowned for being the perfect indica-based relaxant.
And if you enjoy either of these strains, well you’ll adore Gruntz as the apple doesn’t fall far from the tree.
Gruntz has inherited that popular fruity flavor and unmatched calming and relaxing properties from its parents to make it an all-around top-shelf strain.
Appearance, Aroma, & Flavor
This plant is honestly spectacular. Grow it and you’ll be welcomed with a sea of green leaves that consume your garden. The buds themselves hang like the fresh fruit (grapes) they taste of.
The buds are elongated in size and have a beautiful deep green hue. You’ll also notice small bright orange hairs twisting around the bud which is also drenched in snowy, crystal, sparkling trichomes.
They really are a wonder to behold. One touch of the bud and you’ll also have an appreciation for the dangerously sticky resin that coats it.
As I mentioned earlier, Gruntz inherited many of the delightful properties of its parent strain and has a wonderfully fruity and sweet taste and scent.
A quick initial whiff of the bud and you’ll feel like a kid in a candy store when that sugary aroma overpowers your nostrils.
On inhale, you’ll notice a delightful fruity taste and flavor that is reminiscent of cotton candy. It is absolutely delicious. There are a few undertones of diesel, skunk, and citrus too though these are much more muted.
You may also notice a kind of tingling sensation as you toke that is similar to that of when you suck on a sour candy. All in all, it’s a sugar overload experience that is very, very, enjoyable.
What’s The High Like?
Despite being 70% indica-dominant, you should still have a good few hours of productivity in you when you first start smoking this strain. You’ll have an instantaneous cerebral burst that skyrockets your mood into a happy and giddy place.
And it’s not only the taste that is sweet. You’ll understand what I mean by that when you start to experience the euphoria of wave after wave of sweet relaxation flooding through your entire body until there is not a morsel of stress or anxiety left within you.
As I said before, you’ll definitely have a couple of hours left in you to still get on with your day and you’ll even find that with your new and improved mood, you have more motivation now than ever before.
However, after a while, this will start to subside and that’s when the body high will start to hit with full force.
What you can expect from your body high is a real state of total relaxation and serene calm that just has you sinking deeper and deeper down into your couch.
This part can cause quite bad cottonmouth though, more so than with many other strains. So you’ll want to ensure that you’ve got plenty of beverages surrounding you before that inability to want to move strikes you hard.
Medicinal Effects
Thanks to its ability to enforce calm, serenity, and focus on the mind, many people enjoy Gruntz for its medicinal properties.
It is particularly popular with those that suffer from manic depression. It can give a real sense of much-needed relief from busy, chaotic, and stressful lives.
Its mood-boosting qualities can also really come in handy for those that deal with constant fatigue and chronic stress. It’s physically impossible to concentrate on these negative thoughts once Gruntz’s high takes effect.
It has also become popular for its ability to increase appetite and calm the body for those that often experience muscle pains and spasms.
Growing Gruntz
I would argue that Gruntz is best grown by those that already have at least a moderate understanding and knowledge of growing marijuana.
It’s not the most difficult plant to grow in the world but to get the best yields you do have to focus extra care and attention to it. It can be somewhat fussy.
You’ll want to research further into the specific soil mixture and nutrient content for Gruntz. And you’ll also want to water it sparingly. It does not like to be overwatered and doing so can massively affect the yield that you’ll receive from the plant.
If you do grow this strain though, you can typically expect it to start flowering after around 8 weeks. If you grow Gruntz outside, you can expect to harvest around 18 ounces per plant.
And you can get quite an impressive yield from an indoor grow also. Once the plant has fully matured, you can expect to harvest around 14 ounces per square meter.
