JELLY DONUTZ

About JELLY DONUTZ

Bred by Humboldt Seed Company (HSC), Jelly Donutz is a sativa-dominant hybrid (40% indica, 60% sativa) that was born from crossing Jelly Donutz (#160x#17), Hella Jelly, and White Runtz. Just in reading that, you can probably smell and taste the thought of Jelly Donutz. That’s because its genetics scream fruit, dessert, and Gelato descendance.

Hella Jelly (formerly called Jelly Rancher) is a sativa-dominant hybrid cannabis strain with an average THC content between 26% and 30%. It was created by crossing Hella Jelly BX3, Notorious T.H.C., and Very Cherry.

White Runtz is a phenotype of Runtz, which comes from crossing Gelato with Zkittlez. It has a fruity flavor profile, thanks to its Gelato and Zkittlez lineage, but also comes through with floral, creamy, and diesel notes on the exhale.

Runtz and White Runtz are both strains that have been faked, forged, and scammed thousands of times, due to their popularity. Companies know how in-demand the strains are so they will take a plant that is NOT Runtz, and still package and market that strain as such. Fortunately, with HSC, you’ll never have to worry about that. If they say a strain is Runtz, or is crossed with Runtz, you can bet your bottom dollar that it’s the truth. Made from a cut of Runtz that Humboldt Seed Company obtained at the famous Emerald Cup, Jelly Donutz is a perfect example of that.

Jelly Donutz’ purple and green flowers are absolutely coated in trichomes, which makes it a great strain to wash for concentrates. Its THC content has tested as high as 35%. Tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) is the active compound in cannabis that turns you from sober to “high.”

HSC’s Jelly Donutz is the result of three years of pheno-hunting that started back in Fall 2020. The initial pheno-hunting began in Fall 2020, followed by a backcross of the strain in Winter 2020. After that, two large scale pheno-hunts took place at Casa Flor and HSC in 2021, followed by stabilization and production. The result is the perfected version of Jelly Donutz that now exists today.

A piece about this strain from Growing Marijuana Perfectly detailing Jelly Donutz’ origin story states “Massive pheno hunt efforts were put into the selection of Jelly Donutz. Hunting of the S1’s and #2 and #13 sibling crosses took place at four Emerald Triangle farms: Casa Flor, THC of Humboldt, Fire Mountain, Humboldt Seed Co., and The Bud Farm in Nevada County. Alex of Casa Flor suggested the name Jelly Donutz and we loved it! Only 2 individual cultivars were selected from a population of 840, both tested high in terpenes and over 34% THC at SC Labs.”
