What terpenes are in Guava Runtz?
Our Guava Runtz 2026 (Live) batch is led by myrcene, with alpha pinene and terpinolene behind it. Myrcene gives the ripe fruit base, pinene a fresh edge, and terpinolene a bright, slightly floral lift.
Every batch is a little different. Phenotype, growing conditions, harvest timing and whether the flower is live or cured all shift the ratios.
