Da Funk, sometimes spelled “DaFunk,” combines First Class Funk with White Runtz genetics to create an indica-dominant hybrid that leans 70% indica and 30% sativa. The variety proves particularly effective for nighttime use, delivering a soothing experience throughout its duration.
The effects begin with a gentle cerebral lift that brings mental tranquility, followed by a gradual body relaxation that often results in a sedated, couch-locked state. With THC levels averaging 18-19%, consumers frequently choose Da Funk to address insomnia, chronic pain, depression, ongoing stress, and muscle tension.
Visually, Da Funk produces compact, rounded buds with a rich emerald core color and darker olive-tinted leaves. Orange pistils weave throughout the structure, and the flowers display a generous coating of golden-white trichomes.

Deep Dive
Parent Strain 1: First Class Funk
First Class Funk, a hybrid strain that leans slightly indica at 60%, emerges from crossing GMO with Jet Fuel genetics. True to its name, this variety is renowned for its potent aroma and delivers powerful effects that warrant careful dosing, particularly for those with remaining daily commitments.
The experience begins subtly, taking several minutes to fully manifest before inducing a profound state of consciousness. Users typically report a dreamy, unfocused mental calm paired with an intensely sedative physical effect that significantly limits mobility. This combination frequently culminates in sleep, making timing of use important. With THC levels consistently testing between 29-33%, First Class Funk provides particularly strong relief for experienced consumers managing chronic pain, arthritis, muscle tension, and appetite or nausea issues.
The strain’s terpene profile expresses itself through sharp, peppery notes layered with pungent diesel undertones. Visually, the flowers form thick, rounded structures with a dusty green coloration, accented by yellow-orange pistils and an abundant coating of milky white trichomes.
Parent Strain 2: White Runtz
White Runtz achieves a perfect 50/50 indica-sativa balance through combining Zkittlez and Gelato genetics. This hybrid has earned recognition for both its distinctive flavor profile and enduring effects.
The strain’s terpene expression closely matches its candy-inspired name, delivering sweet-sour fruit notes with subtle citrus undertones. These same characteristics carry through to its aroma, where earthy citrus elements merge with fresh fruit sweetness.
The effects typically manifest first as a gentle tingling sensation that originates in the upper spine and neck before gradually expanding throughout the body, promoting a comprehensive sense of ease. With THC content consistently testing between 23-24%, White Runtz provides effective relief for individuals managing chronic stress, muscle tension, anxiety, and persistent pain conditions.
The flowers develop into substantial, spade-shaped structures with a deep forest green base color and darker undertones. The buds feature elongated reddish-orange pistils and display a generous layer of crystalline white trichomes.

Da Funk’s flavor profile presents earthy and floral on the inhale, transitioning to subtle fruit and menthol undertones on the exhale.
