History and Genetic
Zkittlez, also known as Skittles, Island Skittles, and Skittlz, is an indica-dominant hybrid bred from a cross of parent plants Grape Ape, Grapefruit, and a third unknown strain. Developed by Dying Breed Seeds, a collective based in California, Zkittlez boasts eye-catching purple hues from high concentrations of anthocyanins.
Its buds are tightly packed, a signature of indica strains, and covered in cloudy white trichomes. The strain is celebrated for its candy-like fruit flavor and sour citrus aroma, inherited from its fruity parent strains, offering uplifting yet relaxing effects.
Zkittlez has earned accolades including first place at the 2015 Cannabis Cup in San Francisco and the 2016 Emerald Cup.
Growing Information
Indoor Growing Tips
Zkittlez can be challenging to grow, with a preference for warm and sunny climates. It requires at least 6 hours of direct sunlight daily and benefits from air circulation and humidity control. Nutrient-rich soil and a pH level between 6.0 and 7.0 are essential for optimal growth. The flowering time is generally between 8-10 weeks, with the plants reaching a short to medium height.
Outdoor Growing Tips
When grown outdoors, Zkittlez thrives in a hot and humid climate, requiring good air circulation to prevent mold and mildew. The strain is resistant to some fungal diseases thanks to its resinous trichomes. The “sea of green” method can be effective for a high yield, with plants growing up to 3 feet indoors. Optimal flowering occurs between eight to ten weeks, potentially producing more resinous trichomes and better flavors. To enhance the purple hues of the buds, expose plants to colder temperatures before flowering begins.
Zkittlez is a rewarding strain for growers seeking sweet-tasting buds with both recreational and medical benefits. Its unique flavor profile, combined with a moderate THC content and a blend of relaxing and uplifting effects, makes it a popular choice among cannabis enthusiasts.
