Auto Zkittlez
Also known as: Zkittlez Auto, Z Auto, Zkittlez Autoflower
Overview
Auto Zkittlez is an autoflowering cannabis strain created by hybridizing the famous Zkittlez strain with ruderalis genetics. Zkittlez itself was originally developed by 3rd Gen Family and Terp Hogz in Northern California during the early 2010s and won first place at the 2016 Emerald Cup, establishing its reputation as a significant strain in modern cannabis culture. Fast Buds created their Auto Zkittlez version by crossing their signature autoflowering genetics with their Grapefruit autoflower and a Zkittlez backcross Z3, while other breeders have developed versions using genetics from Grape Ape and Grapefruit crossed with ruderalis.
Auto Zkittlez is an indica-dominant hybrid with a 60% indica and 40% sativa split. THC levels typically range from 16-25%, with most sources citing around 23% THC. The flowers feature dense, light green, rounded buds with continuous reddish-orange hairs, producing an intense terpene profile that creates a deliciously pleasant blend of sweet citrus fruits and tropical candy flavors. The strain completes its lifecycle in 65-70 days from germination and can yield 450-550 grams per square meter indoors and up to 150 grams per plant outdoors.

Growing Information
Auto Zkittlez is easy to grow and suitable for beginners. Plants complete their lifecycle in 65-70 days from germination with a flowering period of 8-10 weeks. Indoor plants reach 70-100cm in height while outdoor plants can grow 100-150cm. Expected yields are 450-550 grams per square meter indoors and up to 150 grams per plant outdoors. Indoor cultivation requires plenty of fresh air and cooler temperatures around 20-24°C. The strain is nutrient-hungry and responds well to high-quality nutrients. Impressive resin production requires carbon filtration for indoor grows due to the strong aroma. Plants respond well to LST (Low Stress Training) and other light training methods.
