Compound Z
Compound Z
Also known as: Compound Z Strain
Overview
Compound Z is a highly sought-after hybrid strain created by Compound Genetics through the crossbreeding of White Runtz and Apples & Bananas. This balanced hybrid is often described as a 50/50 indica/sativa split, though some sources classify it as mostly indica. The strain was bred by Compound Genetics and cultivated by Cream of the Crop Gardens, representing the pinnacle of cannabis breeding with a commitment to innovation, quality, and potency.
Compound Z exhibits dense and rigid buds that inherit characteristics from its Cookies lineage, with a surface resembling a purple canvas like Purple Punch and Gelato. Patches of muted orange pistils appear in small clusters, buried beneath a massive frosting of resinous trichomes that give the buds a crystal-like appearance. The strain's fragrance and flavor are notably intense, with piercing notes of citrus followed by less abrasive tones of sweet berries and earth. When ground up, the strain erupts with an unassuming cloud of fuel likely inherited from its NYC Diesel relative, while the flavor carries more influence from its Runtz lineage, adding sweet, candy-like tartness.

Growing Information
Compound Z can be cultivated both indoors and outdoors with a flowering time of approximately 63 days (60-65 days). Cultivation is moderately challenging, making it well-suited for those with some growing experience. Plants typically grow to a manageable height of 3-4 feet both indoors and outdoors. Indoor yields can reach 400 grams per square meter, while outdoor cultivation can produce up to 550 grams per plant. The strain requires a stable environment with consistent lighting, temperature, and humidity levels for optimal results. Outdoor growers benefit from its resilience to cooler temperatures, allowing for a late September to early October harvest window. Only feminized seeds are available, which simplifies the growing process.
