Key Lime Zkittlez
Also known as: Key Lime Z, Key Lime Zkittlez OG
Key Lime Zkittlez Strain Overview
Key Lime Zkittlez is a modern hybrid cannabis strain developed by crossing the popular Zkittlez strain with a Key Lime Pie phenotype. This strain emerged in the late 2010s as breeders sought to combine the candy-like sweetness of Zkittlez with the distinct citrus notes of Key Lime genetics. The resulting cultivar has gained popularity in both recreational and medical cannabis markets for its balanced effects and complex flavor profile.
The strain typically produces dense, medium-sized buds with a distinctive appearance characterized by bright green coloration accented by vibrant orange pistils and a generous coating of trichomes that gives the flowers a frosty, crystalline appearance. The nugs are often tightly packed with a slightly conical structure, and the leaves may display subtle purple hues when grown under optimal conditions, particularly during cooler nighttime temperatures.
Key Lime Zkittlez is noted for its pronounced terpene profile that combines sweet, fruity aromas with sharp citrus undertones. The strain's name accurately reflects its sensory characteristics, with the Zkittlez lineage contributing candy-like sweetness while the Key Lime genetics provide a distinct lime-forward citrus quality. This combination has made it particularly appealing to users who appreciate complex flavor profiles in cannabis products.

Key Lime Zkittlez Strain Growing Information
Key Lime Zkittlez is considered a moderately difficult strain to cultivate, suitable for growers with some experience. The plant typically flowers in 8-9 weeks indoors and is ready for harvest by early to mid-October outdoors. Indoor yields average 400-500 grams per square meter, while outdoor plants can produce 500-600 grams per plant under optimal conditions. The strain prefers a controlled indoor environment but can also thrive outdoors in Mediterranean-like climates with consistent temperatures. Plants typically reach a medium height of 100-150 cm indoors and 150-200 cm outdoors. Special considerations include maintaining stable humidity levels to prevent mold (particularly during flowering) and providing adequate support for branches during late flowering as buds become dense and heavy. The strain responds well to training techniques like topping and low-stress training to maximize yield.
