Lime Zkittlez
Also known as: Lime Skittlez, Lime Skittles
Lime Zkittlez Strain Overview
Lime Zkittlez is a hybrid cannabis strain that represents a distinct phenotype of the popular Zkittlez strain, specifically selected for its pronounced lime characteristics. This cultivar was developed by crossing the original Zkittlez (itself a hybrid of Grape Ape and Grapefruit) with a lime-forward phenotype, though the exact genetic contribution remains proprietary information held by breeders. The strain emerged in the mid-2010s as part of the broader Zkittlez family expansion, gaining recognition for its unique terpene profile that distinguishes it from other Zkittlez phenotypes.
Visually, Lime Zkittlez plants produce dense, conical buds with a structure typical of indica-dominant hybrids. The flowers display a vibrant green coloration with occasional purple hues that emerge under cooler temperatures, complemented by a generous coating of trichomes that gives the buds a frosty appearance. Orange pistils weave through the dense flower structure, creating a striking visual contrast. The buds are notably resinous, making them suitable for extraction purposes.
What truly distinguishes Lime Zkittlez is its aromatic profile, which features a dominant lime scent accompanied by secondary notes of tropical fruit and earthiness. This terpene expression results from careful phenotypic selection within the Zkittlez genetic family. The strain's effects typically begin with cerebral stimulation before transitioning to full-body relaxation, creating a balanced experience that has contributed to its popularity among both recreational and medicinal users.

Lime Zkittlez Strain Growing Information
Lime Zkittlez is considered a moderately difficult strain to cultivate, requiring some experience for optimal results. The plants have a flowering time of approximately 8-9 weeks when grown indoors, with outdoor harvests typically ready in late September to early October. Indoor growers can expect yields of 400-500 grams per square meter, while outdoor plants may produce 500-600 grams per plant under ideal conditions.
The plants exhibit a bushy structure with indica-dominant growth patterns, typically reaching heights of 100-150 cm indoors and 150-200 cm outdoors. Lime Zkittlez thrives in both indoor and outdoor environments but prefers a Mediterranean-like climate with consistent temperatures. Growers should maintain moderate humidity levels (40-50% during flowering) and provide good air circulation to prevent mold, as the dense buds can be susceptible to moisture-related issues. The plants respond well to training techniques like topping and low-stress training (LST) to maximize light exposure and yield.
