Outlier Z
Outlier Z Strain Overview
Outlier Z is a relatively new cannabis strain that emerged in the late 2010s, developed by crossing two popular modern cultivars: Zkittlez and an undisclosed OG Kush phenotype. The strain represents a deliberate breeding effort to combine the candy-like terpene profile of Zkittlez with the potent, balanced effects of OG genetics. While specific breeding details remain proprietary, Outlier Z has gained recognition in both medical and recreational cannabis markets for its distinctive flavor profile and reliable effects.
Visually, Outlier Z typically displays dense, resinous buds with a structure that leans slightly toward its indica heritage. The flowers often exhibit deep purple hues intermingled with vibrant orange pistils and a generous coating of milky trichomes. The strain's name reflects its deviation from typical Zkittlez expressions, offering a more complex terpene profile and enhanced potency while maintaining the appealing sweetness of its parent.
Outlier Z has gained popularity primarily through word-of-mouth in cannabis communities rather than widespread commercial distribution. The strain is particularly noted for its balanced hybrid effects that begin with cerebral stimulation before transitioning to full-body relaxation. Growers appreciate its moderate cultivation difficulty and reliable performance, while consumers seek it out for its unique combination of sweet flavor and versatile effects suitable for various times of day.

Outlier Z Strain Growing Information
Outlier Z is considered a moderately difficult strain to cultivate, suitable for growers with some experience. The plants typically flower in 8-9 weeks indoors, with outdoor harvests ready in late September to early October. Indoor yields are average to above average, producing approximately 400-500 grams per square meter under optimal conditions. Outdoor plants can yield 500-600 grams per plant in favorable climates.
The strain adapts well to both indoor and outdoor environments but prefers a controlled indoor setting where temperature and humidity can be carefully managed. Plants tend to remain medium in height, making them suitable for limited spaces. Outlier Z requires attention to nutrient levels and benefits from regular pruning to improve airflow and light penetration to lower bud sites. The strain shows good resistance to common molds and pests but is somewhat sensitive to nutrient burn, requiring careful feeding schedules.
