Z and Z Auto
Also known as: Z&Z Auto, Z and Z Autoflower
Z and Z Auto Strain Overview
Z and Z Auto is an autoflowering cannabis strain developed through selective breeding to combine desirable traits from its parent genetics while offering the convenience of automatic flowering. The strain's exact origin remains somewhat obscure in public breeding records, but it appears to be a stabilized autoflowering version of a Zkittlez cross, likely involving Zkittlez genetics combined with another Z-named strain, then crossed with autoflowering ruderalis genetics to create the automatic flowering characteristic. The name 'Z and Z' suggests a combination of two Z-strains, though specific lineage documentation from breeders is limited.
Visually, Z and Z Auto plants typically display a compact, bushy structure characteristic of many autoflowering hybrids, with dense, resin-coated buds that exhibit a range of colors from deep green to purple hues, often with vibrant orange pistils. The buds are known for their trichome density, giving them a frosty appearance. The strain's autoflowering nature means it transitions from vegetative growth to flowering based on age rather than light cycle changes, making it particularly suitable for novice growers or those seeking a straightforward cultivation experience.
Notable features of Z and Z Auto include its relatively short life cycle (typically 8-10 weeks from seed to harvest), moderate yield potential, and balanced effects that users describe as both physically relaxing and mentally uplifting. The strain has gained popularity among home growers for its manageable size, resilience to common growing mistakes, and consistent performance across various growing environments. While not as historically significant as some landmark strains, Z and Z Auto represents the continued development of autoflowering technology within cannabis breeding programs.

Z and Z Auto Strain Growing Information
Z and Z Auto is considered a beginner-friendly strain with moderate difficulty. The autoflowering genetics allow for a complete life cycle of approximately 8-10 weeks from germination to harvest. Plants typically reach heights of 60-100cm (24-40 inches) when grown indoors and slightly taller outdoors. Expected yields range from 300-450g/m² indoors or 30-100g per plant outdoors, depending on growing conditions and experience level.
The strain performs well in both indoor and outdoor environments, though it thrives in temperate climates with consistent temperatures between 20-28°C (68-82°F). Indoor growers should maintain a consistent light schedule of 18-20 hours of light during the entire growth cycle. Outdoor cultivation is possible in most regions with at least 8-10 weeks of favorable weather. Special considerations include avoiding transplanting (autoflowers prefer to be started in their final containers), maintaining proper pH levels (6.0-6.5 for soil, 5.5-6.0 for hydroponics), and providing adequate nutrients during the flowering phase. The autoflowering nature makes it resistant to light pollution issues that can affect photoperiod strains.
