Z3
Also known as: Z-3
What is the Z3 strain?
Z3 is a hybrid cannabis strain with up to 25.0% THC, known for its relaxed effects and berry and citrus flavor profile.
Z3 is an indica dominant hybrid strain (80% indica/20% sativa) created through crossing the delicious Zkittlez X Hindu Kush strains. Originally developed in the early 2010s, this strain emerged at a time when breeders were pushing the boundaries of Indica-dominant genetics. Terp Hogz, known for innovative breeding techniques, embarked on a mission to create a strain that could both satisfy the demands of connoisseurs and provide robust therapeutic benefits. Z3 is a result of a crossbred of their original Zkittlez female with one of their historical favourites, Hindu Kush, backcrossed 3 times. This strain is a perfect blend of Zkittlez flavour and the aromatic earthiness of the Hindu.
Z3 buds have fluffy and dense grape-shaped blue-green nugs with lots of thin amber hairs and a coating of frosty, chunky amber crystal trichomes. The buds are small, dense and pebble like. Contrasting mossy and forest green colours mixed with the very light frosting of trichomes give it a very special look. With a high that is lovingly referred to as a 'tranquil trip for the ages,' Z3 is the perfect soothing indica to help you clear your mind and settle down before finally getting to sleep. The strain is particularly valued for its combination of the fruity sweetness characteristic of Zkittlez with the earthy, grounding effects of Hindu Kush genetics.
