Zesty Zkittles Auto
Also known as: Zesty Zkittles Autoflower, Zesty Zkittles Automatic
Zesty Zkittles Auto Strain Overview
Zesty Zkittles Auto is an autoflowering cannabis strain developed by crossing the popular Zkittles strain with a robust autoflowering genetic line. This strain emerged in the 2010s as breeders sought to combine the desirable flavor profile and effects of Zkittles with the convenience and rapid growth cycle of autoflowering varieties. The original Zkittles strain, known for its candy-like sweetness and colorful appearance, was bred with autoflowering genetics to create a version suitable for growers seeking faster harvests without sacrificing quality.
The plant typically exhibits a compact, bushy structure characteristic of autoflowering varieties, with dense, resinous buds that display a range of colors from deep green to purple hues, often accented by vibrant orange pistils. The buds are typically covered in a thick layer of trichomes, giving them a frosty appearance. Notable features include its relatively short life cycle and ability to flower automatically based on age rather than light cycle changes, making it particularly suitable for novice growers or those with limited space.
Zesty Zkittles Auto maintains the distinctive terpene profile of its photoperiod parent, delivering a complex aromatic experience that combines fruity, citrus, and earthy notes. The strain has gained popularity among home growers for its manageable size, consistent performance, and reliable effects, though some connoisseurs note that autoflowering versions may sometimes produce slightly less potent or complex effects compared to their photoperiod counterparts.

Zesty Zkittles Auto Strain Growing Information
Zesty Zkittles Auto is considered a beginner-friendly strain with moderate difficulty. The autoflowering nature means it transitions to flowering automatically based on age (typically 3-4 weeks after germination) rather than light cycle. Flowering time is approximately 8-10 weeks from seed to harvest. Expected yields range from 300-450 grams per square meter indoors or 30-100 grams per plant outdoors. The plant prefers a warm, Mediterranean-like climate when grown outdoors and thrives in both soil and hydroponic systems indoors. Plant height typically ranges from 60-100 cm (24-40 inches), making it suitable for discreet grows or limited spaces. Special considerations include avoiding transplanting (autoflowers prefer to start in their final container), providing consistent light during the vegetative stage (18-24 hours of light recommended), and avoiding high-stress training techniques that might stunt the plant's automatic flowering schedule.
