ZK Nana
Also known as: Zkittlez x Banana, Zkittlez Banana
ZK Nana Strain Overview
ZK Nana is a modern hybrid cannabis strain created by crossing two popular contemporary cultivars: Zkittlez and Banana. This strain emerged in the late 2010s as breeders sought to combine the exceptional flavor profile of Zkittlez with the balanced effects and structure of Banana strains. While its exact breeding history isn't extensively documented, ZK Nana has gained recognition in cannabis communities for its distinctive characteristics and has been cultivated by several West Coast breeders.
The strain typically produces medium-sized, dense buds with a complex visual appearance. The flowers often display a mix of deep green and purple hues, complemented by vibrant orange pistils and a generous coating of trichomes that gives the buds a frosty, crystalline appearance. The buds are usually tightly packed with a slightly elongated structure, inheriting traits from both parent strains. The visual appeal is enhanced by the resin production, which is typically abundant and sticky to the touch.
ZK Nana is particularly notable for its aromatic profile, which combines the sweet, fruity notes of Zkittlez with the tropical, banana-like undertones from its Banana parent. This creates a complex sensory experience that has contributed to its popularity among connoisseurs. The strain's effects are generally described as balanced, providing both cerebral stimulation and physical relaxation, making it suitable for various times of day depending on individual tolerance and dosage.

ZK Nana Strain Growing Information
ZK Nana is considered a moderately difficult strain to cultivate, making it more suitable for growers with some experience. The plants typically have a flowering time of 8-10 weeks when grown indoors. Outdoor harvests usually occur in mid to late October in northern hemisphere climates. The strain can be grown both indoors and outdoors, though indoor cultivation allows for better environmental control. Plants tend to reach medium height, with indoor plants typically growing 100-150 cm tall and outdoor plants potentially reaching 150-200 cm. Yields are generally moderate to high, with indoor growers reporting 400-500 grams per square meter and outdoor growers achieving 500-600 grams per plant under optimal conditions. The plants benefit from regular pruning and training techniques like topping or low-stress training to manage height and improve light penetration. ZK Nana prefers stable temperatures and moderate humidity levels, particularly during flowering to prevent mold in the dense buds. Nutrient requirements are moderate, with some growers noting sensitivity to overfeeding.
