ZKIEM
Also known as: Harybo
ZKIEM Strain Overview
ZKIEM is an indica-dominant hybrid cannabis strain developed by R-KIEM Seeds in the early 2010s as a response to growing demand for potent, predominantly indica cultivars. Originally known as Harybo, this strain was created by crossing an elite Zkittlez clone imported from the USA with a carefully selected Afghan strain from 2004. The breeding program combined traditional techniques with modern genetic insights to enhance desirable traits while maintaining the flavor profile that made Zkittlez famous. ZKIEM features a genetic makeup that is approximately 75% indica and 25% sativa, resulting in a compact, well-branched plant with short internodal distance and thick, chunky, highly resinous colas. The strain exhibits remarkable vigor and adaptability to different growing environments, making it an excellent choice for both novice and experienced growers. At harvest, plants produce very resinous flowers with particularly intense flavors, characterized by beautiful purple hues in some phenotypes reminiscent of its genetic lineage. The strain has gained attention for its robust nature, consistent performance, and exceptional resin production, making it ideal for extractions with reported yields of up to 15% in solvent and solvent-free methods.

ZKIEM Strain Growing Information
ZKIEM is considered an excellent choice for growers of all experience levels due to its remarkable adaptability and hybrid vigor. The strain thrives in both indoor and outdoor environments with optimal indoor temperatures between 68°F-77°F and humidity levels around 40-50%. Indoor flowering time is approximately 8 weeks (56 days), with outdoor harvest occurring in late September to early October in the Northern Hemisphere. Expected yields are impressive at up to 600g per m² indoors and 600g per plant outdoors when grown in soil. The plant exhibits indica structure with short internodal distance, thick branches, and medium height. It responds well to SOG (Sea of Green) cultivation techniques and pruning of the main stem to encourage lateral branching. The strain shows excellent resistance to pests, diseases, and environmental factors, adapting well to medium to high feeding schedules with organic nutrients preferred to maximize flavor development.
