What is the Zkittlez strain?

Zkittlez is a hybrid cannabis strain with up to 25.0% THC, known for its relaxed effects and berry and candy flavor profile.

Zkittlez is an indica-dominant hybrid cannabis strain bred from Grape Ape and Grapefruit that is crossed with another undisclosed strain. This sweet, tropical confection-flavored cultivar came to market in the early 2010s, created by skilled breeders known as 3rd Gen Family and Terp Hogz in Northern California. The Original Z won 1st Place at the 2016 Emerald Cup and has placed in several Cannabis Cups in San Francisco and Michigan. In 2023, Terp Hogz announced they will use the name "The Original Z," as part of a settlement with a candy company over alleged trademark infringement.

This strain features medium-sized, spongy green colas with large and lumpy pepper-shaped dark olive green nugs with sparse rich amber hairs and a thick frosty coating of tiny crystal white trichomes. The chunky flowers are typically dark green though they sometimes boast beautiful purple hues, reminiscent of their Grape Ape parent. Zkittlez offers a sensory experience with vibrant purple hues, sticky resin-covered buds, and a terpene profile that hits your taste buds like a rainbow of fruity candies. This strain has inspired countless hybrids, won prestigious awards, and established itself as a must-try for anyone serious about cannabis.
