Zkittlez Flavor Auto
Also known as: Zkittlez Auto, Zkittlez Autoflower
Zkittlez Flavor Auto Strain Overview
Zkittlez Flavor Auto is an autoflowering cannabis strain developed as a stabilized autoflower version of the popular Zkittlez cultivar. This strain combines the genetics of Zkittlez with autoflowering ruderalis genetics to create a plant that automatically transitions from vegetative growth to flowering based on age rather than light cycle. The original Zkittlez strain gained prominence after winning the 2015 and 2016 Emerald Cup, establishing itself as a flavorful and potent indica-dominant hybrid.
The strain is characterized by its compact, bushy structure typical of autoflowering varieties, with dense, resinous buds that display a colorful palette of deep greens, purples, and occasional orange pistils. The trichome coverage is typically generous, giving the buds a frosty appearance. Zkittlez Flavor Auto maintains the signature terpene profile of its photoperiod parent, though some variation may occur due to the introduction of autoflowering genetics.
As an autoflowering variety, Zkittlez Flavor Auto offers practical advantages for cultivators, particularly those with space limitations or seeking multiple harvests in a single growing season. The strain's automatic flowering mechanism makes it suitable for beginners and those growing in climates with shorter summers. While it preserves much of the original Zkittlez flavor profile, some connoisseurs note subtle differences in potency and terpene expression compared to the photoperiod version.

Zkittlez Flavor Auto Strain Growing Information
Zkittlez Flavor Auto is considered a beginner-friendly strain with moderate difficulty. The autoflowering genetics result in a total life cycle of approximately 10-12 weeks from seed to harvest, with flowering typically beginning around weeks 3-4. Plants remain compact, usually reaching 60-100 cm indoors and slightly taller outdoors. Yields are moderate for an autoflower, with indoor growers typically harvesting 350-450 grams per square meter and outdoor growers achieving 50-150 grams per plant.
The strain performs well in both indoor and outdoor environments, though indoor cultivation allows for better environmental control. Outdoor growing is successful in most temperate climates during the summer months. Zkittlez Flavor Auto prefers consistent temperatures between 20-28°C (68-82°F) and moderate humidity levels. Special considerations include avoiding transplanting (autoflowers prefer to be started in their final containers) and providing adequate nutrients during the short vegetative phase. The strain responds well to low-stress training techniques but is sensitive to overfeeding and overwatering.
