Zkittlez strain is a cross-bred balanced hybrid strain that inherited its supreme genetics from its unbelievably fruity parent strains.
This strain can sometimes feel more indica to some users, but is generally known for its uplifting yet relaxing properties, highlighted by its sour citrus aroma.
Zkittlez is potent mix between Grape Ape and sativa Grapefruit, resulting in a fragrant flower with a complex fruitiness that stands out from the rest. Its THC levels can be milder than its counterparts, but this didn’t stand in its way of bagging the first place Best indica prize at the 2015 Cannabis Cup in both San Francisco and Michigan.

Rumors say that Zkittlez has been cross-bred with another unknown strain to become what it is today, which we can thank the breeders at 3rd Gen Family and Terp Hogz for.
Since then it has only grown more popular as it displays its many useful applications as both a medicinal as well as a recreational plant.

Adverse reactions
Zkittlez does have some side effects, which can vary depending on your experience with this type of hybrid. You are likely to feel dizzy when smoking this strain, especially in the beginning, but for most users this doesn’t usually persist.

This strain will usually leave you with the standard dry mouth and dry and often itchy eyes. Zkittlez may also in some cases cause a slight anxiety and nervousness, which for some users can also result in a lingering yet mild headache that is likely to last for the entire high.
Zkittlez medical benefits
Zkittlez is an uplifting strain despite often feeling like an indica. This delicate balance makes it an easy choice for patients who are struggling with chronic depression, and are looking for a way to feel less weighed down and more elated and motivated.
Chronic stress sufferers prefer this strain simply because it is very effective in helping them control their negative emotions. Zkittlez can make you feel more energized, at the very least cerebrally, encouraging positive thoughts to be entertained and negative ones forgotten.

Zkittlez can also make you feel less nauseous, allowing for an increased appetite in patients who are being exposed to radiation treatments. If you suffer from chronic pain, this strain may be ideal for you, and it can allow you to drift off into sleep much easier due to the subdued aches.

Hi Vicki,
Thanks for your comment. Are you growing indoors or outdoors? If you’re growing indoors, keep in mind that it will require a light schedule of 12 hours on 12 hours off to trigger the flowering stage. If you’re growing outdoors it depends on what area you are in when it will start flowering. (this depends on the time of your in your area when the days gets shorter and the nights get longer).
Feel free to reach out to our customer support at [email protected] and we can help you out with this, of course.
Happy growing,
ILGM

Today is week 7 day 2 and she looks to be almost done. And smells like a candy dream!!! Easy grower I’m guessing 2 to 3 ounces in the 5 gallon pots under about 180 watts LED
Growing a zkittles now its been a very easy plant to grow I’m using a 250 w hps for the plant it’s a photo so have 12 12 light cycle I put it Into flower very young but it is turning into a wicked little plant 4 weeks to go apx and I will be very happy with the results would recommend to anyone to have a go at this one smells lovely
I just got some seeds of this strain. Following the germination guide. I did 2 seeds a few days ago and still hasn’t sprouted. I did another seed and it’s up and that seeded 2 days ago. So doing another one to get me 2 plants. So far ok. Will give update with the previous 2 seeds.
I have two zkittez plants outside right now which ill be picking this week ! There r some massive BUDS on them close to 8″ around or a little bigger for the trichomes in a one inch squares uncountable !!!!
What that means is that if u have a square meter in space then fill that with zkittlez and that’s what u get not per plant u should be getting between 11/2 _ 2 oz per plant
This is my first time growing zkittlez im pretty stoked started in the house can’t wait to start getting warmer weather so I can move outdoors
I have smoked this fruity strain and love it! I was lucky enough to find a seed in that bag and am now in the 6th week of veg. I havent seen any signs of it being a male, so am hoping it is female. I have kept humidity low and water it less often than my Widow Bomb, GG4 and OG Kush. It seems to need watering about every 3-4 days. The others seem to need it every 2-3. I have kept the temps between 65-75. I am making a natural grow tea today to feed them with in a few days. This should give them a real boost. They were all germinated on 12/5/19 and planted 12/7/19.. This plant is 14 inches tall from where it comes out of the dirt. It has bigger, fatter leaves like an Indica plant. It would be great to get 13 oz from this plant, I am growing it indoors in Michigan. So may only get a few oz. I am going to clone off this plant and grow some outside in the Spring. I will let ya know how much yield I get from this Skittles plant.
Just Harvested 4 X Seedsman Zkittlez Auto Grown In A 3 X 3 Tent Under A 600W HPS. 2 plants grew to 24″, 1 to 30″ and 1 to 47″. Dry Weight yield, 12 oz. Nice vape, great smell and taste, very clean head high, relaxing and sociable. I suffer from insomnia and have taken Zopiclone 15mg for over 20 years to sleep. Zkittlez puts me out as good as any other strain I’ve grown. I’d recommend it in a heart beat.
Great strain for ONE of my multiple sclerois symptoms.
I get slightly dry eyes sometimes, but the eye cooling drops remive that problem instantly. I feel good and have a little energy to be social which i had lost..
