The Zkittlez strain has achieved award-winning status for its powerful flavor and potent effects. The indica-leaning hybrid is made up of a cross between Grape Ape and Grapefruit. The delicious flavor of Zkittlez won the strain the first place title at the 2016 Emerald World Cup. Additionally, it placed in multiple other cannabis cups throughout San Francisco and Michigan.
Zkittlez Strain Appearance
The Zkittlez strain contains dense nugs that are large and chunky in form. The dark green-colored nugs have bursts of light green hues throughout. The strain has a very frosty appearance due to its thick blanket of crystal trichomes. Bright amber hairs can also be seen throughout the flower.
Terpenes
The dominant terpene in the strain is caryophyllene. The result is a sweet, tropical fruit aroma with an earthy quality to it. Caryophyllene has tons of potential medicinal benefits like anti-inflammatory, antimicrobial, antibacterial, and antioxidant properties. Additionally, the terpene has been known to potentially help relieve anxiety and pain, reduce cholesterol, prevent Osteoporosis, and treat seizures.
The taste of Zkittlez matches its aroma, causing it to gain popularity as a strain that tastes just like the candy it’s named after.

Zkittlez Experience
Firstly, users can detect a berry flavor on the inhale with an after-taste of crisp citrus as they exhale. The strain’s high THC level, which sits around 20%, combined with the effects passed down by its parent strains may cause users to experience an uplifting cerebral high followed by a calm sense of relaxation. Additionally, the strain has been known to create a mild sedative quality, making it a great option for nighttime.
For medicinal users, Zkittlez may be beneficial in aiding health issues such as chronic pain, insomnia, and anxiety. For recreational users, Zkittlez may be a great option for getting creative, late-night movie watching, or relaxing at home.
