<\/div>\n

Gobs of aroma and flavor await openers of bags of Zkittlez \u2014 one of America\u2019s most trending, flavorful, fragrant and award-winning cannabis strains.<\/span><\/p>\n

Zkittlez surfaced slowly over the last five years, originating from a single garden in the West Coast\u2019s most dominant farm \u2014 3rd Gen Fam, winners of 38 awards, including Grand Prize of Chalice California <\/a>for their Zkittlez rosin processed by Moonshine Melts.<\/span><\/p>\n

The lovely, pungent, balanced indica hybrid strain began when the 3rd Gen Fam gifted \u201cBrandon\u201d a cut of Zkittlez, which he took and ran with.<\/span><\/p>\n

It was a cross of a primal grape-flavored strain and another local grapefruit-tasting strain, as well as likely something with fuel in it. Zkittlez lacked bag appeal, but more than made up for it with gobs of tropical candy terps and wholesome, positive effects. <\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cWhen we first introduced it to people, we could only do it in joints and pass it around to our friends,\u201d Brandon said. \u201cIf they were to see the jar, they would be dogging us right away. It was a blessing and a curse. When we passed it to [rapper, businessman] Berner, we couldn\u2019t show him \u2014 it was just too ugly.\u201d <\/span><\/p>\n

Zkittlez demonstrates how a high-THC count alone cannot match copious terpenes\u2014 which contribute to an \u2018entourage effect\u2019 far bigger than higher-THC-testing flowers. If THC is the engine, terpenes are the wheels. <\/span><\/p>\n

Zkittlez leaves a strong impact on people who try it. Exhibit A: seven awards won in four weeks, including the title belt in the World Secret Cup with an old school Zkittlez bubble hash. <\/span><\/p>\n

\u201c[Zkittles] handles like a beauty \u2014it\u2019s enjoyable no matter what\u2026 but I\u2019m really proud of that one,\u201d Brandon said. \u201cThat made me feel really good. The solventless<\/a> revolution is here.\u201d <\/span><\/p>\n

Zkittlez genetics are now available through the Fam\u2019s \u201cDying Breed Seeds<\/a>\u201d label. And look out for a new line of exotics with Berner, under the \u201cConnoisseur Union\u201d brand \u2014 including Rose, Dragonfruit and The Lemonge.<\/span><\/p>\n

Look<\/h4>\n

Zkittlez looks like an indica hybrid \u2014 with its dense, moderate-to-small size and rounded density. It features copious pistils, which are reddish brown, gold and blond over a medium-green to lime-green color.<\/p>\n

Smell<\/h4>\n

Cannabis aficionados love this strain for its huge nose, which isn\u2019t loud like gasoline, but more thick and syrupy sweet. It\u2019s the precise ratio of linalool (floral), humulene (hops), limonene (lemons), myrcene (perfume), pinene (pine), nerolidol (orange) and terpinolene (fuel) that creates the inviting aroma and strong yet balanced effects.<\/p>\n

Feel<\/h4>\n

Zkittlez feels moderately dense and powdery with THC resin as opposed to sticky. Its fused leaves break apart nice and chewy rather than locking the grinder. Great for Js, bowls, vapes \u2014 you name it.<\/p>\n

Taste<\/h4>\n

That huge terpene load translates into huge tastes as well \u2014 a rainbow gobstopper of sugary orange and pine, with a floral-fuel bite, then orange again.<\/p>\n

Effect<\/h4>\n

Fast onset, physical relaxation and mental stress relief with neither couch-lock nor raciness.<\/p>\n

Condition<\/h4>\n

Indica hybrids are often used by patients managing anxiety and chronic stress, as well as depression. Many report it can also relieve pain and nausea. Outdoor versions of Zkittlez are the perfect accompaniment to inner-tubing a lazy river. It\u2019s too enjoyable to ruin on hard work. It\u2019s brunch weed, or back-from-the-club weed. Not go-to-the-club weed. You\u2019re going to be content, so don\u2019t put too much on the agenda. Go see a chill movie, or just Netflix and chill.<\/p>\n
