Zkittlez Feminized

Perhaps named after the popular confectionery called Skittles, the candy-like Zkittlez is just as sweet as its namesake. Its genetic lineage is a bit like a goody bag that contains classic treats and a surprise twist. Grape Ape and Grapefruit bring Indica strength and a fruity flavor profile. But there's also an undisclosed third parent that's assumed to have given the hybrid its Sativa kick.

A strain that newbies can enjoy in moderation, Zkittlez has a THC level usually hitting the 18% mark. Its uplifting and euphoric cerebral high comes first, and is swiftly followed by a soothing body calm. Said to be great for alleviating mental and physical woes such as depression and PMS, the plant has a strong presence on the medical scene as well.

Aspiring and seasoned growers alike can cultivate this strain using feminized seeds from Homegrown Cannabis Co. They produce an all-female batch, and all the little lassies blossom into bountiful mothers. Harvesting a hefty stash is easy with this resilient and prolific plant.

Growing Zkittlez from Feminized Seeds

Zkittlez is a small to medium-sized Indica-dominant plant with a strong and sturdy structure. Its colas are filled with tight, pine cone-shaped buds, and although they're heavy, the branches hold up just fine. Thick and strong, they won't need any support even as the flowers pack on the pounds.

The plant is quite bushy so its foliage will require trimming and pruning to maintain proper air flow. When grown indoors, light cycles must be correctly monitored and odor control is pretty much a necessity. The great news is that even beginners can handle these relatively easy-to-complete tasks.

Reaching around 3 feet tall in a controlled setting, Zkittlez doesn't need much room to thrive. In a small grow space, a Sea of Green setup can be used to maximize the turnout. Using soil will enhance the plant's pungency, although it also develops well in hydroponics. After 7 to 8 weeks of flowering, around 1.63 ounces per square foot will be ready to enjoy.

White Widow also thrives outdoors, where it prefers a mild Mediterranean climate with plenty of warmth and sunshine. If planted in an optimum location, each plant can produce up to 16 ounces of fresh buds come harvest time. Growers in colder regions can still get good results during the warmest months, but it's best to keep it in a pot so it can be moved indoors in case of any sudden weather changes. In the northern hemisphere, harvest comes around late September.

Fragrance and Flavor

Smoking Zkittlez is like enjoying a mouthful of mixed fruit candies. The sour citrus tang of grapefruit blends well with the sweetness of berries and grapes. The fragrance is fruity and sweet but there's also a more nuanced and mature hint of herbs and damp soil.

Effects

Sweet but not in the way that causes a sugar rush, Zkittlez is best used a few hours before bedtime. Its incredible high begins with an uplifting mental flight that sends users straight into the stratosphere. It's euphoric and blissful, and worries and concerns seem to simply fade away.

While tokers are enjoying the cerebral ride, White Widow's Indica side will begin to rise to prominence. It soothes tension and pain, bringing a heavy-bodied sensation that may cause lethargy and sluggishness. Couch-lock is quite unlikely, though, so non-strenuous activities are still possible. After two to three hours of fun, drowsiness will kick in followed by a profound sleep.

Medical

Medicine is sometimes sweet enough to be taken without a spoonful of sugar. With Zkittlez, candy-coated mental and physical comfort comes fast and lasts long.

With just one toke, psychological problems such as stress and depression may momentarily vanish, replaced by happiness and pleasant thoughts. The munchies are likely to follow, which may make it a useful strain for those suffering from loss of appetite or eating disorders. Insomnia could also be a thing of the past, thanks to the herb's lethargic and soothing effects.

Zkittlez is also said to have physical benefits. It's been used as a muscle relaxant thanks to its potential analgesic and anti-inflammatory properties. Those suffering from the likes of arthritis, migraines, eye pressure and PMS have turned to it for help.

Like most other strains, there may also be some unwanted side effects. Immoderate consumption may cause dizziness, headache or paranoia, and cottonmouth and dry eyes are common. The latter two can be helped by drinking enough water to stay hydrated, and using over-the-counter eye drops.
