Original Sensible Seeds Zkittles Auto x4

The Original Sensible Seeds Zkittles Auto is a simple strain to grow, smoke and relax with. All four plants were small to medium sized (28-32" tall) with approximately 18-20 branches each (untopped). They were well structured with thick stems and branches- thus allowing this strain to hold a significant amount of bud weight without sagging or falling over leading up to harvest. This strain was by far, one of the easiest I’ve ever grown but I would only recommend this to a more experienced grower. I did find about a dozen male flowers on three out of the four plants in week 5. I plucked them off and watched these like crazy throughout the remainder of the grow. Thankfully they made it through to harvest and the finished product is decent. The buds are dense and heavy but not as resinous as Original Sensible Seeds describes in their advertising for this strain. The buds were easy to wet trim (low sugar leaf to bud ratio) and smell like freshly chopped cucumbers! It’s difficult to give an accurate description of the flavour for this strain because it’s just gone into cure. At this point when smoked or vaped, I can taste a combination of flowery, sweet and sour. The buzz is 70/30- Indica/Sativa and I personally don’t feel that this strain is as strong or intense as other growers describe. All in all, I generously gave this strain a 5 out of 10 for the following reasons- super easy to grow but the male flowers found during Week 5 leave me questioning the ultimate stability of these genetics. Even though this grow turned out all right in the end, if I hadn’t known what I was looking at (the male flowers) this entire grow would have been pollinated/ruined. The buds are tight and heavy but not nearly as resinous or potent as advertised by the folks at Original Sensible Seeds. I doubt that I will grow this strain again because male flowers in feminized, autoflowering genetics are simply unacceptable. 😢
