Sweet Zkittlez has "sweet" in her name for a reason. This indica-dominant lovechild of Grape Ape and Grapefruit has a reputation for tasting like candy, and the high she produces is even more delicious. She’s rumoured to have a mysterious third parent, adding a genetic wildcard to this mesmerising strain. With THC levels of 15–20%, Sweet Zkittlez leaves you in a state of total relaxation while sparking a state of joyful euphoria that’s unusually uplifting for the indica world. This sweetheart of a strain has managed to charm a few judges in her day, bringing home first prize in both the 2016 Emerald Cup and the indica category at the 2015 Cannabis Cup in San Francisco.
Sweet Zkittlez takes 7–9 weeks to flower, during which she matures her crystalline buds marbled in green and purple. The terpenes give off an undeniably fruity, earthy scent. Experienced growers recommend letting her be for the full 9 weeks to maximise her flavour potential. Outdoor growers should make the chop in late September. She grows to a medium height, sitting beneath a large apical crown and wreathed with abundant side budding on her branches. Sweet Zkittlez produces outdoor yields of 400–600g/plant and indoor yields of 500–700g/m². Sweet Zkittlez is often considered an easy grow, so long as she receives enough sunlight.
Medicinally, Sweet Zkittlez’s uplifting effects are useful for boosting mood, and her calming nature can help banish stress. Those suffering from chronic pain might appreciate Sweet Zkittlez for her powerful soothing effect, while also enjoying her uplifting high. Users will be able to remain active, avoiding the typical “indica couch-lock” phenomenon. If any of this resonates, give Sweet Zkittlez a whirl; this spoonful of sugar might be exactly what the doctor ordered.
