Chikitaz is a flavor-forward photoperiod hybrid from Cipher Genetics, combining Banana Runtz with a Zkittlez-led line that folds Gelato 41 back into Z. The result leans indica in structure yet keeps a lively, candy-shop terp profile: tropical banana over bright Z fruit, with citrus zest and a soft creamy finish. Dominant terpenes typically include limonene, beta‑caryophyllene, and myrcene, shaping an aromatic arc from sweet candy to gentle herbal spice. Dense, Runtz-like nugs sparkle with trichomes and flash lime-to-violet hues, while pistils thread amber through the frost. Reported potency runs high, commonly in the mid‑20s THC with negligible CBD. Effects start upbeat and euphoric before settling into an easy, happy calm that suits creative downtime or low-key social hours. Indoors, plants stay medium in height and flourish in dialed environments; expect a 56–70 day bloom with competent yields when canopies are well managed. Outdoors, stature and output remain moderate in favorable climates. Growers prize Chikitaz for its reliable color, resin, and confectionary nose, while fans chase its tropical-candy flavor that nods clearly to parents Banana Runtz, Zkittlez, and Gelato 41. Bred and released by Cipher Genetics, it showcases Chris Lynch’s modern dessert-forward selection style.
