Zkittlez

About Zkittlez

Zkittlez is an indica-leaning hybrid bred by 3rd Gen Family and Terphogz in California, crossing Grape Ape with Grapefruit and an unknown third parent. Released around 2015, the cultivar won the 2016 Emerald Cup and quickly became one of the most-recognizable candy-pedigree releases of the mid-2010s. Flowers carry a distinctive sweet candy-and-berry aroma layered over grape and mild tropical fruit — one of the cleaner candy-forward terpene profiles in the modern catalog. Effects are balanced toward relaxation: body sedation paired with mood-elevating cerebral euphoria. THC tests commonly land in the 18-23% range. Zkittlez is a foundational parent of the Runtz family — Gelato × Zkittlez = Runtz — and remains widely-cloned on California legal-market shelves.
