Zkittlez (originally "The Original Z") is an indica-leaning hybrid from Oakland's Terphogz that crosses Grape Ape, Grapefruit, and an undisclosed third strain. It took first place at the 2016 Emerald Cup and has stayed near the top of West Coast preference lists since.

The candy-like grape-grapefruit-berry flavor is the first thing anyone notices. Effects arrive relaxed and sleepy with mild appetite stimulation. It's calming without being heavily sedating, making it a good choice for late afternoon or evening use.
