Zkittlez Strain Review: One of the Best Indica Strains of 2021
What exactly does it take to make Zkittles one of the best indica strains of 2021? It starts with genetics. With two legendary parents, this cross between Grape Ape and Grapefruit was destined for greatness. And we’re not the only ones who think so: just ask the judges at the 2016 Emerald Cup. This impressive award set Zkittlez up for years of success.
Its lineage is what gives Zkittles its next-level traits, including its fruity taste and its relaxing, down-to-earth properties. We’ll take a closer look at how these traits make Zkittlez a truly unique strain to experience.
What Does Zkittlez Smell and Taste Like?
As you may have guessed, Zkittlez takes its name from the delicious little candies. In fact, Mars Wrigley (the company that makes Skittles) actually filed a lawsuit against Terphogz, the originators of Zkittlez, last year. We’re still waiting to see how that plays out, but in the meantime we’re free to enjoy Zkittlez to our heart’s content.
Zkittlez’s grape-centric, fruity flavor definitely touches on many of the same tastes as the famous candy. Its aroma demonstrates some powerful grape overtones as well – you’ll smell them as soon as you crack open a container of this strain.
Zkittlez gets its aroma and flavor from its terpene profile. And while several terpenes all work together to create its grape taste, the most abundant is caryophyllene. Aside from helping grant Zkittlez its flavor, caryophyllene also plays a part in this strain’s effects. According to some research, this terpene may provide a wealth of benefits including anti-inflammatory properties.
Zkittlez Strain: Indica Effects and Properties
Zkittlez gets its effects from more than just its terpene profile, though. It also boasts a high THC concentration that usually surpasses 20%. In addition to an impressive THC content, it also features a significant amount of the minor cannabinoid CBG. Much like caryophyllene, CBG appears to have anti-inflammatory effects, as well.
But here’s the real question in this strain review: how does Zkittlez make you feel? As a heavily indica-dominant strain, it exhibits powerfully calming effects. If you’re feeling stressed out and your mind is racing, one puff of Zkittlez can have your thoughts decelerating to a much more manageable pace.
Unlike many indicas though, Zkittlez isn’t a particularly “sleepy” strain. Instead, it leaves one feeling happy and relaxed while simultaneously alert and focused. Still, as with any indica, you may run the risk of getting overly sedated if you overindulge. As a result, this strain is best saved for relaxing and unwinding at the end of a long day.
