In these later stages, Zkittlez is best enjoyed laidback circumstances.

The creation of Northern California-based collective Dying Breed Seeds, this strain is descended from fruity indica favorite Grape Ape and tangy sativa Grapefruit.

This buds appeal was strong enough to earn the title of Best Indica at the 2015 High Times Cannabis Cup held in Michigan.

Zkittlezs THC content has been measured at between 15 and 23.

Like its namesake, this strain offers you the opportunity to taste the rainbow -- but as it turns out Zkittlez lets you see a rainbow too.

Depending on phenotype, the plants thick and chunky flowers appear in a variety of greens and purples, with vibrant orange hairs (or pistils) sprinkled throughout.

The eye-catching purple hues are the result of high concentrations of anthocyanin pigments.

The trimmed buds have a characteristically indica structure, tight and densely-packed, with smallish leaves.

Finally, a dusting of cloudy white trichomes ensures both stickiness and psychoactivity.

When properly cured, Zkittlezs flowers give off a kind of sweet-sour funk.

A second whiff reveals slightly more distinct notes of berry and lemon.

Grinding up the flowers intensifies the strains more sour notes, resulting in a kind of skunky character.

When combusted in a pipe or joint, the flowers burn with a very pleasant and easily-inhaled smoke.

Notably, any detectable grape flavors are coincidental to the strains purple coloring; this is because the plants color are determined by pigmentation., while its flavor profile is determined by terpenes.

Although Zkittlez comes on relatively quickly, its head-focused effects tend to be subtle.

Some slight pressure around the eyes and temples may occur at first.

As smokers become accustomed to this feeling, though, theyre able to appreciate the strains action on their sensory perception.

Odd experiences like visual and auditory distortions are commonly reported, as is a strange feeling of time passing more slowly.

Such trippy, depersonalizing effects can be boosted by atmospheric enhancements, particularly moody music or a visually-engaging television show.

This kind of cerebral energy can be a great way to work on detailed tasks, whether theyre complicated or more mundane, like cleaning the house.

As the high wears on, a palpable body high creeps in to complement these mentally-activating effects.

While this newfound relaxation isnt liable to knock smokers out flat, it could just undo any earlier motivation to get through a long to-do list.
