Description
Zkittlez Feminized comes from crossing Grape Ape with Grapefruit, giving her an indica-dominant profile with reported THC in the 18%–22% range. She's easy to grow and flowers in as little as 56 days.
Break open a bud and fruity notes come through first, backed by sweet, citrus tones with berry and lemon accents. Buds grow thick and bulky, showing green and purple colors with orange pistils and heavy trichome coverage.
Indoors, she stays short during veg then stretches once flowering starts, typically finishing in the 3.9–5 ft range. Yield potential runs very high, in the 2.1 oz/ft² range indoors. Given her easy grow rating and low maintenance needs, Zkittlez Feminized suits beginner growers as well as extract makers.
Grow info
Zkittlez Feminized has a fruity terpene profile and heavy trichome production.
Indoor growing
Indoors, she stays short during veg and stretches to about 3.9–5 ft once flowering begins. LST and topping are recommended to help build the canopy, particularly for growers with limited height. Good airflow, such as with oscillating fans, is recommended once flowering starts, along with monitoring for powdery mildew and botrytis. Flowering takes about 56 to 70 days depending on phenotype, with most plants ready around 63 days. Indoor yield can reach up to about 2.1 oz per square foot, or up to about 2.6 oz per square foot with hydroponics.
Outdoor growing
Outdoors, she grows into large plants and can be prone to powdery mildew and mold, so keeping temperatures near 75°F with about 40% relative humidity and good airflow is recommended. Planting in spring in a 16–22 gallon fabric pot is recommended for the largest plants; support is needed for the thick, dense buds. Harvest is expected mid to late October; planting clones outdoors in June can also produce a late-season harvest. Outdoor yield can reach up to about 35.5 oz per plant.
Training and plant care
Topping and tying down are recommended, along with pruning the lower canopy about a week before flowering. Supporting buds with a net or bamboo canes during the final weeks is recommended to prevent side branches from toppling.
