Sweet ZZ
Sweet ZZ
Also known as: Sweet Zkittlez
Overview
Sweet ZZ is an indica-dominant hybrid strain developed by Royal Queen Seeds through a genetic cross between Grape Ape and Grapefruit. This strain represents a refinement of the Zkittlez family, selected to maximize candy-forward aromatics without sacrificing potency. The strain is 20% sativa and 80% indica, making it part of the modern "candy" terpene wave that has reshaped cannabis over the past decade.
Sweet ZZ typically produces fruity aromas and succulent flavors that are like having your very own sweet shop, with flavors of sweet berries, citrus, and a hint of earthiness. The strain develops a large main bud with smaller buds ornamenting the side branches, with shades of purple detectable on some phenotypes. Sweet ZZ's THC content typically hovers around 18-22%, making it accessible for both novice and experienced users. The strain has gained popularity for its fast flowering window of about 7–9 weeks and reliable yields, which commonly reach 500–600 g/m² indoors under optimized conditions.

Growing Information
Sweet ZZ is super easy to grow, thanks to her balanced genetics and resilience. When grown indoors, plants produce approximately 550-600g/m² after the 7–9-week flowering phase. Outdoor growers will receive around 500-550g/plant when harvest rolls around in late-September. Indoor height ranges from 80-140cm while outdoor plants can reach 160-200cm. The strain performs well in warm climates and is considered beginner-friendly with its reliable yields and relatively short flowering time. Growers should allow an extra week or two to ensure complete development of terpenes and cannabinoids for maximum flavor.
