Growing Tips for Blue Zkittlez
Blue Zkittlez is a difficult strain to grow and should only be taken on by intermediate to master level horticulturalists. Blue Zkittlez marijuana plants will thrive both indoors and outdoors, but have an easier time growing indoors because of the grower’s ability to control the climate. If you choose to grow indoors, you will have to replicate a steady environment similar to the climate of California in the summertime. Blue Zkittlez produces plants that are pale green with dense buds growing from top to bottom. The strain isn’t terribly sticky, making it easy to break up with your fingers. If you are going to grow outdoors, you will need to maintain a consistent temperature and humidity to get these plants to harvest. Having access to a greenhouse is the best way to give these plants the perfect outdoor climate they require without having to put up with unexpected outdoor variables. These plants grow medium height and can reach around 5-8 feet tall if grown correctly. Because of the size of these plants, you will need ample vertical and lateral space to grow them. The ideal temperature for these plants is around 70-80 degrees Fahrenheit. Humidity levels should be kept at 30-50% during the vegetative and flowering growth stages. Growing indoors will ensure that the moderate humidity levels and temperature are maintained every day that the plants are in the growing stages. Low-stress training (LST), topping, and Screen of Green (ScrOG) are the best training techniques for this specific strain. Each of these techniques will ensure that your yields reach their full potential from top to bottom. The Blue Zkittlez strain requires an 18-20 hour light cycle to reach the vegetative stage of growth. Altering the light cycle to be a 12/12 cycle will induce the flowering stage and get you to your harvest.
Yields, Flowering Time, and Harvest
- Flowering Time: Growing indoors, you can expect the Blue Zkittlez strain to harvest after a short flowering period of 55-65 days.
- Yields: While Indoor yields are around 450 grams per square meter, outdoor grows typically produce up to 450 grams per plant. Completing this grow is super satisfying because of how difficult they are to bring to fruition. The yields are a welcome reward for a job well done.
- Harvest: Outdoor growers can plan on harvesting their yields around the beginning of October, depending on when the seeds were planted.
Blue Zkittlez: Uniquely Sweet
The Blue Zkittlez terpene profile is directly responsible for how the plant smells and tastes, and the strong effects it has on its users. The most dominant terpene in this strain is caryophyllene, while pinene, myrcene, linalool, and limonene are the secondary terpenes.
- Caryophyllene: Most Dominant – Spicy and peppery, this terpene is found in cinnamon and black pepper as well as some cannabis cultivars.
- Pinene: Secondary Terpene – Found in cannabis plants as well as pine needles and conifer trees, this terpene is responsible for the strain’s pine-like notes.
- Myrcene: Earthy Flavor and Aroma – The “Mother of all Terpenes”, myrcene gives cannabis its earthy flavor and aroma. Myrcene can be found in several cannabis strains.
- Limonene: Fresh Citrus – Found mostly in the rinds of citrus fruits, limonene is known for helping to decrease anxiety and can improve lung function when found in cannabis.
- Linalool: Floral – Linalool is a terpene found in cannabis plants that gives off a floral taste and aroma. It can also be found in lavender.
