Huge and Tasty – Giant Skittlez is the ultimate blend of size and flavour. Massive Yields are a given with our strains but with this taste sensation you get the best of both worlds. Think the sweetest of candy, only in Mega sized proportions. Open up a giant bag of candy to taste the rainbow!
We loved the amazing, zingy fruit flavour of the original Skittlez and it was well deserving of its multiple cup wins. But the one area we felt that it needed improving was the yield. As soon as we got our hands on a clone of the original, we set about making it a true yield master. As we wanted to keep the outstanding taste and aroma, we needed a cross that would simply enhance what was already there and using the classic Critical Mass we were not disappointed.
Giant Skittlez sticks to her more Indica family lines staying reasonably short, even when planted outdoors normally topping out around 6ft, but the buds are something to behold. Stacked in massive clusters thanks to the branching pattern being so close; when she is in the final stages you will see more flowers than leaves. Buds retain a slightly Purple colour because of the Mendocino in the mother, the leaves are a dark and shiny green, with trichomes covering every available surface.
The effects of this strain are a beautiful balance of high and stoned, an early onset of uplifting feelings rapidly settles down into a more relaxing body stone. You won’t be quite “stuck to the couch” but nicely comfortable without a care in the world.
In short, when you want the best tasting weed and loads of it, Giant Skittlez has to be your first choice.

Strain FAQ
What are Zkittlez's significant terpenes?
Caryophyllene, humulene, and linalool improve Zkittlez's scent and potential. Its distinctive aroma comes from its rich terpene profile.
Why are strains which finish by mid-September popular for the outdoors?
The ability to harvest by mid-September is said to benefit legal outdoor growers. Beating the first fall frosts is said to be helpful in avoiding crop loss to cold or mould. This timing is reportedly essential for crop quality and quantity without the risks of later-finishing cultivars.
Do you know which terpenes give these strains their fruity flavour?
Sure! The sweet, mango-like aroma of myrcene is said to relax, while limonene is said to boost mood with its zesty scent. Caryophyllene is peppery, pinene adds a crisp, piney and apple note, while terpinolene adds citric, floral, herbal, and piney notes.
