Orange Zkittlez

Orange Zkittlez, often shortened to OZ, is attributed to 3rd Gen Family, the Emerald Triangle breeding collective behind Zkittlez and associated with Dying Breed Seeds and Terp Hogz. Weedmaps places its origin in California around 2013, and Leafly, Weedmaps and Seedfinder agree on the lineage of Zkittlez crossed with Agent Orange, although a clone vendor also lists California Orange as a possible second parent. It circulates as a clone rather than a seed line: no seed vendor stocks it, Seedfinder files it under unknown breeders with no seed release, and Leafly now lists it under the name Orange Z. Plants are described as slender with deep green leaves, producing compact, oblong, dense buds in light green with faint orange pistils.

Consumers report an uplifted, energetic and happy effect with a clear cerebral lift and gentle body relaxation, and Leafly users tag it uplifted, energetic and happy. No breeder or lab potency figure has been published; Leafly's 21 percent THC and a clone retailer's 18 to 26 percent range are unverified aggregator numbers. Sources disagree on its lean, ranging from sativa leaning to a 60/40 indica balance.

The flavor is dominated by orange and citrus with a tropical sweetness on the exhale and a subtle earthy note. Leafly lists caryophyllene, limonene and humulene as the dominant terpenes. Grow data comes only from clone retailers, who describe it as suitable for beginner to intermediate growers with an 8 to 9 week flower, and GrowDiaries has one diary and no harvests.
