Reports on Zkittlez Cake repeat one picture: consumers describe a relaxed body combined with a head that stays clear enough for reading or making music. The reports disagree on how long this state lasts. The indica-leaning hybrid of Zkittlez and Wedding Cake is attributed to 2 Californian breeders, Jungle Boys and Purple Caper Seeds, each of which carries its own version.
Community Experiences:
Mentioned are relaxation, concentration, creativity and a lifted mood, along with giggling, talkativeness, appetite and a tingling in the body. Some consumers find the strain stimulating despite its indica lean. Others report that after a few hours or after larger amounts, tiredness sets in and the eyes grow heavy; one report attributes such differences to the individual producer. Several reports stress that the relaxation does not turn into immobility.
Side effects that appear are dry mouth, dry eyes and dizziness; one strain description also lists paranoia. Several consumers find the smoke smooth, and one mentions an urge to cough with fresher flowers.
Aroma and Flavor:
The description of the Jungle Boys version pairs a sweet, cake-like scent with earthy pepper and fruity notes. In flavor it starts with a nutty sweetness, joined by berries and a sour citrus note. Other strain descriptions add herbs, earth and an ammonia tone; one states that the sweetness resembles pastry more than candy. User reports describe a sharp, peppery and gassy smell with sweet hints, and the flavor ranges from cake to vanilla cake with a fruity finish. One strain description lists caryophyllene, linalool and humulene as the dominant terpenes.
Genetics and Origin:
Zkittlez, also known as The Original Z, is attributed by pedigree records to Dying Breed Seeds and traced back to Grape Ape and Grapefruit. Wedding Cake comes from Seed Junky Genetics and is a cross of Triangle Mints #23 and Animal Mints. Which of the two breeders presented its Zkittlez Cake first is left open by the sources: one strain description names only Purple Caper Seeds, another names both. The names Z Cake and Zkittles Cake also circulate.
The strain is documented as a parent in several crosses, among them Tropicana Grape Cake by Fidels Seed Co, Wedding Zkittlez by BSF Seeds and Frozen Jungle by Perfect Tree. Tiki Madman combined it, among others, with Creamsicle and Guava Gelato.
Versions from Different Breeders:
Purple Caper Seeds crosses Wedding Cake with Zkittlez BX, a line of The Original Z and a cross of The Original Z with GDP. This version exists as regular photoperiod seed. Both versions are listed as suitable for indoor and outdoor cultivation.
For Jungle Boys the pedigree reads The Original Z x Wedding Cake. The description of this version gives 24 to 25 % THC and portrays compact, dark green flowers with thick, amber pistils and a fine coat of resin.
THC and CBD Content:
Besides the 24 to 25 % from the Jungle Boys description, another strain description gives 20 % THC and 1 % CBG. Product details for 2 flower batches from the US market stood at 24.68 and 27.01 % THC, one of which showed 0.09 % CBD. These values vary with batch, cultivation and phenotype; by ratio the strain is THC-dominant.
