Recreational and Medicinal Use

Are you easily captivated by the flavors and aromas of weed? Are you insatiable? If so, be careful! There's a catch. Due to its high THC content of up to 23%, inexperienced newbies should proceed with caution when exploring the secrets of Zkittlez x Gelato. Experienced stoners can fully enjoy the effects that will take them through all the stages of a psychoactive trip: from a quick sativa high in the introduction and a burst of cerebral activity to a deep indica relaxation, bordering on a physical stone, that harmoniously concludes the journey. Plan on a 2-3-hour session that will likely be accompanied by a voracious appetite and conclude with a deep, carefree sleep. Benefiting from the therapeutic effects of terpenes, this strain is effective in normalizing overall body tone, combating insomnia, anxiety, stress, depression, pain, inflammation, and muscle spasms.

Cultivation

This hybrid is a pleasure to grow. It thrives in stable, sunny and warm weather similar to its native California. In humid climates, grow Zkittlez x Gelato in portable grow bags with handles so you can move the plants to a friendlier environment in case of inclement weather. Remember to check the condition of the plants, especially when the weather changes or if you've made the common mistake of overwatering. If problems occur, whether it's mold or pest infestation, identify the cause and take steps to eliminate it and provide preventative treatment.

Indoors, maintain optimal microclimate parameters. Start by installing a reliable ventilation system that facilitates the removal of excess moisture and prevents elevated temperatures. The latter factor requires special attention when using HPS lamps. We recommend choosing cooler running full-spectrum LED lights instead.

During the vegetative stage, the strain requires up to 20 hours of light per day. Once the seedlings have reached the desired size for the space available (keep in mind that they can double in size during flowering), reduce the lighting regime to 12 hours to initiate flowering.
