Zkittlez Terpenes: Aroma, Terpene Profile and Similar Profiles

Marcos Gabriel Morales

Zkittlez terpenes smell like sweet tropical fruit candy, with grape, berry and grapefruit. Caryophyllene is usually its leading terpene, followed by linalool and humulene. We do not sell a Zkittlez CDT, but Bubblegum, Guava Runtz, Rainbow Sherbert x Nerdz and Starburst carry a similar candy aroma and are 100% cannabis derived.

What do Zkittlez terpenes smell like?

Zkittlez has grapefruit, grape and berry flavors in a sweet, tropical fruit profile.

What terpenes are in Zkittlez?

Caryophyllene is usually the leading terpene in Zkittlez, followed by linalool and humulene. Linalool adds a soft floral note, while caryophyllene and humulene give the sweetness some structure.

Every batch of any strain is a little different. Phenotype, growing conditions, harvest timing and whether the flower is live or cured all shift the ratios.

Where does Zkittlez come from?

Zkittlez is reported to be a cross of Grape Ape and Grapefruit with an undisclosed third strain, popularized in the 2010s by Terp Hogz in California. Zkittlez is also a parent of Runtz.

No. We only sell profiles captured from the strains we grow and extract, and Zkittlez is not one of them. These Lágrimas del Sol profiles have a similar aroma. Each is 100% cannabis derived, captured with cryogenic aroma capture, 100% solventless.

Bubblegum and Rainbow Sherbert x Nerdz are the closest for berry candy. Guava Runtz brings tropical guava and citrus, and Starburst adds a sweet and sour creamy candy note.
