From our grow
Notes from the room it grew in.
This is the one in the clip on our homepage, a Zkittlez cola under the lights with the trichomes already frosting over. It came back at 2.10% total terpenes, near the top of what our rooms have produced, and it came in at 8.27% moisture, which is right where a cured jar should sit. Crack one and you get the candy first, exactly what people walk in asking for by name. What surprised us is the panel underneath. Caryophyllene edged out myrcene and limonene by a hair, so there is real pepper sitting under all that fruit.
Terpenes · 2.10% total
What you're smelling.
Terpenes are the aroma oils in cannabis, and they steer how a strain feels as much as how it smells. Most strains have one terpene out in front. This one has three bunched together inside a tenth of a percent, which is why it smells like more than one thing at once.
Caryophyllene
0.44%Dominant · Cracked pepper & clove
The same compound that makes black pepper bite. It is the odd one in the lineup because your body treats it a bit like a cannabinoid rather than just an aroma, and it reads as settling. On a strain named after candy, it is the last thing you expect to find leading the panel.
Myrcene
0.40%Overripe mango & earth
The terpene most tied to the classic heavy indica body feel, and at 0.40% there is plenty of it. This is the half of the profile doing the work once the first stretch is over.
Limonene
0.33%Citrus peel & sweet
The oil that sprays out of a lemon peel when you bend it. Together with the grapefruit side of the genetics, this is where most of the candy impression actually comes from.
Linalool
0.27%Lavender & soft floral
The lavender note, and more of it here than most of our shelf carries. It rounds off the citrus edge and is a fair part of why this one feels calmer than the THC figure reads.
Also on the panel: cis-ocimene at 0.23%, humulene at 0.17%, isopulegol at 0.11%, and smaller amounts of beta-pinene, alpha-bisabolol, alpha-pinene, and trans-nerolidol.
Effects, honestly
How it lands.
The opening is friendlier than 27.84% suggests. Limonene and linalool carry the first twenty minutes or so, bright and a little floral, and people who expected a wall usually relax somewhere in there. That is the fruit half of the profile talking.
Then the myrcene and the caryophyllene take over together and it gets heavy. Body first, and it keeps going. This is an evening flower at this potency, and at 2.10% terpenes it hits harder than the percentage alone would tell you, because the whole panel is pulling the same direction. If your tolerance is low, take less than you planned and give it the full twenty minutes before deciding anything.
