Lemon Cherry Zkittlez strain guide
Lemon Cherry Zkittlez, often shortened to LCZ, is a high-THC hybrid from the Zkittlez family. It smells like lemon and cherry candy, and people mostly describe it as happy, chatty and calm. Its exact parents depend on who you ask.
Where does Lemon Cherry Zkittlez come from?
Every account agrees that Zkittlez is one parent. The other side is not settled. One strain database lists it as Lemon Cherry Terdz crossed with Zkittlez, bred by Clout King. Grow Diaries describes it as Lemon Cherry Gelato crossed with Zkittlez, and another database ties it to Backpackboyz, a Bay Area grower, while calling the parents unknown.
So the honest answer is that the breeder and the lemon-cherry parent are not well documented. Lemon Cherry Zkittlez is also a market name, and different growers may sell different crosses under it.
What does Lemon Cherry Zkittlez smell and taste like?
The name gives it away: bright lemon and sweet cherry, wrapped in the fruity candy smell Zkittlez is known for. Some batches carry berry notes and a touch of diesel underneath.
One strain database and Grow Diaries both list linalool, caryophyllene and limonene as its main terpenes. Linalool adds a soft floral side, caryophyllene a peppery bite and limonene the citrus. The taste is usually sweet and tangy, with lemon up front.
