Zero Gravity strain guide
Zero Gravity is a hybrid from North Genetics, a cross of Holy Grail Kush and Smurfzilla. People describe a lemon, berry and pine smell and an upbeat, giggly feel, though the name has been used for other strains too.
Where does Zero Gravity come from?
The best-documented Zero Gravity comes from North Genetics, which crossed Holy Grail Kush as the mother with its own Smurfzilla as the father. Holy Grail Kush is DNA Genetics' cross of Kosher Kush and OG #18, and Smurfzilla is North Genetics' mix of Gorilla Glue #4 and Smurf Berry.
Sources disagree a little on the balance: one calls it an even 50/50 hybrid, the breeder's listing an indica-leaning one. The name also covers other, unrelated crosses, including a GMO and Oreoz version, so a Zero Gravity on a shelf may not be the North Genetics plant.
What does Zero Gravity smell and taste like?
Reviewers mention lemon, berry and pine, and growers describe a sour, citrusy flavour. The breeder's listing adds herbal, earthy and woody notes with a skunky sweetness underneath.
We couldn't find published terpene results for Zero Gravity, so we're not going to guess. If your product lists terpenes on the label, that's the best guide to what's in your batch.
Zero Gravity effects: what people report
People most often describe Zero Gravity as euphoric, creative and energetic. One grower describes an uplifting start that turns unfocused and giggly, with everything seeming funny.
These are experiences people report, not promises, and there are only a small number of reviews. How it feels depends on the product, how much you have and your tolerance. Dry mouth is the most common complaint, and some people mention feeling paranoid or anxious.
How strong is Zero Gravity?
Published figures for the North Genetics version sit around 13% to 21% THC, which is moderate next to many newer strains. Listings that lump all Zero Gravity versions together show a much wider spread, which is another sign the name means different plants.
Go by the THC and CBD numbers on your package. If you're new, start small and give it time. Our guide to reading cannabis labels explains the numbers.
Buying Zero Gravity in Canada
Because several different crosses share this name, check the label for the producer and any lineage they list before assuming it's the Holy Grail Kush and Smurfzilla plant.
Look at the THC, CBD and packaging date as well, since fresher flower keeps more of its citrus smell.
Zero Gravity vs Kosher Kush
Kosher Kush is Zero Gravity's grandparent through Holy Grail Kush, so they share Kush roots, but they land in different places. Kosher Kush is a heavy indica known for an earthy, fuelly Kush smell and a deeply relaxed feel, and it often tests higher in THC. Zero Gravity is lighter and brighter, with lemon and berry notes and reports that lean upbeat and giggly. If you want a classic heavy Kush, go with Kosher Kush. If you'd like something livelier with a hint of that background, try Zero Gravity.
