Touted as the “seed that lets you taste the rainbow”, Z is very popular in the plants circle. Also known as Skittles or Skittlez, this seed is very mysterious because nobody knows the exact combination involved. Z is most famous for its taste and aroma, but everything takes a backseat when you talk about the origins of this wonderful seed. Loved by both recreational and medical plants users, Z has made a special place for itself in the history of plants seeds.
1. History of the Z Seed
The history of Z is a little fuzzy since the details of the breeder who came up with this exceptional seed are relatively unknown. According to several sources, Z was a product of combined research of both Flavor Hogz and 3rd Gen Family. However, other sources state that Z was a product of the breeder ‘Dying Breed Seeds’. Regardless of where the seed came from, Z can make your heart race in more ways than you can imagine. An Ind-dominant seed with traces of Grapefruit and Grape Ape, Z was produced after crossing the resulting seed with another unknown seed.
The origins of the unknown seed are so secretive that nobody in the plants industry can tell you exactly how Z was produced. Nevertheless, whether it’s due to the secrecy or the spectacular taste, Z will keep you guessing. Thanks to its unique combination, aroma, and taste, Z managed to bag the first place at the Emerald Cup help in 2016. It also grabbed first place at the Plants Cup 2015 in the Ind category.
Interestingly, Z displays a heritage that’s very similar to other seed varieties such as the OG Kush, Skunk, and Berry. That’s perhaps why it’s referred to as the rainbow. Now, if you’ve ever wondered why this seed resembles the name of candy, I’ll tell you why. Like Skittles – candy every kid loves – Z will burst into different flavors as soon you as you taste it. It’s a powerful blend of berry, grape, and a few other fruits, and a strong candy aftertaste that makes you reach out for more. It’s like treating yourself to candies without worrying about the calories every day! It’s not all candy either, because the grapefruit cuts through the sweetness like a hot knife on butter.
The balanced taste, sweet aroma that sometimes gives out herbal fragrances, and the beautiful colors that this seed puts out while growing is what makes it a champion. It also has traces of citrus and some sourness in between. It may confuse you, but it will never disappoint you. Although Z is Ind-dominant, you’ll be surprised to know that the effects start off as a Sat. As I said, she will keep you guessing, and by the time you truly appreciate this seed, you’ll probably have nothing left because it’s a pain to buy the seeds. Seeds of the original seed are very hard to get unless you know Flavor Hogz or a close insider.
Note that Z has very little levels of genetic variation. This indtes that the seed is stable and also hails from a breeding line that’s pure. In other words, the offspring of this seed will boast of characteristics or phenotypes that are consistent. Many seeds have high levels of variation in their genetics that make it very difficult to be bred further. The resulting offspring will also have different characteristics that aren’t similar to the parent plant.
2. History of Z Auto
At Fastbuds, we love challenges. Anything unique and secretive – we’re all up for it. And if there’s a seed that’s not available to the general public, you bet that we will do everything to make it accessible to the general population. After all, plants is meant to be enjoyed by you, me and everyone else. There are many flavors that taste like desserts, but nothing can come close to our Z that’s crossed with the original and our own unique auto. So, now you have a yummy seed that’s not only available easily but also grows very fast! Auto genetics, you see!
I gotta tell you right away – don’t bother with this seed if you only have a closet to grow plants. This girl will grow super big, despite what people think about autos. After years of research, we create seeds that grow super fast and return humungous amounts of sweet, sweet buds. The original Z had a strength of about 15% but our Z boasts of strength that extends to more than 22%. After legalization in California, it has become easy to make such seeds available to everyone. What makes this seed so special is the way it grows. From huge colas to neon-orange pistils, you’ll see it all.
Don’t confuse this seed with the candy Skittles although it tastes like one. This is one of the sweetest seeds in our arsenal. The overpowering aroma and taste of Z which sometimes smells like chocolate and sometimes like citrus with a little sourness in between will make you appreciate life even more. Although Z contains very little Extract, it’s a hit among medical plants users as well. And that’s because strength can also help with your illnesses. If you’re suffering from chronic pain, asthma, glaucoma or even back pain, Z will heal you.
Just remember to take deep puffs, though. Fastbuds’ Z is unique because it gives you both Sat and Ind, but it’s mostly Ind. Make sure that you partake only after late afternoon. You’ll be able to focus on every task that requires attention to detail, but once the cerebral buzz fades away, the Ind takes over. You will focus more on things even if you don’t intend to. Contemplation, introspection and just generally thinking about life – yep, Z will force you to think a lot. Experiencing both physical and mental effects is rare, especially when it’s an Ind-dominant seed, but Z will surprise and surpass your expectations even in this area.
You will not be glued to the couch, but it will totally relax you and make you forget about the tasks that you were supposed to do. The Sat balances the Ind perfectly, and you really can’t ask for anything more. It’s also amazing for a night out with your closest pals, but watch out because it might just be one of your craziest nights ever!
3. How to Grow Z
As mentioned already, this girl grows huge. One thing you need to focus on is the container. Get plastic pots with few draining holes and you’re doomed. But, if you take the time to drill a few more holes, you might be able to make it. I recommend fabric pots over plastic pots any day. Not only will the container have excellent drainage, but it helps the root system become strong too. You could also try growing in Airpots. If soil is not your thing, do your research on hydroponics because you’ll get splendid results even without soil.
Don’t skimp on the fertilizers on this one. She likes a hefty dose every week, so prepare ahead. If you feed her with a good supply of nutrients every week, she will reward you for all your hard work. Even growing organically is a good idea since it will enhance the taste drastically. If you are looking for the best of both worlds, then you should consider using coco-coir as your growing medium. Coco-coir offers most of the advantages of soil and hydro cultivation techniques, is extremely beginner-friendly, and is absolutely perfect for the Z auto seed (as well as most others).
What does coco-coir offer over soil or hydroponic growing methods?
It’s not that coco-coir does anything really new or different, it’s just that it kind of combines the best parts of both. Coco-coir growing medium is the finely ground outer shaggy layer that covers certain types of coconuts. For the longest time it was considered a pure waste product, but in the last decade or so it has gained huge popularity not just in the world of plants cultivation, but also in the wider horticulture community. Let’s quickly run through the pros of coco-coir:
- Coco-coir is a totally inert medium, making it perfect for hydroponic applications, while also acting in the same way as soil does in terms of providing support and protection to the zone.
- It is 100% organic, totally renewable, and would be a waste product if not used in this application.
- It is much less complex than using a traditional hydroponic setup.
- Offers much more root zone oxygenation than soil-based methods.
- Can be used in a fully hydroponic way, with synthetic nutrients as the main food source for your crop. Alternatively, it can be mixed with a super soil mix to increase the oxygenation and moisture retention qualities.
- Almost every single large nutrient company now has a line of pure coco-coir nutrients, and their own mix of coco-coir ready to be used out of the bag.
- It holds a large amount of moisture but is also extremely easy to flush. This is great if you are having any nutrient issues, as a quick flush can get everything back on track.
- It is fully reusable after every run, and just needs a good flush and then a light dose of nutrients to be ready for the next batch of seedlings.
- Can be used for many different watering methods, from hand feeding to drip.
- It is much cheaper to set up than traditional hydro systems while offering the same benefits in terms of return size and rate of growth.
So yeah, coco-coir is amazing and what we almost always suggest for novice growers looking to switch over from soil-based methods to hydro. Even experienced cultivators have started to switch from pure hydro systems thanks to the ease of maintenance that coco-coir offers. It also makes an amazing amendment to any organic growing medium. As mentioned above, it works perfectly as a mix with super soil. While organic growing techniques may not return as much as hydroponics, they do offer a better final product in terms of flavorene production and smoke quality. Most people believe that organic plants doesn’t come close to plants grown using expensive nutrients, but I assure you that the opposite is true. Go organic and see the difference. You’ll seriously never go back to chemicals again.
On the very first week, you’ll see that Z likes to grow fast. As she starts flowering, the frosts keep coming, almost giving her a frosted candy-like appearance. The colas grow so big that you’ll wonder how to return them. Chunky flowers and frosts everywhere – truly a treat to the eyes. The colas are as massive as American footballs. And the fragrance…ah, you have to grow it to believe it! She’s really that good.
The colors ranging from orange to green to little specks of white in between will give her a unique appearance. It also has traces of purple in her array of colors. While other plants plants love Cal-Mag at the later stages of growth, you’ll do better off if you start early with this girl. Most growers supply calcium only when the plant asks for it. In simple terms, calcium is given only when the plant displays nutrient deficiencies, but Z will thank you if you start from day 1. You can enjoy Z by either combusting the flower or make an extract out of it.
What makes the Z perfect for extracts is the sticky, juicy ok. The flavor taste so good that you’ll recognize the taste of lemons and berries. It’s also recommended that you get a carbon filter when growing this girl. It’s a great feeling to have a room smelling like chocolate, candies and everything sweet, but you don’t want to get into trouble if you’re residing in a location that hasn’t made plants legal yet. One last thing – if you have ADD, try this seed. I promise that you won’t regret it.
