Lemon Zkittlez Auto is a limited-edition citrus-candy autoflower from Growers Choice. It pairs Zkittlez, famous for its fruity candy sweetness, with Lemon Skunk Auto, which contributes sharp citrus, fast autoflowering genetics and the sturdy, easygoing nature of a classic Skunk line.
The result is a vigorous plant with a loud, long-lasting aroma and 24–26% THC. The breeder lists CBD as medium, a little higher than most modern dessert strains, which helps round out the experience.
Lemon Zkittlez Auto stays compact at 60–100 cm (24–39 in) indoors and outdoors, yet Growers Choice lists indoor yields of 550–650 g/m² (1.80–2.13 oz/ft²). Outdoors, plants produce around 50–100 g (1.8–3.5 oz) each. It adapts to indoor tents, outdoor gardens and greenhouses alike.
Flavor and Effects of Lemon Zkittlez Auto
The scent hangs in the air long after you close the jar. Lemon Skunk brings a zesty, slightly sour lemon peel, and Zkittlez layers on pronounced candy sweetness. Together they smell like a bag of lemon drops opened next to a freshly cut citrus tree.
On the palate, sweetness hits first, followed by a sharp citrus edge that keeps every pull lively. The candy and lemon notes stay present from first draw to last, without fading into generic smoke.
The high is energetic and creative, a good fit for daytime projects, walks and social events. Compact phenotypes lean more hybrid, mixing the head buzz with a heavier body feel. It is not a couchlock strain unless you overdo it, in which case the relaxing side takes over.
Growing Lemon Zkittlez Auto Indoors and Outdoors
No light switch is required: Lemon Zkittlez Auto starts flowering on its own. Growers Choice recommends a 20/4 schedule indoors (18/6 also works) and a container larger than 11 L (2.9 gal), since more root room generally means bigger harvests. Indoors, the full cycle runs about 75 days from seed to harvest.
Outdoors, plant in soil and give it as much direct sun as possible; expect around 100 days from seed to harvest. The Skunk heritage makes it vigorous and forgiving, and high mold resistance helps in damp spells. Light LST in the first weeks keeps the canopy flat and lets side branches fill out without slowing the plant down.
Indoor versus outdoor comes down to priorities. In a tent, the 20/4 schedule and a roomy pot push yields toward the top of the 550–650 g/m² (1.80–2.13 oz/ft²) range, and the short height leaves plenty of space for lights. Outdoors, the plant needs a longer run and stays small, so it shines as a quick balcony or garden crop that can be sown in late spring and harvested before the weather turns.
