Original Z

The Original Z (also known as 'Z', and historically as Zkittlez) is a legendary, terpene-driven indica-dominant hybrid developed by Northern California breeders TerpHogZ and 3rd Gen Family. In 2023, the name was officially changed to 'The Original Z' following a trademark settlement with a candy company. It is celebrated as a modern benchmark for dessert-style cannabis, winning 1st Place at the 2016 Emerald Cup and Best Indica at the 2015 High Times Cannabis Cup. The strain delivers a balanced experience — stimulating the mind while relaxing the body — anchored by an iconic candy-sweet, tropical fruit-salad aroma.
