Watermelon Z is an indica-dominant hybrid bred by crossing Watermelon (or Watermelon OG) with Zkittlez (sometimes called “The Original Z”). Some batches include cross-breeding with other parent strains for regional variations, but the core lineage remains Watermelon × Zkittlez, giving this strain its signature sweet, fruity flavors and relaxing, uplifting effects.
