Skittles is an Indica hybrid marijuana strain bred from a reported mix of Grape Ape and Grapefruit, crossed with an undisclosed strain. This sweet, tropical-flavored cultivar made its debut in the market during the 2010s. According to its origin story, the strain came from an individual known as Gas Station Bob. The growers Fields and Tony Mendo, operating as Terp Hogz, along with 3rd Gen Family’s Brandon Parker, played a significant role in popularizing Skittles by cultivating the strain, entering it into competitions, and creating new crosses.
Skittles has earned accolades over the years, including 1st Place at the 2016 Emerald Cup and the 2023 King of Z Hill, and has placed in several Cannabis Cups in San Francisco and Michigan. Terp Hogz, 3rd Gen Fam, and other breeders continue to refine and enhance this varietal. The strain features medium-sized, spongy green colas with a sweet, tropical blend of fruit flavors. Skittles is known for its calming effects, helping consumers feel focused, alert, and happy while providing a relaxing experience suitable for any time of day.
