DOJA's Neon Wormz: A Zkittlez-Line Cross Built for Fuel, Not Candy
DOJA made its name mainstreaming RS11 and Giraffe Pussy. Neon Wormz is fully in-house genetics — Sour SFX crossed onto DOJA's own ZBX2 — and it's running diesel and citrus instead of the candy notes the brand's Zkittlez lineage usually leans on.

DOJA — the Hollywood-rooted operation also known as Doja Pak or Doja Exclusive — spent its early years mainstreaming other breeders' work, taking RS11, Giraffe Pussy, and Permanent Marker from underground cuts to menu staples. Since 2020 the brand has pushed almost entirely into its own genetics, and Neon Wormz is one of the newer results, bred entirely in-house.
The lineage is Sour SFX crossed onto ZBX2, and the second half of that cross is the part worth sitting with. ZBX2 is already a DOJA in-house line — The Original Z (Zkittlez) crossed with Strawberry Zkillato — so Neon Wormz isn't licensed genetics wearing a new name, it's a proprietary strain bred onto a proprietary strain. Sour SFX supplies the half that doesn't come from the Zkittlez family tree: sour, diesel-forward fuel notes that push the finished flower away from the candy register most Z-line crosses default to.
That shows up immediately in the jar. The nose runs bright citrus and sour diesel up front, with an earthy, faintly spicy undertone sitting underneath — gas and fruit trading the lead rather than one burying the other. Buds finish dense and resin-heavy, running deep green through purple, and DOJA's 8–10 week flowering window gives the plant enough time to pack that resin on before harvest.
Recent batch listings put THC anywhere from the mid-20s to the low 30s, with several pulls landing at 28–32%. The effect tracks as balanced rather than sedating — stimulating enough to hold up in daylight, without the jittery edge that citrus-heavy sativas can carry — a cross built to split the difference between a diesel dominant strain and a fruit-forward one instead of picking a side.
Distribution right now runs heaviest through Michigan, where Neon Wormz is stocked across House of Dank's multi-location chain alongside independents like The Wellflower and King of Budz. It's also turning up on Massachusetts menus and the occasional California shelf. Not the strain DOJA built its name on, but proof the fully in-house genetics can hold a room without borrowing anyone else's cut.
The verdict
A fully proprietary cross that swaps DOJA's usual dessert-candy register for sour diesel and citrus — stacked hardest in Michigan right now, with THC pulls running 25–32% across recent batches.

You'll see it listed as Trangie Ting on half the menus in California. The real name is Tangie Ting — BLEM's citrus sativa built off the actual Tangie lineage, with a second parent the brand has never publicly named.
