Blue Zushi
Blue Zushi
Also known as: Blueberry Zushi
Overview
Blue Zushi is an indica-dominant hybrid cannabis strain created by crossing Zkittlez and Kush Mints. Originally bred by Ten Co (TenCo), a California-based breeder, in 2019, Blue Zushi is known for its frosted-over nug structure and impressive THC testing. Users report it feels roughly 60% indica and 40% sativa, resulting in predominantly calming effects with some cerebral uplift. Specifically, Blue Zushi is bred from Zkittlez crossed with Kush Mints #11, creating what many consider a masterpiece of cannabis breeding that combines the best traits of both parent strains.
The Zkittlez parent strain contributes candy-like flavors and a unique berry profile, while Kush Mints, bred by Seed Junky Genetics, adds refreshing mint flavors with earthy undertones and balanced hybrid effects. It's an elite, clone-only hybrid known for its creamy gas and sweet exotic candy funk flavors. Blue Zushi achieved an exceptional 2.6% total terpene content, one of the highest levels Dutch Passion geneticists have ever seen. The strain's excellence was officially recognized when it won Best Overall Strain and Best Tasting at the 2023 Zalympix Awards in Los Angeles.

Growing Information
Blue Zushi has a relatively short flowering time of 8 to 9 weeks when grown indoors, while outdoor cultivation should expect harvest in October. Indoor growers can yield between 500-750 g/m² (1.64 to 1.97 oz/ft²), while outdoor growers can expect 600-1000 grams per plant (1.3-2.2 lbs per plant). Plants typically reach heights of 80-100 cm (2.6-3.3 feet) indoors and 150-200 cm (5-6.5 feet) outdoors. This strain is suitable for both novice and experienced growers, thriving in temperate climates for both indoor and outdoor cultivation. Blue Zushi has high mold resistance and does not like direct rain or high humidity, especially during late flowering. The strain does relatively well in colder temperatures, making it suitable for indoor winter grows.
