Blue Zushi
An indica-dominant hybrid crossing Zkittlez with Kush Mints—delivering fruity candy sweetness with a creamy, minty gassy finish
What is Blue Zushi?
Blue Zushi represents exceptional breeding from The Tenco, combining two legendary cultivars—Zkittlez and Kush Mints. This premium indica-dominant hybrid delivers the best of both worlds: tropical fruit candy sweetness from the Zkittlez side meets the creamy, minty, gassy sophistication of Kush Mints.
The result is a trichome-drenched powerhouse that delivers complex berry and tropical fruit notes overlaid with creamy mint and subtle gas, plus earthy kush undertones on the finish. Zkittlez genetics bring vibrant fruit-forward terpenes and stunning bag appeal with purple and blue hues, while Kush Mints contributes the dense structure, potent effects, and that signature creamy-minty profile that made it a staple in top-tier gardens. Blue Zushi is the kind of strain that stops conversations when the jar opens and rewards growers who appreciate both flavor complexity and resin production. Sourcing an authentic breeder cut that's been HLVD tested negative ensures you're starting with verified genetics, and a healthy rooted clone gives you the foundation for a successful run.
Terpene Profile
The Blue Zushi strain terpenes create an aromatic complexity that bridges fruit-forward sweetness with creamy gas. The overall nose presents as tropical berry and grape candy from the Zkittlez side, layered with creamy mint and subtle gas from the Kush Mints genetics, with earthy kush undertones and a hint of floral notes on the finish. This strain is unmistakably loud from the moment you open the jar.
Growing Blue Zushi
Blue Zushi rewards growers with dense, resinous colas that develop stunning purple and blue hues in the final weeks. The strain exhibits a moderate 2-2.5x stretch during flower and typically finishes in 8 to 9 weeks (56-63 days). When topped early and trained properly, the Blue Zushi strain yield ranges between 2 and 3 lbs per light, with exceptional bag appeal and trichome coverage that makes it ideal for hash production.
