Blue Zushi Automatic is a robust blend of Zkittlez—a cross between Grapefruit and Grape Ape—and Blue Sherbet, which itself introduces Sunset Sherbet, Blueberry, and Girl Scout Cookies genetics. The result is a 60% indica hybrid prized for its dense frosty buds and mellow high.
These plants are extremely compact but still capable of producing high yields. As an autoflowering strain, there’s no need to worry about light schedules or timing as these plants will begin to flower on their own after only a few weeks making for a hassle-free grow. However, this trait also means that this strain is a poor choice for most advanced growing techniques.
Blue Zushi Automatic cannabis seeds grow into extremely compact plants with short lateral branches and tight internodal spacing. These stocky plants are covered in dense vegetation making airflow a priority. Growers can expect a single massive cola to cover the top half of the plant while the lower branches support smaller, though equally dense, buds.
Indoors, Blue Zushi Automatic plants typically grow to heights of 25-80 cm and can produce yields of 250-325 grams per square metre throughout their 60 to 65-day flowering cycle. If grown outside, these plants can grow slightly larger but are still quite compact with an expected height of only 35-100 cm. Despite this, they can still produce 150-250 grams per plant.
The flowers from these plants are dense and frosty buds with a truly striking appearance. A deep green background sits beneath hints of blue and purple and it’s all coated in glistening trichomes and bright orange pistils. The main cola is the star of the show here, but even the lower branches will develop large flower clusters thanks to the shorter internodal spacing. The entire plant is covered in dense vegetation and trimming these plants can be a chore.
As an autoflowering strain, these plants don’t require any special attention and will simply begin to blossom on their own after a few weeks. While that makes growing them a hassle-free experience, it severely limits their compatibility with advanced growing techniques. Their short vegetation period, combined with their tight internodal spacing, make these plants a poor candidate for mainlining or a screen of green (SCROG) setup. On top of this, the lateral branches are too short for lollipopping to be effective. However, thanks to their incredibly short stature, these plants can find a home in a sea of green (SOG) grow.
As they begin to flower, Blue Zushi Automatic plants give off an incredibly strong fragrance of sweet berries and candy with subtle citrus undertones while hints of herbal earthiness develop as the plants mature. Despite their small stature, these plants give off a powerful odour which privacy-minded growers will need to contend with.
After the buds have been properly cured, they adopt a luscious aroma of sweet blueberries, fruity candy, and tangy citrus. These sharp notes are perfectly balanced by a softer herbal and earthy background that rounds out the profile. The taste is just as impressive; sweet and fruity, with pronounced berry and citrus notes that jump out almost immediately. As you exhale, earthy and creamy undertones with a lingering candy sweetness linger on the tongue leaving a smooth, sweet finish with a refreshing citrus kick.
The effects of Blue Zushi Automatic are as potent as the aroma. Things kick off with a quick euphoric onset with heightened creativity and focus which slowly gives way to a calming, body-melting relaxation that soothes stress and anxiety. While the initial cerebral boost may have you looking for something to do, the powerful relaxation means you shouldn’t stray too far from the nearest couch. This strain is a great pick for unwinding with a movie at the end of a long day.
