Velcroz strain guide
Velcroz is a hybrid of Blue Flame OG and Blue Zushi, and a fairly new name without much published history. People know it for a blueberry and gas smell with a woody, peppery finish, and for a fast lift that settles into a heavy, relaxed body feel.
Where does Velcroz come from?
The sources that cover Velcroz agree on the cross: Blue Flame OG and Blue Zushi, the fruity, minty strain from the Zushi family. One producer listing from British Columbia says the name comes from the way the flavour clings once it's lit.
Who first bred it is not well documented. Don't confuse it with Velcro, a separate strain usually described as a Gorilla Glue cross.
What does Velcroz smell and taste like?
Velcroz smells sweet and fruity, with blueberry up front and gassy diesel, pine and earthy Kush behind it. The flavour is often described as blueberry Kush with woody pine and a spicy, black pepper exhale.
Published terpene data is thin. One product listing names limonene, myrcene and pinene among its terpenes, alongside others, which fits the citrus-fruit, earthy and piney notes people describe. Your label is the best guide to the batch in front of you.
Velcroz effects: what people report
People most often describe Velcroz as euphoric and uplifting at first, with a quick start, then calm and heavy in the body as it settles. Reviewers also mention feeling tingly, happy and creative, and some say it turned sleepy later on.
These are experiences people report, not promises, and there aren't many reviews yet. How it feels depends on the product, how much you have and your own tolerance. Sources also disagree on its balance: one calls it an even hybrid, another indica-leaning.
How strong is Velcroz?
Velcroz is a very high-THC strain. Listings put it anywhere from about 25% to 32% THC, with very little CBD, and one reviewer reported an even higher result.
That's a lot, even for experienced people. Start with a small amount and give it time before having more. The numbers on your label are for that batch, and they matter more than the strain name. Our guide to THCA vs THC explains how the THC number on a label is worked out.
Buying Velcroz in Canada
Velcroz isn't widely grown, so there may be only one or two producers' versions around at a time. Check the label for the Blue Flame OG and Blue Zushi parentage, and don't mix it up with Velcro.
Check the THC and CBD numbers and the packaging date before you buy, since fresher flower keeps more of its blueberry smell.
Velcroz vs Blue Zushi
Blue Zushi is one of Velcroz's parents, and you can smell it in the blueberry sweetness. Blue Zushi leans fruit, flowers and a cool hint of mint, while Velcroz adds gas, pine and pepper from its Blue Flame OG side. Both are described as relaxing, though Velcroz is reported as heavier in the body and is often listed higher in THC. If you want sweet and fruity, start with Blue Zushi. If you like more gas and spice with your fruit, try Velcroz.
