Mataro Blue

Kannabia Mataró Blue ranks among the most challenging phenotypes in the company's lineup, created by crossing three distinct indica-dominant varieties. The genetic foundation draws from a particularly potent indica phenotype of Blueberry, selected for its abundant production capacity while retaining the strain's signature characteristics: compact growth, rapid completion, and distinctive blue coloration. The second parent is an authentic Afghan landrace from Mazar-i-Sharif, prized for exceptional resin accumulation and substantial yields. The third contributor is Kannabia's Black Domina, which promotes lateral branching and increased vertical growth compared to earlier generation crosses, particularly in outdoor environments or indoor setups using seven-to-ten-litre containers. Despite this added height potential, the plant develops a prominent main cola that becomes increasingly dense as flowering progresses, with overlapping flower clusters.

Trichome production begins immediately upon entering bloom, eventually creating a glossy resin layer resembling caramel droplets. Initial trichome heads display a lime-green hue, transitioning to white and golden tones as maturity approaches, accompanied by a powerful, penetrating odor. Cold conditions trigger blue-purple pigmentation shifts. Cloning material develops robustly, with well-defined node spacing and notably large, robust foliage. The variety handles substantial feeding schedules and demonstrates strong drought resilience. Indoor cultivation benefits significantly from high-intensity lighting (800W/m²), with a suggested two-week vegetative period to maximize returns. Hydroponic cultivation yields particularly remarkable results with accelerated maturation. Outdoor performance excels with plants spreading across multiple square meters; sturdy support structures are essential for managing bud mass. Strategic pruning produces bushes reaching up to 2 meters. Flowering requires 58-65 days, with early September harvest timing in most climates. Enhanced flavors emerge with carbohydrate supplementation during final weeks. The aroma profile combines deep, complex tones with subtle bitter orange undertones. The effect arrives quickly with an elevating, buoyant sensation before grounding into a stable state. THC levels test very high. Ice-extracted hash demonstrates exceptional potency.
