Mataro Blue

Mataro Blue is a Spanish Indica-dominant hybrid strain whose creation is accredited to Kannabia Seeds, an incredibly popular and famous Spanish cannabis company that has created a number of modern strains. This incredibly rare hybrid is the product of a hard-to-pull-off three-way cross between Black Domina, Mazar I Sharif, and Blue Monster. The result of this ingenious genetic experiment is an incredibly stable hybrid with a bounty of aromas and flavors coupled with beyond-high-yielding genetics. Mataro Blue has taken home a number of prizes throughout its history in a number of categories. In 2012 it was the first prize in the "Medical ‘Indica’" category at the TreatingYourself Expo in Toronto Canada. In 2013 its physical appearance and structure earned it the 3rd place prize at Copa Cannabica Axarquia in Velez Malaga, Spain. In 2016 its rosin took home first prize at the Lift Expo in Toronto, Canada.

The effects of Mataro Blue are not well documented, but based on its history of winning awards we have to assume that the praise surrounding on the internet is valid. At the beginning of the high, you should expect to experience a bit of a lifting sensation that’s accompanied by a slightly building sensation that takes root behind the eyes. This strain pulls your mood up substantially and is great when consumed before a night out on the town with your friends, as it will keep self-doubt and insecurity at bay to ensure you have a wonderful time. In addition to these happy heady effects, this hybrid brings in a number of relaxing effects to work a full-body massage on you. All of the aches, tensions, and pains slowly evaporate as the building sensation finally flows over and spreads from your head throughout the rest of your body. Although you won’t be put to sleep by this potent hybrid, you may find yourself almost too tired or relaxed to stand up. This potent flower is best consumed in the evening or late afternoon hours as its potent relaxing abilities might have you searching for a comfy nap spot in the middle of the day if smoked too early. 

Because of Kannabia’s popularity amongst growers in Europe, its seeds are often the ones chosen for home-grows by medical cannabis patients and recreational smokers alike. Indoors, this incredible plant can grow quite tall, but proper trimming will keep it short and stout without hindering its yield. The flowering period is somewhere between 58-65 days, and it often yields up to 600 grams of consumable flower per square meter of plant material. Outdoors this plant flowers somewhere in late September or early October yielding up to 800 grams per plant, often growing up to and sometimes over 2 meters tall.
