Mata Hari is a modern hybrid-indica cultivar derived from a three-way cross between Calizahr, Alpine Rocket, and Purpurea Ticinensis. Developed as a versatile selection for various environments, this strain requires a moderate level of cultivation skill to reach its potential. Growers can anticipate a high yield from this variety, which reaches maturity after a 60-day flowering period.

The chemical expression of Mata Hari is complex, led by a dominant profile of terpinolene, followed closely by myrcene, pinene, and limonene. Beneath these primary notes, the profile incorporates caryophyllene, ocimene, beta-pinene, and humulene. The sequence continues with subtle contributions from linalool, bisabolol, guaiol, alpha-terpinene, nerolidol, and gamma-terpinene. This broad spectrum of compounds creates a distinct aromatic and flavor experience defined by the specific hierarchy of these fourteen terpenes.

As a THC-dominant strain, Mata Hari is sought after for its ability to induce states of relaxation, calm, and mental focus. These therapeutic qualities make it a frequent choice for the management of pain, stress, and sleep-related concerns. The influence of its genetics extends to its progeny, most notably represented by the offspring variety Red Dawn.
