Mataro Blue is a modern hybrid-indica cultivar developed from the crossing of an Afghanistan indica landrace and the strain Blue Monster. The breeding of this variety focuses on balancing robust genetic traits to produce a high-yielding plant that performs well in both indoor and outdoor cultivation environments. With an efficient flowering period of 53 days, the strain is considered to be of moderate difficulty for growers, offering reliable production potential alongside its specific genetic heritage.

The chemical profile of Mataro Blue is defined by a complex arrangement of terpenes, led by a dominant presence of myrcene, followed by terpinolene, caryophyllene, and pinene. Intermediate concentrations of limonene, ocimene, beta-pinene, and humulene contribute to its aromatic complexity, while minor notes of linalool, bisabolol, and guaiol round out the final profile. This specific arrangement of botanical compounds informs the strain’s sensory experience, characterized by a multifaceted olfactory and flavor profile derived from these eleven identified terpenes.

As a THC-dominant hybrid, Mataro Blue is recognized for inducing feelings of relaxation, calm, and focus in users. These qualities make it a frequent selection for the management of pain, stress, and sleep-related concerns. The impact of the strain on the cannabis landscape is evidenced by its role as a parent for notable offspring, most significantly contributing to the lineage of Blue 2.0.
