Matterhorn is a modern hybrid-indica whose exact origins are undocumented. While its lineage remains unverified and incomplete, the strain is identified as a derivative of Kaya's Koffee BX3. Because breeders have not publicly confirmed a broader breeding history, the developmental path of this variety remains a mystery within the current record.
The terpene profile for Matterhorn follows a distinct hierarchy, starting with myrcene as the most dominant component, followed by limonene, caryophyllene, linalool, humulene, beta-pinene, bisabolol, guaiol, pinene, ocimene, camphene, and finally terpinolene. This complex arrangement suggests a nuanced sensory experience, though consumers should note that its THC content is an estimated 18% with an estimated 0.01% CBD. These values are based on averaged industry figures rather than specific analytical batches, and the total cannabinoid potency is subject to natural variance.
Matterhorn produces effects characterized by a combination of relaxation and focus, making it a functional choice for those managing pain, stress, or sleep. The plant reaches maturity after a 65-day flowering period and is rated for moderate cultivation difficulty. It performs well in both indoor and outdoor environments and is noted for producing a high yield. There are currently no recorded offspring for this strain, as its genetic legacy remains untraced.
