MATARO BLUE

The most difficult genotype in our entire catalogue is a three-way cross featuring the best of several predominantly indica strains. One of these is one of the most indica-rich Blueberries that we have, with a very high yield and maintaining all the properties that this variety is known for (short height, fast flowering and a bluish tone). Another of the components is an original Afghan (Mazar-i-Sharif), a very good resin producer that also gives a generous harvest. The end ingredient in this indica cocktail is our Black Domina, which gives it a more ramified structure when grown outdoors or indoors in seven-to-ten-litre pots, and more height than the results of the first crosses. Even so, the plant forms a thick central bud, hardening because of the number of flowers that form overlapping bunches. The plant starts to form crystals as soon as it begins to flower, eventually becoming covered in a thick coat of sticky resin, like large drops of caramel. It immediately produces trichomes with lime-green heads, and by the time it has nearly finished it has a whitish/golden appearance with a penetrating smell. When subjected to low temperatures the colour turns a bluish purple. It forms thick, healthy cuttings that are suitable for cloning. Median nodes develop with huge, fat leaves. It withstands large amounts of fertiliser when growing and is resists to periods of drought very well. Indoors we recommend using a lot of wattage to optimise the crop’s results (800W/m2). The recommended vegetative cycle indoors is two weeks for a good yield. With hydroponic systems the results are particularly impressive and quick to ripen. It works very well outdoors, occupying a circumference of several square metres. We recommend propping it well to support the weight of the buds. With good pruning, the plants will grow into large bushes up to 2 m tall. The flowering cycle is 58-65 days, so it will be ready for harvesting in early September. We recommend using carbohydrates to bring out all the flavour. The smell is very deep, with a hint of bitter orange. The high is fast and deep, lifting you up and making you float before firmly bringing you back.
