Chemotype — the cannabinoid and terpene profile — is the signal that stays true to a cultivar’s genetics, which is why scientists classify cannabis by chemical profile (a “chemovar”) rather than by name (Hazekamp & Fischedick 2012). The dominant terpenes below are aggregated from community and lab reporting; aroma and effect associations are preliminary and not medical claims. Lab-verified COA profiles roll out as Areto’s data comes online.

Indica / Sativa — retail shopping guide

Indica 70%Sativa 30%

Indica, sativa and hybrid are a retail shopping convention — not a reliable guide to genetics or effects. When researchers analysed 89,923 commercial samples across six states, these labels did not predict a plant’s terpene or cannabinoid profile, and a genome-wide study found sativa- and indica-labelled plants to be genetically indistinct (PLOS ONE 2022; Nature Plants 2021). The labels are so fluid that AK-47, a hybrid, won “Best Sativa” at the 1999 Cannabis Cup and “Best Indica” four years later. For an accurate, genetics-true picture, see the chemotype above.

About Mataro Blue

This variety is dedicated to the Kannabia’s original birthplace. You can collect at the beginning of October and it occupies an area of few squared metres. Indoors it needs from 8 to 10 weeks. This plant comes from a genetic selection that we mixed with our male K so we suggest to practice the “Sea of green” to take under control its development and optimize the production. The colour of this plant changes from a green-purple into green-blue at the end of the flowering. This change is more evident with a cold climate, when the plant becomes electric blue. The production is very generous: indoors you will collect more than 600gr/m2 and outdoors a minimum of 700gr per plant. We suggest to use some support to hold the buds because they will grow very big and the heavy bunches of flowers will surprise you. Height: Medium Indoor flowering time: 7 - 8 weeks Outdoor harvest time: September THC level: 24% Yield: High
