What happens when you cross a Blueberry, Mazar-i-Sharif – the original old Afghan – and Kannabia’s own Black Domina? These three parents give birth to Kannabia’s crown jewel – Mataró Blue, the brand’s most sought-after strain. With multiple awards – 1st Prize, Resin Award at Lift & Co. Expo 2016 in Toronto, Canada, and 1st Prize Medical Indica at Treating Yourself Expo 2012 also in Toronto – it’s not difficult to see why. Mataró Blue is a connoisseur favorite hash-producing powerhouse, loved for its deep berry flavors and uplifting, soaring mind and body high.

Colombian jack
Meet the Colombian Jack with the highest THC level of 29% in the Kannabia catalog. With Black Jack and Nébula as parents, this sativa-dominant hybrid really shows off the best of each. Expect a lime-dominated fragrance with umami base notes and get ready to enjoy the uplifting and creative high in just a few tokes.
Notes from the producer:
Colombian Jack does not respond well to an excess of fertilizer in the first few weeks of vegetative growth and when smoked may result in buds that are hard on the throat when smoked. If you reach more than six feet outdoors, be sure to give the plants enough space. Large colas showcase the sativa heritage, while indica genes are responsible for making them nice and fat. You can expect the plants to mature in late October outdoors and after 64 to 71 days of flowering indoors. Expect yields well over a pound outdoors and a little over a pound indoors.
