Blue Moon
Blue Moon
Also known as: Blue Moon Hybrid
Overview
Blue Moon is a slightly indica-dominant hybrid strain (60% indica/40% sativa) that emerged as a descendant of the classic Blueberry strain developed by DJ Short. The strain gained popularity in the 2010s when multiple regional breeders created Blueberry-dominant crosses and labeled standout phenotypes with lunar-inspired names. Blue Moon's name evokes rarity and mystery, capturing two desirable attributes: nighttime suitability and the rich 'blue' dessert bouquet that consumers associate with Blueberry genetics. The strain has become established in various markets, though different regions may have slightly different genetic expressions while maintaining overlapping sensory traits.
The buds display an attractive appearance with grape-shaped, dusty green nugs featuring abundant amber hairs and a coating of thick, frosty amber crystal trichomes. Blue Moon exhibits the dense bud structure characteristic of its Blueberry lineage, often displaying purple hues in the sugar leaves and calyx tips when exposed to cooler nighttime temperatures. This strain has developed a loyal following among cannabis connoisseurs who appreciate its balanced effects and complex flavor profile that showcases both sweet berry notes and subtle spicy undertones.
