Bluemoon
Also known as: Blue Moon
Bluemoon Strain Overview
Bluemoon is a balanced hybrid cannabis strain that has gained popularity for its distinctive blue and purple coloration and well-rounded effects. The strain's exact genetic origins are somewhat debated among cannabis enthusiasts, but most sources suggest it emerged from selective breeding programs in the Pacific Northwest region of the United States during the early 2000s. Breeders aimed to create a visually striking strain with balanced effects that could appeal to both recreational and medicinal users.
The strain is characterized by its dense, resinous buds that often display a remarkable color palette ranging from deep forest green to vibrant purple and blue hues, particularly when exposed to cooler temperatures during cultivation. These colorful buds are typically covered in a generous coating of trichomes and orange pistils, creating a visually appealing presentation. The name 'Bluemoon' likely references both its coloration and its relatively rare status in mainstream cannabis markets.
Bluemoon has maintained a steady following despite not achieving widespread commercial distribution, with enthusiasts particularly valuing its aesthetic appeal and balanced effects. The strain represents an example of the artisanal breeding that characterized the early medical cannabis movement in certain regions, where growers focused on unique phenotypes rather than mass-market appeal.

Bluemoon Strain Growing Information
Bluemoon is considered a moderate-difficulty strain to cultivate, requiring some experience to achieve optimal results. The flowering time typically ranges from 8 to 10 weeks when grown indoors, with outdoor harvests usually ready by mid to late October in northern hemisphere climates. The plants tend to be medium in height, reaching approximately 4-5 feet indoors and potentially taller outdoors with proper training.
Indoor cultivation is generally recommended for better environmental control, particularly temperature management which is crucial for developing the strain's signature coloration. Cooler nighttime temperatures (around 60-65°F) during the final weeks of flowering can enhance the purple and blue pigmentation. The strain responds well to both soil and hydroponic growing methods, with moderate feeding requirements. Expected yields are average to above-average, with indoor growers typically harvesting 1.5-2 ounces per square foot under optimal conditions.
Special considerations include maintaining stable humidity levels to prevent mold in the dense buds and providing adequate support during flowering as the resinous buds can become heavy. Some phenotypes may require additional attention to nutrient balance, particularly during the transition to flowering. The strain exhibits good resistance to common pests and molds when grown in a clean environment with proper air circulation.
