Marra Moonshine
Also known as: Marra Moonshine OG
Marra Moonshine Strain Overview
Marra Moonshine is a relatively rare cannabis strain that emerged from the Pacific Northwest cannabis scene, though its exact origins remain somewhat obscure. The strain appears to have been developed by underground breeders in the early 2010s, with its name suggesting connections to both the Marra region (possibly referencing the Marrakesh region of Morocco) and traditional moonshine culture. This hybrid combines genetics that produce both cerebral and physical effects, making it popular among experienced users seeking balanced psychoactive experiences.
The strain's appearance is characterized by dense, conical buds that display a striking color palette of deep forest green with occasional purple hues, particularly when grown in cooler temperatures. The flowers are typically heavily coated in frosty trichomes, giving them a shimmering, crystalline appearance that inspired the 'Moonshine' portion of its name. Orange pistils weave through the buds, creating visual contrast against the darker foliage. The nugs are known for their resinous texture and sticky feel when properly cured.
Marra Moonshine is noted for its complex aromatic profile that evolves during the curing process. The initial scent is often described as earthy and pine-forward, with subtle notes of citrus and spice emerging upon closer inspection. When broken apart or ground, the strain releases more pronounced terpene notes that some users compare to a forest after rain. The flavor profile tends to mirror the aroma, with a smooth smoke that carries earthy, woody notes followed by hints of lemon and pepper on the exhale.

Marra Moonshine Strain Growing Information
Marra Moonshine is considered a moderate-difficulty strain to cultivate, making it more suitable for growers with some experience. The plants typically flower in 8-10 weeks indoors, with outdoor harvests occurring in late September to early October in northern hemisphere climates. Indoor yields are moderate to high, averaging 400-500 grams per square meter under optimal conditions. Outdoor plants can produce 500-700 grams per plant in favorable environments.
The strain prefers a Mediterranean-like climate with moderate humidity and good airflow to prevent mold issues. Indoor cultivation is recommended for most growers due to better environmental control. Plants tend to grow to medium height (3-5 feet indoors, 5-7 feet outdoors) with a bushy structure that benefits from pruning and training techniques like topping or low-stress training (LST). Marra Moonshine responds well to organic nutrients and requires careful monitoring of pH levels. The plants are moderately resistant to pests and mold but benefit from preventive measures. During flowering, cooler nighttime temperatures can enhance the purple coloration in the buds.
