Midnight Moon Strain Overview
Midnight Moon is an indica-dominant hybrid cannabis strain that emerged in the early 2010s from the Pacific Northwest region of the United States. The strain was developed by breeders seeking to create a potent nighttime strain with distinctive dark coloration and sedative properties. Its exact origins are somewhat obscure in cannabis breeding records, but it gained popularity among medical and recreational users for its strong physical relaxation effects and unique visual characteristics.
The strain is notable for its striking appearance, with dark purple to almost black buds that are often contrasted by bright orange pistils and a generous coating of frosty trichomes. The coloration is most pronounced when grown in cooler temperatures during the flowering phase, which triggers anthocyanin production in the plant. The buds are typically dense and resinous, with a structure that reflects its indica heritage. Midnight Moon has a flowering time of approximately 8-9 weeks when grown indoors, and it performs well in both indoor and outdoor cultivation environments.
Midnight Moon has gained recognition for its potent effects that are particularly suited for evening use. The strain's name reflects both its dark appearance and its reputation as a nighttime strain. While not as widely documented as some mainstream commercial strains, Midnight Moon has developed a dedicated following among users seeking strong relaxation and sleep aid properties. The strain's genetic stability and consistent effects have contributed to its continued cultivation despite not achieving mass commercial distribution.

Midnight Moon Strain Growing Information
Midnight Moon is considered a moderate difficulty strain to cultivate, suitable for growers with some experience. The plant has a flowering time of 8-9 weeks indoors and is ready for harvest in late September to early October when grown outdoors. Indoor yields typically range from 400-500 grams per square meter, while outdoor plants can produce 500-600 grams per plant. The strain prefers a controlled indoor environment but can also thrive outdoors in temperate climates with consistent temperatures. Plants tend to remain relatively short at 100-150 cm indoors and 150-200 cm outdoors, making them suitable for limited space grows. Special considerations include maintaining cooler temperatures (especially at night) during the flowering phase to enhance purple coloration, and providing adequate support for the dense buds to prevent mold. The strain responds well to both soil and hydroponic growing methods.
