Monkberry Moon Delight
Also known as: Monkberry, Moon Delight
Monkberry Moon Delight Strain Overview
Monkberry Moon Delight is a relatively rare hybrid cannabis strain that emerged in the early 2010s from boutique breeders in the Pacific Northwest region of the United States. The strain's exact origins are somewhat obscure, with limited documentation available in mainstream cannabis databases, suggesting it may have been developed by small-scale breeders or collectives rather than large commercial seed companies. Its name appears to be a playful reference to the Beatles song 'Monkberry Moon Delight' from Paul McCartney's 1971 album 'Ram', though no official connection to the musician or his estate has been established.
The strain is characterized by medium to large-sized buds with a dense, indica-dominant structure, often displaying a striking visual appearance. The flowers typically feature deep purple and forest green hues, accented by vibrant orange pistils and a generous coating of frosty trichomes. The coloration is particularly pronounced when grown in cooler temperatures during the flowering phase. The buds emit a complex aromatic profile that combines sweet, fruity notes with earthy undertones and subtle hints of spice.
Monkberry Moon Delight is known for its balanced effects that begin with cerebral stimulation before transitioning to full-body relaxation. The strain has gained a cult following among connoisseurs who appreciate its unique terpene profile and versatile effects. Due to its limited commercial availability, it remains somewhat elusive in mainstream dispensaries but can occasionally be found in specialty cannabis markets or through specific breeders who have preserved the genetics.

Monkberry Moon Delight Strain Growing Information
Monkberry Moon Delight 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 ready by mid to late October in northern hemisphere climates. Indoor yields are moderate to high, producing approximately 400-500 grams per square meter under optimal conditions. Outdoor plants can yield 500-700 grams per plant in favorable environments.
The strain adapts well to both indoor and outdoor growing, though it thrives in controlled indoor environments where temperature can be managed to enhance its purple coloration. Plants tend to remain medium in height, usually reaching 100-150 cm indoors and 150-200 cm outdoors. They respond well to training techniques like topping and low-stress training (LST) to maximize yield. Special considerations include maintaining stable temperatures during flowering (avoiding excessive heat) and providing good air circulation to prevent mold in the dense buds. The strain shows good resistance to common pests and molds when grown in proper conditions.
