MoonArc
MoonArc Strain Overview
MoonArc is a relatively rare cannabis hybrid strain that has gained attention in select cultivation circles. While its exact origins are somewhat obscure, available information suggests it was developed by boutique breeders who crossed a potent indica-dominant parent with a flavorful sativa cultivar, though the specific lineage remains undocumented in mainstream strain databases. The strain's name appears to reference its purported effects and appearance, with 'Moon' possibly alluding to its reported calming properties and 'Arc' suggesting a gradual, curved progression of effects.
The strain typically produces medium-sized, dense buds with a distinctive appearance. Flowers often display a forest green base color with occasional purple hues that emerge under cooler nighttime temperatures during cultivation. MoonArc buds are usually heavily coated in trichomes, giving them a frosty, silvery appearance that contributes to the 'moon' reference in its name. The nugs tend to be compact with orange pistils weaving through the resinous calyxes.
MoonArc is noted for its complex aromatic profile that combines earthy, floral, and subtle fruity notes. The strain's effects are described by users as beginning with a cerebral uplift that gradually transitions into full-body relaxation without heavy sedation. Its relative rarity means that consistent phenotypic expressions can vary between growers, and some cannabis enthusiasts consider it a collector's strain due to its limited commercial availability. As with many boutique strains, comprehensive laboratory testing data is scarce, and most information comes from grower reports and user experiences rather than peer-reviewed studies.

MoonArc Strain Growing Information
MoonArc is considered a moderate-difficulty strain to cultivate, requiring some experience with cannabis cultivation. The flowering time typically ranges from 8 to 10 weeks when grown indoors. Outdoor plants are usually ready for harvest in late September to early October in northern hemisphere climates. The strain prefers a controlled indoor environment but can adapt to outdoor growing in Mediterranean-like climates with consistent temperatures.
Indoor plants typically reach heights of 100-140 cm, while outdoor plants can grow taller, up to 180 cm under optimal conditions. Expected yields are moderate, with indoor growers reporting approximately 400-500 grams per square meter under optimal conditions, and outdoor growers achieving 500-700 grams per plant. The strain responds well to training techniques like topping and low-stress training to manage height and improve light penetration.
Special considerations include maintaining stable humidity levels during flowering to prevent mold, as the dense buds can be susceptible to moisture retention. MoonArc plants benefit from consistent nutrient schedules with particular attention to phosphorus during flowering. The strain shows good resistance to common pests but may require preventive measures against powdery mildew in humid conditions. Growers report that cooler nighttime temperatures during late flowering can enhance the purple coloration in the buds.
