Moonstone
Also known as: Moon Stone
Moonstone Strain Overview
Moonstone is a balanced hybrid cannabis strain developed by crossing the popular Blueberry indica with the sativa-dominant White Widow. This combination creates a versatile strain that offers both physical relaxation and mental stimulation. The strain emerged in the early 2000s and gained popularity among medical and recreational users for its well-rounded effects and appealing flavor profile. Moonstone is known for its moderate to high THC content and relatively low CBD levels, making it suitable for experienced users.
Visually, Moonstone buds are typically dense and compact with a forest green coloration accented by vibrant orange pistils. The flowers are often heavily coated in trichomes, giving them a frosty, crystalline appearance that inspired the strain's name. The nugs tend to be medium to large in size with a sticky resinous texture. Moonstone plants exhibit characteristics from both parent strains, displaying the purple hues sometimes seen in Blueberry phenotypes along with the resin production inherited from White Widow.
Notable features of Moonstone include its complex aroma profile and balanced effects. The strain is particularly valued for its ability to provide both physical relaxation and mental clarity without excessive sedation. While not as widely available as some mainstream strains, Moonstone has maintained a dedicated following among connoisseurs who appreciate its harmonious blend of indica and sativa qualities. The strain's effects typically develop gradually rather than hitting immediately, allowing users to ease into the experience.

Moonstone Strain Growing Information
Moonstone is considered a moderately difficult strain to cultivate, making it better suited for growers with some experience. The plants typically flower in 8-10 weeks indoors, with outdoor harvests occurring in late September to early October. Indoor yields average 400-500 grams per square meter, while outdoor plants can produce 500-600 grams per plant under optimal conditions. Moonstone prefers a controlled indoor environment but can also thrive outdoors in Mediterranean climates with consistent temperatures. Plants tend to reach medium height (100-150 cm indoors, 150-200 cm outdoors) and benefit from training techniques like topping and low-stress training to maximize yield. Special considerations include maintaining proper humidity control during flowering to prevent mold and providing adequate support for the dense buds. The strain responds well to organic nutrients and requires careful monitoring of pH levels.
