Purple Moon
Also known as: Purple Moon Rocks
Purple Moon Strain Overview
Purple Moon is an indica-dominant hybrid cannabis strain developed by crossing Purple Punch with Moonbow. The strain emerged in the late 2010s as breeders sought to combine the relaxing properties and fruity flavors of Purple Punch with the euphoric effects and complex terpene profile of Moonbow. While not as widely documented as some mainstream strains, Purple Moon has gained recognition among connoisseurs for its balanced effects and distinctive appearance.
The strain typically produces dense, conical buds with a striking color palette that includes deep purple hues contrasted by vibrant orange pistils. A thick coating of trichomes gives the flowers a frosty appearance, often described as resembling a dusting of sugar. The purple coloration results from anthocyanin pigments that develop in response to cooler temperatures during the flowering stage, though some phenotypes may exhibit more green coloration depending on growing conditions.
Purple Moon is noted for its complex aromatic profile that combines sweet, fruity notes with earthy undertones. The strain's effects are generally described as relaxing and euphoric, making it popular for evening use. While Purple Moon has gained some popularity in certain cannabis communities, comprehensive information about its exact genetic lineage and breeding history remains limited compared to more established strains.

Purple Moon Strain Growing Information
Purple Moon is considered a moderately difficult strain to cultivate, suitable for growers with some experience. The plants typically flower in 8-9 weeks indoors and are ready for harvest by mid-October outdoors. Indoor yields average 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 in warm, Mediterranean-like outdoor climates. Plants tend to remain medium in height, usually reaching 100-150 cm indoors and 150-200 cm outdoors. Special considerations include maintaining stable temperatures during flowering to encourage purple coloration and proper nutrient management to prevent nutrient burn due to the strain's sensitivity. Adequate airflow is recommended to prevent mold in the dense buds.
