Editorial profile
Moonlight in detail
Origin & classification
Moonlight is an indica-dominant strain from Do-Si-Dos × Northern Lights × Purest Indica × Afghani. Naledi Seeds is named as the breeder of this strain. With up to 25 % THC, Moonlight is clearly in the stronger range. At up to 0.1 %, CBD plays more of a secondary role.
Aroma & flavour
Moonlight’s aroma is primarily earthy, citrusy, sweet and fruity. Myrcene, limonene and pinene complement this impression well and give the profile additional depth. The combination of sweeter and classically spicy notes makes the strain more distinctive than many smoother standard hybrids.
Terpene profile
Moonlight’s effects are generally described as uplifting, relaxing, sociable and calming. This is precisely what often makes the strain interesting: it does not lean in just one direction, but addresses both mind and body.
Effect tendency
The flowering time is stated as around 53 days. Its open-ended effects are one reason it is often described as a pleasant strain for social gatherings. Many sources do not describe the strain as one-dimensional, but as potent without a single aspect taking centre stage.
Cannabinoids, flowering & appearance
Moonlight is therefore particularly suited to people who want to experience aroma and effects together in as balanced a way as possible. Those who enjoy classic, direct strain profiles that are not overly polished may find this direction more appealing than purely trend-driven strains.
Further classification
Moonlight is based on a line from Do-Si-Dos x Northern Lights. Purest Indica and Afghani are also named as additional genetic influences. Aromatically, it moves between earthy, citrusy, sweet, fruity and sour notes. With up to 25 %, Moonlight reaches a clear, potent level. At up to 0.1 % CBD, this value clearly remains in the background for Moonlight. Between uplifting, relaxing and sociable, it shows balanced effects with active and calmer aspects. Moonlight therefore does not come across as merely dessert-like, but gains more edge from modern, louder notes. Myrcene, limonene and pinene provide further clues as to why the aroma profile is not defined by individual flavour notes alone. This balance is precisely what makes Moonlight interesting: the strain reads as neither purely heavy nor exclusively energising.
