Purple Moon in detail

Origin & classification

Purple Moon is an indica-dominant strain from Blue OG × Purple Kush. Black Sheep Genetics is named as the breeder of this strain. With up to 28 % THC, Purple Moon is clearly in the very potent range. CBD plays more of a supporting role at up to 1 %.

Aroma & flavour

Purple Moon’s aroma is primarily flowery, tropical, earthy and skunky. Fenchol, d-Limonene and Caryophyllene fit 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

Purple Moon’s effects are generally described as relaxing and sleepy. Overall, the strain therefore leans more towards a calmer, more physical direction.

Effects tendency

The flowering time is stated as around 80 days. This places Purple Moon closer to modern dessert strains than to classic old-school lines.

Further classification

Up to 28 % THC clearly places Purple Moon among modern, very potent strains. CBD is only present at a low level in Purple Moon, at up to 1 %. The Blue OG x Purple Kush ancestry makes Purple Moon’s genetic direction easy to understand. Aromatically, it presents a sweet, fruity direction: flowery, tropical, earthy, skunky and tart. The effects read as calm and physical: relaxing and sleepy. In Purple Moon, the aromatic profile is not merely an addition but a central part of the strain’s identity. Caryophyllene brings a spicy, slightly peppery edge to Purple Moon’s overall profile. Purple Moon’s effects profile is less geared towards activity and more towards a calmer, heavier overall experience. The genetic indications suggest a more classic, heavy and robust side in Purple Moon. In Purple Moon, the THC level itself becomes a defining part of the strain description. The flowering time is recorded as approximately 80 days. Black Sheep Genetics is listed as the breeder, giving the profile an additional, clearer layer of provenance.
