Blood Moon is a modern hybrid cannabis strain derived from its parent, Snow Moon. Suited for both indoor and outdoor cultivation, this variety reaches maturity after a 53-day flowering period. Growers may expect a high yield from this plant, which presents a moderate level of difficulty during the cultivation cycle.
The aromatic and flavor profile of Blood Moon is dictated by a specific sequence of compounds, led by myrcene, followed by limonene, humulene, and caryophyllene. This terpene array is further rounded out by the presence of linalool, bisabolol, beta-pinene, and pinene, which collectively contribute to the strain's sensory expression.
As a THC-dominant cultivar with approximately 13 percent THC and negligible CBD content, Blood Moon is primarily utilized to promote feelings of relaxation, happiness, and an uplifted mood. It is frequently sought out by consumers as a potential therapeutic option for the management of stress, pain, and sleep difficulties. There are currently no recorded offspring from this hybrid in the documented strain lineage.

Russo 2011: naloxone-sensitive analgesia, potentiates barbiturate sleep; dominant sedating terpenoid; blocks hepatic carcinogenesis by aflatoxin.
Russo 2011: increases serotonin in prefrontal cortex + dopamine in hippocampus via 5-HT1A; Johns Hopkins 2024: significantly reduced anxiety vs THC alone.
