Moonbow is a modern hybrid strain derived from its parent, Do-Si-Dos. Cultivators can expect a moderate difficulty level when growing this strain in both indoor and outdoor environments. The plant requires a 63-day flowering period to reach maturity and is recognized for providing a high yield at the end of its growth cycle.
The terpene profile of Moonbow is led by limonene, followed by caryophyllene, linalool, humulene, beta-pinene, myrcene, and pinene. This chemical spectrum creates a sensory experience defined by these specific aromatic and flavor compounds.
This THC-dominant hybrid, containing 19.3% THC, is formulated to induce effects described as relaxed, happy, and uplifted, making it suitable for addressing stress, pain, and sleep concerns. Moonbow has established a genetic legacy, serving as a parent to notable offspring including Show Boat, Space Walker, Moonbow X London Poundcake, Mendo Beltz, Cherry Zelato, Crazy Hazey, Dank Dough, Doughlato, Ginger Tea, Killer Bees, Melon Fizz, and Moonbow 112 IX.

Research notes below describe isolated terpene mechanisms and early findings. They do not guarantee effects from this strain and are not medical advice.
Russo 2011: increases serotonin in prefrontal cortex + dopamine in hippocampus via 5-HT1A; Johns Hopkins 2024: significantly reduced anxiety vs THC alone.
~28%
spicy
●●○○
Russo 2011: only terpene that is a selective full CB2 agonist (100 nM); Gertsch et al. 2008: acts as dietary cannabinoid; unique anti-inflammatory and gastric cytoprotective properties.
Russo 2011: local anesthetic equal to procaine; anticonvulsant via glutamate/GABA modulation; reduces morphine tolerance via multisite opioid/GABAergic/cannabinoid action.
Effects
Reported effects — derived from terpene chemistry and cannabinoid profile.
◎
relaxed
eveningPrimary endpoint of myrcene+linalool sedating combinations; GABA modulation is the dominant mechanistic driver.
◉

uplifted
morningLimonene anxiolytic/antidepressant via serotonin elevation in prefrontal cortex (Russo 2011); mood improvement without full euphoria; key for balanced-1-1 profiles.
