Old Time Moonshine is a modern hybrid-indica variety resulting from a genetic background that includes mostly Indica, Blue Fin, and Cinderellas. It is designed to perform well in both indoor and outdoor environments, offering growers a high yield after a relatively short flowering period of 53 days. While its cultivation difficulty is classified as moderate, its stability and production capabilities have made it a preferred foundation for breeders looking to impart specific traits into new variations.
The sensory profile of this strain is defined primarily by myrcene, which provides the dominant aromatic base, followed by secondary caryophyllene and a tertiary hint of pinene. This specific terpene composition informs the nuance of its scent and flavor, balancing earthy undertones with spicy and pine-forward highlights. The chemical synergy of these constituents characterizes the strain's overall profile, grounded in these three specific compounds.
Regarding user effects, Old Time Moonshine is a THC-dominant cultivar known to promote feelings of relaxation, calmness, and mental focus. These therapeutic properties make it a frequent choice for individuals seeking support for pain, stress, and sleep. Its genetic legacy is evidenced by a diverse list of notable offspring, including Blue Iguana, Chem #4 x OTM #1, Diesel Moonshine, JoJo Kush, Moondawg, Moonshine Cookies, Old Time Bubba Kush, Old Time Indiana Bubble Gum, Old Time Purple Urkle, Raspberry Moonshine, Ripple, and Strawberry Yum Yum.
