Velvet Moon is a modern hybrid-indica cultivar developed from Holy Punch genetics. Designed for consistent cultivation performance, the strain completes its flowering cycle in 60 days. It is rated as having a moderate growth difficulty, allowing it to thrive in both indoor and outdoor environments while reliably producing a high yield.
The chemical profile of Velvet Moon is defined by a complex, layered terpene expression beginning with a dominant concentration of caryophyllene. This is followed by a secondary suite consisting of myrcene, limonene, and pinene, with humulene, ocimene, nerolidol, and linalool contributing to the tertiary aromatic notes. The palate is further rounded out by the presence of beta-pinene, guaiol, p-cymene, bisabolol, eucalyptol, camphene, and caryophyllene-oxide, which collectively shape its signature sensory profile.
As a THC-dominant variety, Velvet Moon is recognized for inducing states of relaxation, calm, and mental focus. These effects make it a frequent choice for users seeking relief from pain, stress, or challenges with sleep. The influence of this lineage is evidenced by its role as a parent for notable offspring, most significantly, Alienz and Moweeto.

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: 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.
