About Blue Moonshine
Blue Moonshine is a indica cross of Afghani and Thai from DJ Short. Known for plum, blueberry, berry aromatics.
Blue Moonshine (also circulated as Blue Moon) is a indica cultivar bred by DJ Short from Afghani and Thai. In breeding programs, it has served as a parent line for Blue Power and Blue OG. It is recorded in state compliance flower testing in WA (2015 and 2017). Photoperiod cuts typically finish flowering in 6–7 weeks (~50 days) under indoor or greenhouse lighting.
Aroma and flavor
Jars of Blue Moonshine are most often described as showing dark plum, jammy blueberry, ripe mixed berry and crisp conifer pine. Chemotype data points to peppery beta-caryophyllene, woody, hop-like humulene and bright, citrus-forward limonene as the primary aromatic drivers, with batch-to-batch variation depending on cultivation and curing.
Reported effects
Consumers commonly report warm physical comfort, heavier evening drowsiness and an elevated, euphoric mood, making Blue Moonshine a frequent pick for evening unwinding or unhurried downtime. The most commonly noted downsides are dry eyes and dry mouth.
