Moonbow 112
Zkittlez × Do-Si-Dos
Moonbow 112 is a highly regarded indica-dominant hybrid from Archive Seed Bank, celebrated for its striking appearance and complex aroma profile. This cultivar is sought after by both cultivators and consumers for its potent effects and dense resin production.
Appearance
Moonbow 112 typically presents as medium-density, conical to spear-shaped buds that are well-trimmed. The calyxes swell into dense clusters covered in a thick layer of trichomes, giving them a frosted appearance. Mature flowers often display deep olive greens with marbling of lavender and purple hues. Pistils range from light tangerine to burnt orange, adding visual depth.
The buds possess a tight-knit structure and a noticeable stickiness, indicating good terpene retention. The thick trichome blanket, often described as a silver-white cast, is a visual cue for potency and is particularly desirable for solventless extraction.
Aroma & Flavor
The aroma of Moonbow 112 is characterized by a sweet, candy-forward bouquet reminiscent of assorted fruit candies and sweet lime, layered with creamy, kushy undertones. Upon grinding, the scent profile expands to include notes of tart citrus rind, candied grape, and a subtle peppery or fuel-like edge.
On the inhale, the flavor mirrors the aroma with sweet, bright fruit candy notes, often compared to lime or lemon-lime soda. This is followed by a creamy pastry-dough taste and a light kush spice on the exhale. Some users detect a soft gas or pepper-lime finish.
Effects
Moonbow 112 is known for delivering a balanced high that combines euphoric sensations with physical relaxation. Consumers often report a floaty, uplifting experience coupled with a velvety body ease, making it suitable for unwinding.
The strain's potency and complex terpene profile contribute to its well-rounded effects. It is often described as a premium, connoisseur-quality cannabis experience that bridges sweet and dank characteristics.
Terpenes & Cannabinoids
While specific lab data varies, Moonbow 112 is noted for its robust terpene profile, with total terpene content often reported between 2.0% and 4.0%. Key terpenes contributing to its aroma and effects include Myrcene, Limonene, Caryophyllene, Linalool, Humulene, and Ocimene.
The THC content is significant, typically testing around 28%, with CBD levels below 1%. This cannabinoid profile contributes to its potent, balanced effects.
Origins & Lineage
Moonbow 112 is a specific phenotype (cut #112) from Archive Seed Bank's Moonbow line. It is a cross between Zkittlez, known for its candy-like aromas, and Do-Si-Dos, an indica-dominant strain recognized for its potency and resin production.
Phenotype #112 emerged as a standout keeper from extensive phenohunting, prized for its vibrant coloration and a balanced high. It has since been utilized in further breeding projects, solidifying its status as a modern reference for candy-gas hybrids.
Growing
Cultivators appreciate Moonbow 112 for its heavy resin output and vivid coloration. The plant tends to exhibit medium internodal spacing and often develops purple hues, indicative of its Do-Si-Dos heritage. Growers report that the 112 selection often forms tightly stacked calyxes with a high calyx-to-leaf ratio, simplifying post-harvest processing.
The strain typically stretches 1.5x to 2x after the light cycle flip. With proper cultivation techniques, Moonbow 112 can achieve a resin-drenched appearance, maintaining its reputation for quality across different growing environments and media.
