Moonshine Daze by Third Eye Genetics
Unknown
Moonshine Daze is a sativa-leaning hybrid developed by Third Eye Genetics, known for its vibrant aromatics and uplifting effects. This cultivar is designed for daytime clarity and a buoyant mood, offering a lively profile rather than heavy sedation.
Appearance
Moonshine Daze typically exhibits speared, tapering colas with medium-density buds. The calyxes stack neatly, creating an elegant, aerodynamic structure. Coloration ranges from lime to forest green, often accented by bright pistils that can darken to amber tones by late flower. A dense layer of trichomes covers the bracts and sugar leaves, giving the buds a frosted appearance. Occasional purpling may occur depending on environmental conditions.
Aroma & Flavor
The aroma is predominantly bright and uplifting, often likened to citrus zest, fresh pine, and sweet tropical notes, reminiscent of lemon-lime spritz or grapefruit pith with a hint of crushed conifer. Subtle floral and herbal undertones, such as lilac or basil, may emerge with proper curing. Upon combustion, flavors can include citrus, grapefruit, pine, and a hint of grape or mango, with a clean, airy lift.
Effects
This cultivar is favored for its energetic and creative effects, promoting a clean, upbeat headspace suitable for daytime activities. It provides a lively, spirited profile that enhances clarity and mood without inducing heavy sedation. Consumers often report feeling more focused and inspired.
Terpenes & Cannabinoids
Moonshine Daze is characterized by a terpene profile that includes limonene, pinene, terpinolene, ocimene, and eucalyptol. These contribute to its distinct citrus, pine, and tropical aromatics. The THC content typically ranges from 18-24%, with CBD levels below 1%, aligning with its sativa-leaning effects.
Growing
As a sativa-leaning hybrid, Moonshine Daze tends to stretch significantly after the light flip, often 1.5-2.5x its initial height. It requires an open, well-ventilated canopy due to medium to long internodal spacing. Strategic training techniques like topping and LST are recommended to manage its lanky growth and promote an even canopy for optimal light distribution. Flowering times are generally mid-to-late.
Origins & Lineage
Developed by Third Eye Genetics, a breeder known for high-terpene selections, Moonshine Daze is a mostly sativa hybrid, estimated between 65-80% sativa. While its exact parental lineage is not publicly disclosed, its phenotype suggests a haze or tropical-leaning ancestry. The strain is cultivated in small batches and is often found in limited seed or clone lines.
