Genetic Background

Moonbow 112 IX seeds by Archive Seeds represents a pinnacle of breeding expertise, meticulously developed over three years to achieve an accurate seed form of the celebrated Moonbow #112 clone. This creation avoids typical backcrossing techniques in favor of a cross with a selected male from the Moonbow 112 F2 line, allowing for a more faithful recreation of the original Moonbow's signature traits. A hybrid of Zkittlez and Dosidos, Moonbow 112 IX boasts refined traits that amplify the genetics’ most desirable aspects. This unique breeding approach yields phenotypes that not only emulate the original clone’s excellence but even push past it in select cases.

Appearance

Moonbow 112 IX seeds produce plants that showcase a commanding structure with medium to tall growth, characterized by robust, vertical branches supporting dense, grenade-sized buds. The colas are notably lengthy, stacked densely with vibrant flowers that display deep green hues interspersed with occasional hints of purple, depending on the phenotype and growing conditions. The buds are thoroughly coated with sticky resin, giving them a crystalline appearance that reflects Moonbow 112 IX’s high resin production. This strain’s impressive stature and visually striking flowers make it a captivating addition to any grow space.

Flavor and Aroma Profile

Moonbow 112 IX seeds entice with a terpene profile that blends sharp blackcurrant and vibrant lime notes with Zkittlez’s iconic candy undertones. As the plant matures, a complex bouquet of sweet, fruity aromas fills the space, layered with a subtle earthiness from its Dosidos heritage. When tasted, Moonbow 112 IX reveals a rich, tangy flavor profile with bursts of blackcurrant and zesty lime that linger on the palate. This unique terpene blend is both refreshing and intense, making Moonbow 112 IX a go-to strain for those seeking a bold, fruity flavor.

Growing Characteristics

Moonbow 112 IX seeds thrive in both indoor and outdoor environments, with a flowering period of 9 to 10 weeks (63 to 72 days). This strain’s strong, tall structure and extended colas make it a good candidate for trellising or support systems to optimize bud development and ensure consistent light exposure across its canopy. With its medium-to-tall stretch, Moonbow 112 IX adapts well to a variety of cultivation techniques, including topping and low-stress training (LST), which can help manage its height in limited spaces. Indoor growers may appreciate its adaptability to a range of lighting and environmental conditions, while outdoor cultivators can look forward to vigorous growth and resilient plant structure.

Resin and Hash Production

Moonbow 112 IX seeds deliver high-quality resin production, with sticky trichomes covering each bud to create a glittering, frosty effect. While this strain primarily excels in producing flower with elite quality, it also offers phenotypes that lean toward hash production, yielding small but potent populations with grainier resin textures ideal for extractors. Although some select phenotypes have shown themselves to be excellent “washers” for hash-making, Moonbow 112 IX generally caters to those focused on top-tier flower production. For those who do discover one of these unique phenotypes, the return for extraction purposes is notable, adding further value to this already highly desirable strain.
