Growing Tips for Blue Moon Rocks
Blue Moon Rocks is a notoriously easy strain to grow and is a solid choice for folks with a limited amount of growing experience. Blue Moon Rocks marijuana plants will thrive both indoors and outdoors, but have an easier time growing indoors because of the horticulturist’s ability to control the climate. If you choose to grow indoors, you will have to replicate a steady environment similar to the climate of California in the summertime. Blue Moon Rocks produces bright purple and green plants that are covered in resin-rich trichomes that will make your fingers sticky if you break the nugs up by hand. If you are going to grow outdoors, you will need to maintain a consistent temperature and humidity to get these plants to harvest. Having access to a greenhouse is the best way to give these plants the perfect outdoor climate they require without having to put up with unexpected outdoor variables. These plants grow short in height and only reach a maximum outdoor height of 3 feet. Because of the small height of these plants, they are easy to grow in smaller spaces like a closet grow setup or even on a balcony. The plant size makes it a good choice for growing multiple plants to increase your yields come harvest time. The ideal temperature for these plants is around 70-80 degrees Fahrenheit, and they are versatile enough to withstand lower temperatures at night. Humidity levels should be kept at 40-65% during the vegetative and flowering growth stages. Growing indoors will ensure that the moderate humidity levels and temperature are maintained every day that the plants are in the growing stages. Low-stress training (LST) and topping methods are the best training techniques for the specific strain of cannabis. These methods help to manage the canopy, allowing light and air to reach the lower levels of the plant, creating an even grow. The Blue Moon Rocks strain requires an 18-hour light cycle to reach the vegetative stage of growth. Changing the light cycle to a 12/12 cycle will induce the flowering stage and help take this plant from flowering to harvest without other major changes.
Yields, Flowering Time, and Harvest
- Flowering Time: Growing indoors, you can expect the Blue Moon Rocks strain to harvest after a short flowering period of 55-65 days.
- Yields: While Indoor yields are around 450 grams per square meter, outdoor grows typically produce up to 525 grams per plant. When you consider how easy these plants are to grow and manage, these yields are fantastic. You can grow multiple plants in a smaller area to increase your yields exponentially.
- Harvest: Outdoor growers can plan on harvesting their yields around the beginning of October, depending on when the seeds were planted.
Blue Moon Rocks: Sweet in Flavor and Aroma
The Blue Moon Rocks terpene profile is directly responsible for how the plant smells and tastes, and the strong effects it has on its users. The most dominant terpene in this strain is caryophyllene, while myrcene, pinene, and limonene are the secondary terpenes.
- Caryophyllene: Most Dominant – Known as a spicy and peppery terpene, caryophyllene is most commonly found in cinnamon, cloves, black pepper, and cannabis plants.
- Myrcene: Secondary Terpene – The “Mother of all Terpenes”, myrcene gives cannabis its earthy flavor and aroma. Myrcene can be found in several cannabis strains.
- Pinene: Pine Needles – Pinene is a terpene found in pine needles, conifer trees, and cannabis. It is one of the main terpenes found in marijuana and adds a pine-like taste and aroma to the strain.
- Limonene: Fresh Citrus – Found mostly in the rinds of citrus fruits, limonene is known for helping to decrease anxiety and can improve lung function when found in cannabis.
