About Moonbow
Moonbow is a hybrid bred by Archive Seed Bank in Oregon from Zkittlez and Do-Si-Dos. It gained a strong following in the Pacific Northwest and California, and it now appears on dispensary menus in many legal US states.
The aroma blends candy-sweet fruit from Zkittlez with an earthy, cookie-like depth from Do-Si-Dos, plus a faint floral note. Buds are usually compact and dense, with deep purple hues and a thick blanket of trichomes. Caryophyllene adds a peppery backbone, limonene brightens the fruity side, and linalool can bring a soft floral calm to the profile.
People often describe Moonbow as relaxed, happy and sleepy. It is a common choice for evenings, especially when someone wants a pleasant mood lift that eases into a restful body feel. THC usually ranges from 20% to 26%, and CBD typically stays below 1%.
Moonbow suits consumers who enjoy flavorful, indica-leaning hybrids and have some experience with stronger flower. Start low, go slow, and save it for a time when you can relax. Use WhereLeaf to find Moonbow at licensed dispensaries and delivery services near you.
