Blackberry Moonrocks strain guide
Blackberry Moonrocks is an indica-leaning hybrid from Anesia Seeds, made by crossing Blue Moonrock with Blackberry Kush. People know it for a berry and lavender smell and a calm, tingly feel. Despite the name, it is a flower strain, not the coated "moon rock" product.
Where does Blackberry Moonrocks come from?
Blackberry Moonrocks was bred by Anesia Seeds, a European seed company. The breeder crossed a Blue Moonrock mother with a Blackberry Kush father, and says both parents were picked over a long selection for flavour and potency.
The name points to its parents rather than to moon rocks, the product made by dipping buds in oil and kief. Anesia also sells an autoflowering version, which is listed a little lower in THC.
What does Blackberry Moonrocks smell and taste like?
Blackberry Moonrocks smells like ripe berries first: blackberry and blueberry, with soft lavender and floral notes and a light citrus lift. Some reviewers also mention a faint cheesy note underneath.
Published terpene results put limonene first, then myrcene and caryophyllene. Limonene brings the citrus, myrcene the earthy depth and caryophyllene a little pepper. The flavour is sweet and fruity, much like the smell.
Blackberry Moonrocks effects: what people report
People mostly describe Blackberry Moonrocks as calming. Relaxed, tingly and sleepy are the words that come up most, and some reviewers say the feeling lasts for hours. It's usually talked about as an end-of-day strain.
These are experiences people report, not promises. How it feels depends on the product, how much you have and your own tolerance. Dry eyes are a common complaint, and a few people mention feeling paranoid.
How strong is Blackberry Moonrocks?
Blackberry Moonrocks is a high-THC strain. One strain database lists it around 23%, while the breeder's material says it can reach up to 33%. Treat that top figure as a best case, since growers dispute it. CBD is usually very low.
Start with a small amount and give it time. The numbers on your label are what count, and our guide to reading cannabis labels explains them.
Buying Blackberry Moonrocks in Canada
Don't confuse it with moon rocks, the kief-coated product, which is something else entirely. Read the product type on the label.
If you find it, it's most likely to be dried flower or pre-rolls. Check the THC and CBD numbers and the packaging date, since fresher flower keeps more of the berry smell.
Blackberry Moonrocks vs Blackberry Kush
Blackberry Kush is Blackberry Moonrocks' father. Both share a dark berry smell, but Blackberry Kush leans earthier and more Kush-like, with a hashy, fuel side, while Blackberry Moonrocks is brighter, with blueberry, lavender and a touch of citrus from its Blue Moonrock mother. Both are known as calm, relaxing strains. If you like a classic Kush base, try Blackberry Kush. If you want more fruit and flowers, try Blackberry Moonrocks.
