Lights type and schedule: Mars-Hydro Reflective series 96×3. 24/0
Days from Seed: 80 days
Harvest Points: Harvested both of my moonstones at mostly cloudy trichomes on day 80. No amber at all.
Dry Yield (grams): 84 grams between both plants
Growth Comments: The moonstone is a very resilient plant. This was my first attempt at growing cannabis so there were some mistakes made early on. Primarily a ph lock out around day 30. Had some cal/mag issues but in the end they both pulled through and gave us a good yield of beautiful frosty Bud. Both plants were shorter and very bushy. The tallest was 26 inches tall while the other topped out at 18 inches.
Comments on smell: While growing the moonstone has a very mouth watering sweet smell. Very hard for me to describe. I would open the tent up and just sit in the room to enjoy the wonderful smell of the moonstone – a very relaxing aroma.
After curing for a month the smell is more like a sweet alfalfa with a little pepper. No skunk or sweet smell until you put it in a grinder. Then you get a sweet piney smell with a hint of Black pepper.
The Smell: Berry, Blueberry, Pine, Grass
The Smoke: After a 5 week cure the smoke is super smooth. Very little to no cough with a sweet pleasant taste.
Method of Delivery: Bong

The High: For my wife it was 2 hits off her little bong and she was high as hell. A very happy energetic high that had her laughing her ass off then she said it made her really relaxed. Not sleepy, but just very loose muscle and a general all over good feeling. She said she could feel it in her head almost immediately and then it mellowed out.
Friends report: Everyone said pretty much the same thing. Very potent head buzz that turns into a nice body high. One friend said if he hadn’t see the plants grow and know for a fact that they were autoflowers he would have never believed it. He is a photo grower and now wants to try some autos.

If you are a med user, describe briefly your health conditions and how this strain affects them
Plantar Fasciitis and muscle spasm of the lower back. I can’t use cannabis do to drug testing for work, the point of learning to grow cannabis is for my wife’s pain management. So this smoke report is second, and sometimes third hand. We have donated samples to friends of ours who are long time cannabis users so we could get more diverse opinions.

Final Comments: This was our first grow and my wife and I couldn’t have asked for a better strain to grow. The toughness of the plant combined with its beautiful resin coated Buds and the smooth enjoyable smoke it creates makes this plant a staple for our garden. We will hopefully always have a Moonstone seed ready to go when we need her. This was by far the best all around strain for my wife. Great for socializing and entertaining. Everyone loves the Moonstone.
Thank you Stone for all your hard work.
