Moonbow – Flora and Flame, California, Fall 2024

89 out of 100 points

Price: $50 per eighth, but varies

We are always looking for good moonbows. Archive Seeds crossed the Z with the Dosi for this more robust Candy Gas strain.

Indoor flower growers Flora and Flame from Oakland, California present a very good version that is almost outstanding. A muted scent of Smarties candies greets you in the bag. The buds are rather small, but beautifully light green. It dried and cured well without much stickiness. Grinding enhances the sweet, pleasant terpenes, but we wanted more. It smoked very strongly with a finish of lime, pine and grass.

Recommended activity combination for this hybrid: a sunny fall hike, some yoga, listening to records and gardening.
