About Moonbow
Moonbow was created by Archive Seed Bank (Portland, Oregon), crossing Zkittlez with Do-Si-Dos. The resulting seeds were pheno hunted to select the Moonbow #1 and #112 cuts that became legendary. The buds are dense and format with extreme bag appeal — deep purples, greens, and oranges under a thick trichome coat. The aroma is a stunning blend: Zkittlez's tropical candy and fruit medley combines with Do-Si-Dos's gas and dough for a profile that's both sweet and pungent. Effects are well-balanced: an uplifting, creative head buzz with physical relaxation. Moonbow became the foundation of Archive's entire Moonbow series and is widely considered one of the most influential exotic strains of the 2020s.
Flavor Profile
History
Archive Seed Bank's founder Fletcher spent years developing the Moonbow line, sourcing a specific Zkittlez cut and crossing it with Do-Si-Dos. The pheno hunt was extensive, with #1 and #112 emerging as the two most famous expressions. Moonbow spawned an entire series of crosses from Archive (Moonbow x various) and became one of the most sought-after clone-only strains in the Pacific Northwest and California. Archive's Moonbow drops consistently sell out within minutes. The strain is widely credited with pushing the Zkittlez lineage in new, gassier directions.
