When you pop seeds from DJ Short, you know you're messing with royalty, and Old Time Moonshine is the crown jewel of his heirloom hashplant lines. Often referred to simply as OTM, this strain was bred for one thing: unbelievable resin production. It’s a true-blue hashplant selected from his famous "Blue" family lines, leaning heavily on the F5 generation of Blue Moonshine. The goal wasn't just raw THC; it was about capturing that complex, musky-fruity aroma that smells exactly like a freshly baked blueberry muffin cooling on a wooden windowsill.
Growers on Rollitup and THCFarmer have been chasing these beans for decades. OTM grows stout and fast, usually finishing in just 7 to 8 weeks of flower. But the real magic happens in the glandular trichomes. The resin heads are massive, making it an absolute dream for hash makers. The high is completely unique—it's this warm, wrap-around-you blanket of a stone that feels completely nostalgic and comforting, minus the heavy anxiety of modern high-test sativas. It’s a genuine feel-good medicine.
Finding pure, uncrossed OTM today is like finding a needle in a haystack. DJ Short occasionally cracks the vault for limited drops under Old World Genetics, and they sell out in minutes. Breeders like Mosca Seeds did the community a solid with their OTM Project, using a select male to preserve those traits in various crosses. But if you manage to find a private stash of the original, guard it with your life. It’s a rare window into the golden age of boutique breeding.

Growing Old Time Moonshine: what to expect
As an indica-leaning plant, expect a modest stretch after the flip (roughly 50–100%) and dense bud structure — which makes late-flower humidity discipline the main risk: keep RH in the 40s once buds fatten to stay ahead of mold. Growers familiar with Mostly Indica will recognize much of its behavior. Whatever the listing says, the cut in YOUR tent is the ground truth: log feedings, readings, and photos, and let the trends — not the label — drive decisions.
