Moon Fog
Also known as: Moonfog
Moon Fog Strain Overview
Moon Fog is a relatively modern hybrid cannabis strain that has gained attention among enthusiasts for its balanced effects and distinctive aromatic profile. While its exact origins are somewhat obscure in the cannabis breeding community, it is generally understood to be a carefully selected cross, likely developed in the late 2010s. The strain's name evokes its reported effects—a dreamy, calming high that some users describe as being enveloped in a gentle, hazy fog. It is not considered a mainstream commercial strain and is more commonly found in boutique or craft cannabis circles, which contributes to some variability in its reported characteristics.
The plant typically produces dense, resinous buds that are a vibrant green, often interspersed with deep purple hues, especially when exposed to cooler temperatures during the flowering stage. A thick coating of frosty trichomes gives the buds a shimmering, moonlit appearance, which is a key visual characteristic. The buds are usually medium to large in size and have a slightly conical, spade-like shape. The leaves may exhibit a dark green coloration with occasional amber pistils weaving through the calyxes.
Moon Fog is noted for its complex terpene profile, which delivers a multi-layered sensory experience. The aroma is often described as a primary blend of sweet, fruity notes with underlying earthy and diesel undertones, creating a pungent yet inviting scent. The flavor upon consumption tends to mirror the aroma, with a smooth smoke or vapor that leaves a sweet, slightly spicy aftertaste. Its effects are typically characterized as a cerebral onset that gradually melts into full-body relaxation, making it a versatile strain for various times of day.

Moon Fog Strain Growing Information
Moon Fog is considered a strain of moderate difficulty to cultivate, making it more suitable for growers with some experience. It can be grown successfully both indoors and outdoors, though indoor cultivation allows for better environmental control. The plant tends to exhibit a hybrid structure with moderate height, typically reaching between 3 to 5 feet (0.9 to 1.5 meters) indoors, and potentially taller outdoors. The flowering time is approximately 8 to 10 weeks when grown indoors. Outdoor harvest in the Northern Hemisphere usually occurs around mid to late October. Yields are generally moderate to high, with indoor growers reporting about 1.5 to 2 ounces per square foot (450 to 600 grams per square meter) under optimal conditions. The plant benefits from techniques like low-stress training (LST) to manage height and improve light penetration. It is moderately resistant to common molds and pests but requires good air circulation, especially in humid climates. Growers should monitor nutrient levels carefully as the plant can be sensitive to overfeeding.
