Moon Glow
Also known as: Moon Glow OG, Moon Glow Kush
Moon Glow Strain Overview
Moon Glow is a balanced hybrid cannabis strain that emerged in the early 2010s from California's Emerald Triangle region. Breeders developed this strain by crossing two popular West Coast varieties: Blue Dream and OG Kush. The strain gained recognition for its unique combination of cerebral stimulation and physical relaxation, making it suitable for both daytime and evening use. Moon Glow's name reflects its distinctive appearance under certain lighting conditions, where the dense buds appear to emit a subtle luminescent quality.
Visually, Moon Glow produces medium to large-sized buds with a dense, conical structure. The flowers display a vibrant green coloration with occasional purple hues that become more pronounced during cooler nighttime temperatures. A thick layer of frosty trichomes covers the buds, giving them a shimmering appearance that inspired the strain's name. Orange pistils weave throughout the dense foliage, creating a striking contrast against the green and purple background. The buds are typically resinous and sticky to the touch, breaking apart with a satisfying snap that releases the strain's complex aroma.
Moon Glow has become particularly popular among both recreational and medical cannabis users for its versatile effects profile. The strain maintains a relatively balanced genetic heritage, with most phenotypes expressing approximately 50% indica and 50% sativa characteristics. This equilibrium allows users to experience mental clarity and creativity alongside physical comfort without overwhelming sedation. Moon Glow's popularity has spread beyond its California origins, though it remains most commonly available in legal markets on the West Coast of the United States.

Moon Glow Strain Growing Information
Moon Glow is considered a moderately difficult strain to cultivate, making it more suitable for growers with some experience. The plants typically flower within 8-10 weeks indoors and are ready for outdoor harvest in late September to early October. Indoor growers can expect medium to high yields of approximately 14-18 ounces per square meter. Outdoor plants can produce 16-20 ounces per plant under optimal conditions. Moon Glow prefers a Mediterranean climate with consistent temperatures and low humidity to prevent mold development. The plants tend to grow to a medium height of 4-6 feet, making them manageable for both indoor and outdoor cultivation. Special considerations include maintaining proper airflow around the dense buds and monitoring for pests, as the strain's resin production can attract insects. Nutrient requirements are moderate, with particular attention needed during the flowering phase when the plants develop their characteristic dense bud structure.
