Moon Pie
Moon Pie
Also known as: MoonPie
Overview
Moon Pie is a sativa-dominant hybrid strain (70% sativa/30% indica) created through crossing Marshmellow OG and Chemdawg strains. Originally bred by Skunk House Genetics, this strain has gained recognition for its unique dessert-like qualities and high 19-25% average THC level. Named after the iconic dessert snack, Moon Pie delivers a harmonious fusion of sweet and creamy flavors that mirror its namesake. The strain has developed multiple phenotypes, leading to some confusion in lineage reports, with several distinct variations including different versions from various breeders sharing the memorable name.
Physically, Moon Pie produces dense and small heart-shaped olive green nugs with deep purple undertones, thin orange hairs and tiny, purple-tinted white crystal trichomes. The strain's appearance is particularly striking, with small, dense heart-shaped buds featuring olive green base with deep purple accents and thin, radiant orange pistils weaving through the compact structure. The buds are covered in a generous layer of resinous trichomes that give them a sparkling, crystalline appearance, making it visually appealing to both growers and consumers alike.

Growing Information
Moon Pie can be cultivated both indoors and outdoors with a flowering time of approximately 8-9 weeks (56-63 days). The strain reaches heights of 60-80 inches and requires about 75-83 days total from seed to harvest. Growers should maintain slightly acidic to neutral pH levels and monitor for pests regularly. For optimal yields of 10-15 ounces per plant, careful pruning improves air circulation and light penetration. The strain is considered moderately difficult to grow and benefits from experienced cultivation techniques. Plants tend to be hardy but can be susceptible to mold and dampness due to their dense bud structure. Regular defoliation and proper environmental control are recommended for best results.
