Moonwalk
Also known as: Moon Walk
Moonwalk Strain Overview
Moonwalk is a relatively rare hybrid cannabis strain that emerged in the early 2010s from the Pacific Northwest region of the United States. The strain's exact origins are somewhat obscure in cannabis breeding records, but it appears to have been developed by boutique breeders seeking to create a balanced hybrid with unique sensory characteristics. The name 'Moonwalk' references both the strain's reported uplifting effects and the smooth, gliding sensation some users describe.
Visually, Moonwalk typically produces medium-sized, conical buds with a dense structure characteristic of indica-dominant hybrids. The flowers exhibit a striking color palette ranging from deep forest green to occasional purple hues, often accented by vibrant orange pistils. A generous coating of trichomes gives the buds a frosty appearance that glistens under light. The strain's leaves tend to be broad with serrated edges, showing its indica heritage in the plant's morphology.
Moonwalk is noted for its complex aromatic profile that combines earthy base notes with brighter, citrusy accents. The strain's effects are generally described as balanced, beginning with cerebral stimulation that gradually transitions to physical relaxation. While not as widely documented as mainstream commercial strains, Moonwalk has maintained a niche following among connoisseurs who appreciate its nuanced effects and flavor profile. The strain's rarity means that consistent phenotypes can be difficult to find across different growers and regions.

Moonwalk Strain Growing Information
Moonwalk is considered a moderate-difficulty strain to cultivate, suitable for growers with some experience. The plants typically flower in 8-10 weeks indoors, with outdoor harvests ready by mid to late October in northern hemisphere climates. Indoor yields average 400-500 grams per square meter under optimal conditions, while outdoor plants can produce 500-700 grams per plant. Moonwalk prefers a Mediterranean-like climate with consistent temperatures and moderate humidity when grown outdoors. The plants tend to remain medium in height (100-150 cm indoors, 150-200 cm outdoors) with a bushy structure that benefits from pruning and training techniques like low-stress training. Growers should monitor for mold in dense buds during late flowering and maintain good air circulation. The strain responds well to both soil and hydroponic growing methods.
