White Moon
Also known as: White Moon OG, Moon White
White Moon Strain Overview
White Moon is a relatively modern hybrid cannabis strain that emerged in the early 2010s, though its exact origins remain somewhat obscure within the cannabis breeding community. The strain is believed to have been developed by crossing White Widow with an unknown indica-dominant parent, possibly a Moon-related strain, though this lineage is not definitively documented. Breeders aimed to combine White Widow's resin production and cerebral effects with the relaxing physical qualities of an indica, resulting in a balanced hybrid that has gained popularity in both medical and recreational markets.
The strain is characterized by its dense, frosty buds that are typically medium to large in size, with a coloration that ranges from pale green to almost white due to the heavy trichome coverage. The buds often display vibrant orange pistils that contrast sharply against the light background. White Moon's aroma profile is complex, combining earthy, piney notes with subtle citrus undertones, while the flavor tends to be smoother than many similarly potent strains, with a sweet aftertaste that lingers on the palate.
Notable features include its relatively fast flowering time compared to many hybrids and its adaptability to various growing environments. The strain has developed a reputation among users for providing a well-rounded experience that begins with cerebral stimulation before transitioning to physical relaxation, making it suitable for both daytime and evening use depending on dosage. While not as widely documented as some classic strains, White Moon has established a niche following among those seeking balanced effects without extreme sedation or stimulation.

White Moon Strain Growing Information
White Moon is considered a moderately difficult strain to cultivate, suitable for growers with some experience. The flowering time typically ranges from 8 to 10 weeks when grown indoors, with outdoor harvests occurring in late September to early October in northern hemisphere climates. Indoor yields average 400-500 grams per square meter, while outdoor plants can produce 500-600 grams per plant under optimal conditions.
The plant prefers a Mediterranean-like climate with consistent temperatures and moderate humidity when grown outdoors. Indoor cultivation is successful with both soil and hydroponic systems, though soil tends to enhance the flavor profile. White Moon plants typically reach a medium height of 100-150 cm indoors and 150-200 cm outdoors, with a bushy structure that benefits from pruning and training techniques like topping or low-stress training to maximize light penetration.
Special considerations include maintaining proper humidity control during flowering to prevent mold due to the dense bud structure, and providing adequate support for branches as buds develop. The strain responds well to organic nutrients and benefits from a flush period before harvest. White Moon is somewhat resistant to common pests and molds but requires careful monitoring in humid environments.
