White Moonshine

Lineage & Genetics

Cross: The White x Blue Moonshine

The White (also called "Triangle") is a clone-only, mostly indica plant with a flowering time of about 60 days. Krome, the grower who spread the cut, says it has no relation to White Widow, that it was named only for the sugar-white look of the finished buds, and that its real name is "Triangle" because it was a three-way cross; its exact parents have never been confirmed. OG Raskal Genetics, which made a selfed seed version called White S1 by reversing the clone and pollinating it with itself, describes the plant as growing "stocky and fairly squat," warns that it needs good air flow "with the amount of trichomes she produces," and gives 55-65 days of flowering with a medium yield — which is also the documented link between OG Raskal and Krome's The White, making the identification of this exact cut as the White Moonshine parent highly probable though never spelled out by any source. Blue Moonshine is DJ Short's plant, described by him as "the 'Blue' version of the 'White' family" and "a super potent blueberry Indica, coated with a strong concentration of tall standing trichomes" with a "very narcotic" body effect; he calls them "short, stout kush plants that produce dense, tight, rock hard nuggets of trichome coated bud. A true 'hash plant'," flowering in 7-8 weeks with above-average yield. Its genealogy runs back through Blueberry (F2) to the Blueberry Line (F1), which is Temple Flo x HTAF, where HTAF is the Highland Thai Afghani male DJ Short used in that line. What each parent contributes to White Moonshine specifically is secondary interpretation rather than breeder data: the commonly repeated reading is that The White contributes extreme trichome production while Blue Moonshine brings berry and floral notes with a calming indica structure, and the parents' own breeder descriptions point in that direction, but what White Moonshine itself actually expresses from each side has never been documented by any grower or breeder.

Terpene Profile

Aroma: Two independent consumer databases agree on a lemon-led nose. Leafly says it has "a lemony aroma," and AllBud describes "a memorable aroma of bold lemony hash." An AllBud reviewer in March 2016 wrote simply that it "smelled so good." Lemon plus hash is therefore the verified aroma, and AllBud's words "bold" and "memorable" are the only intensity data that exists, which is why the nose is rated loud at low confidence. Blueberry notes from the Blue Moonshine side are unverified: GrowDiaries mentions a "blueberry-hued mystique," but no first-hand grower or smoker report confirms berry in White Moonshine flower.

Flavor: AllBud describes "a taste of potent lemony hash that sweetens and intensifies upon exhale" and lists the flavors as "Hash, Sweet." The single Leafly user review calls the first taste "crisp and woodsy." Lemon, hash and some sweetness are the verified flavor notes; berry is not documented in the flower by any first-hand account.

Effects & Experience

Onset: Unknown. No source documents how quickly the effect arrives. Leafly and AllBud both describe euphoria arriving first, with AllBud saying the warm body high "slowly spreads from your head and neck throughout the rest of your body," but neither gives a time.

Verified across Leafly and AllBud as a euphoric onset that moves into full-body relaxation. Leafly writes: "Expect a euphoric high coupled with full-body relaxation, making White Moonshine a great strain to try before movie night," and its one user review describes first euphoria, then "a wonderful body high," advising novices against daytime use. AllBud calls it "calming and relaxing without leaving you overwhelmed or completely sedated," with introspective, spacey mental effects alongside the warm body high, and lists "Body High, Focus, Relaxing." The reported negatives — dry mouth and dry eyes from MarijuanaBreak — are generic and unverified.

Duration: Unverified. The only figure is a single AllBud user review saying it "Leaves u baked for hours!" No other source reports duration, so hours is one person's account rather than a documented range.

Grower's Notes

History & Origin

White Moonshine was bred by OG Raskal, a Los Angeles breeder also written as "Ogr" or "OGR," as part of his "White" hybrid series built on Krome's The White clone. The exact year he made the cross is unknown. OG Raskal Genetics is a documented breeder of White crosses — SeedFinder lists its White S1, made by reversing The White and pollinating it with itself, and THCFarmer lists its White Fire, White Skywalker OG and White Super Skunk releases — which fits him creating a The White x Blue Moonshine hybrid. Notably, there is no OG Raskal catalog page for White Moonshine, and the THCFarmer OG Raskal listing does not include it, supporting the view that it was a seedling or limited release rather than a catalog seed line. The one documented distribution event is a single day: OG Raskal teamed up with Ivan, described by Don as the "future Jungle Boys owner," for an exclusive release of hand-selected seedlings in Santa Fe Springs, California, featuring OG Raskal's "long sold out White hybrids (White Fire OG, White Strawberry, White Urkle ect)." Don of Sin City Seeds waited "in the rain for hours" and secured "one of the only White Moonshine... plants being offered that day." Kind Green Buds separately confirms that Ivan knew OG Raskal through early grow forums and that Jungle Boys has worked with OG Raskal plants, so Jungle Boys was a distributor or host at that release, not the breeder. On dating: Don writes that "in 2010 we harvested the first Sin City Seeds" from the pollen of that White Moonshine male, and a seed-bank description calls Blue Power "the 2010 cross that everything else at Sin City was built on top of," which places the seedling release around 2009 to 2010; one secondary page puts it "around 2009," which fits but is not confirmed by the primary account. Sin City Seeds itself was founded in 2010 in Las Vegas. Its market footprint as a named strain is essentially nil — White Moonshine was never a commercial seed or flower brand, and consumer engagement is minimal, with Leafly showing a single 5.0 rating and AllBud showing two votes and one review at 4.7. Its fame comes almost entirely through its offspring, above all Blue Power, and through Blue Power into SinMint Cookies, which Danny Danko named in High Times' "Top 10 Strains of 2014" on November 12, 2014. The breeder account also credits Over The Moon Kush with a "HighTimes Top Ten Strain Of The Year 2017," but that was not independently verified and belongs to a Blue Power descendant, not to White Moonshine.
