Moby Dick

A multiple award-winner at international competitions and cups, Moby Dick has gained worldwide recognition for its aromatic profile and powerful effect. This sativa-dominant hybrid is favored by cannabis enthusiasts looking for exceptional, visually appealing strains and experimenting with yield-boosting techniques.

Genetics and Characteristics

Moby Dick is a feminized photoperiod sativa-dominant (75/25) hybrid with a high THC content of 18-25%. To create this strain, breeders used genetics derived from Haze and White Widow – the legendary duo with an unblemished reputation, aristocratic lineage, set of undeniable virtues and unmatched qualities that have proven themselves for decades. In short, these two are undisputed icons in the world of cannabis breeding. In recognition of their offspring's incredible productivity and ability to form elongated, massive colas, the creators decided to emphasize the strain's individuality by naming it after Herman Melville's famous book.

Typical sativa plants with an upright structure, spreading branches and wide internodes create an elegant and open plant. Indoor flowering takes 9-10 weeks. During this time, the hybrid can reach a height of up to 1.5 m (5 ft) with a yield of around 700 g/m² (25 oz) of fragrant, airy buds. Outdoors, the strain's stature can result in a height of up to 3 m (10 ft) with a harvest that can reach an impressive 2 kilos (4.4 lb) [!] of premium flowers from each plant.

Flavor and Aroma

Dried and cured buds emit the scent of cedar and ripe lemons. Grinding them adds a woody note and when ignited, the composition reveals richer shades with hints of ripe fruits, vanilla, sweet floral notes, hashish, spices, salad seasoning, a touch of rose and jasmine, as well as an earthy and slightly skunky note on exhalation.

Recreational and Medicinal Use

Ahoy, whalers! Tread carefully with this mythical creature, for behind its grace and attractiveness lies a natural power capable of humbling even seasoned "sailors". Meeting the "whale" promises vivid impressions, but one miscalculation in dosage and the powerful "whale's tail" can strike so hard that you'll have to grab a piece of wreckage, hoping to catch the current and return to the familiar shores of reality. The power of Moby Dick can elevate the experienced stoner to ecstatic heights of joy, accompanied by an intense surge of energy and sociability. Responsible use activates creativity and stimulates brain activity to the max, relaxing the nervous system. The strain effectively alleviates depression, stress, fatigue, loss of motivation, and helps find solutions to tasks that require out-of-the-box thinking.

Cultivation

Being open, robust, and adaptable, Moby Dick is rightly considered one of the best choices for a first grow. Key recommendations include the use of a good lighting setup and the establishment of a consistent watering and feeding schedule. These two factors will largely determine the ultimate success. Strong immunity and a wide range of flavonoids provide reliable protection against pests and fungal infections.

The strain is resistant to the heat and prefers a moderately sunny climate, making it less suited to northern regions where yields may be lower than indicated. Moby Dick responds well to all types of training. The optimal pot size is no less than 25 liters (6.6 gallons).
