Also known as: Moby Dick CBD, White Moby
Moby Dick Strain Overview
Moby Dick is a sativa-dominant cannabis strain developed by the Spanish seed bank Dinafem Seeds. The strain was created by crossing two legendary parent strains: White Widow, a classic hybrid known for its resin production and balanced effects, and Haze, a pure sativa celebrated for its cerebral stimulation and energetic properties. This genetic combination results in a strain that inherits the best qualities of both lineages, creating a unique profile that has gained popularity among cannabis enthusiasts worldwide.
The strain is named after Herman Melville's famous literary whale, reflecting its powerful effects and substantial size. Moby Dick plants are known for their impressive stature, often reaching heights of 2-3 meters when grown outdoors, with indoor plants typically growing to 1.5-2 meters. The buds are dense and resinous, featuring a frosty white coating of trichomes that gives them a sparkling appearance reminiscent of snow or ice. The coloration typically includes vibrant green hues with occasional orange pistils weaving through the dense flower structure.
Moby Dick has become particularly notable for its high THC content, which can reach up to 24% in optimal growing conditions. The strain's effects are characteristically sativa-dominant, providing an energetic and cerebral experience that many users find uplifting and creative. Despite its sativa dominance, some phenotypes may exhibit slightly more balanced effects due to the influence of the White Widow genetics. The strain has won several cannabis awards, including first place in the sativa category at the 2013 High Times Cannabis Cup in Amsterdam, cementing its reputation as a premium sativa variety.

Moby Dick Strain Growing Information
Moby Dick is considered a moderately difficult strain to cultivate, making it more suitable for intermediate to experienced growers. The flowering time is approximately 9-11 weeks indoors, with outdoor harvests typically ready in late October in the Northern Hemisphere. The strain produces high yields, with indoor plants yielding 500-600 grams per square meter and outdoor plants producing 600-800 grams per plant under optimal conditions.
Moby Dick thrives in both indoor and outdoor environments but prefers a warm, Mediterranean-like climate when grown outdoors. The plants grow tall and require adequate vertical space, making them better suited for larger grow areas or outdoor cultivation. Regular pruning and training techniques like topping or SCROG (Screen of Green) are recommended to manage height and maximize light exposure to lower branches. The plants are relatively resistant to common molds and pests but benefit from good air circulation and humidity control, especially during the flowering phase when the dense buds can be susceptible to bud rot in humid conditions.
