Royal Moby
Royal Moby
Also known as: Moby Dick (related strain)
Overview
Royal Moby is a sativa-dominant hybrid strain (65% sativa/35% indica) developed by Royal Queen Seeds as their interpretation of the legendary Moby Dick genetics. This powerful strain is created by crossing two cannabis classics: Haze and White Widow, resulting in a plant that exhibits predominantly sativa characteristics while retaining some indica resilience. Named after Herman Melville's famous whale due to its massive size and potent effects, Royal Moby represents a Dutch refinement of Spanish breeding work that aimed to capture the full psychoactive potential of pure sativa strains.
The strain is renowned for its towering stature, capable of reaching up to 3 meters in height outdoors, and its exceptional yields. Royal Moby produces dense, heart-shaped bright emerald-green buds adorned with vibrant orange pistils and a frosty coating of purple-white crystal trichomes. The plant's impressive resin production and robust growth patterns make it a favorite among commercial cultivators willing to accommodate its space requirements and longer flowering period. Despite being a predominantly sativa strain, Royal Moby maintains a relatively manageable flowering time of 9-10 weeks, inherited from its indica genetics, making it more accessible to growers than pure landrace sativas.

Growing Information
Royal Moby has a moderate cultivation difficulty level and thrives best in hot, tropical climates similar to Brazil, Colombia, India, Mexico, and Thailand. Outdoors, plants can reach impressive heights of 2-3 meters and yield approximately 650-700 grams per plant. Indoor cultivation produces plants 80-140 cm tall with yields of 550-600 grams per square meter. The flowering time is 9-10 weeks (63-70 days), with outdoor harvest typically ready by mid to late October. The strain requires ample space due to its sativa dominance and vigorous growth pattern. It shows high mold resistance and is available exclusively as feminized seeds. Growers should provide adequate support for branches during late flowering due to heavy cola development.
