Moby Dick

Moby Dick: Resiny White Whale

Moby Dick Seeds grow into super tall plants covered in white trichomes from head to toe. The plant sports a mix of long and short leaves, the longer leaves are at the bottom of the buds while the shorter leaves sprout from the middle to top of the bud structure. The whole plant is dark green, with the buds appearing nearly white because of the dusty resin. Looking closely at the plant, it appears as if the leaves and buds are fuzzy, but again, that is because of the trichomes that cover this plant. Those trichomes are responsible for the THC content and make the plant sticky and pungent. The harvested nuggets are pale green with orange hairs, and they are super dense. Breaking apart the nuggets releases the earthy aroma that most Haze strains are known for. Moby Dick won “Girl of the Year” in 2010 at the Soft Secrets awards and also won Best Sativa at the 2011 Summer Cup. This strain also won the 2011 Argentina Silver Cup. International recognition has made Moby Dick one of the most talked about strains in the cannabis community. This resume has more and more growers planting Moby Dick seeds in their grow operations.

Growing Tips for Our Seeds

Moby Dick marijuana plants will thrive indoors and out so long as they are raised in a warm and sunny Mediterranean-like setting. Think about Florida in the Summer; that is the perfect setting to grow these seeds. Moby Dick plants tend to require a lot of attention making them difficult to grow if you don’t have any experience. You can grow this strain to harvest indoors or outdoors as long as you can dial in the climate to mimic what this strain is used to. You will need ample space to grow Moby Dick as the plants grow very tall, nearly ten feet tall, and require lots of head room. Growing outside ensures that you have as much vertical space as needed for this strain to peak.

Dial in Your Growing Conditions

• Indoor or Outdoor: Moby Dick cannabis plants can be grown indoors and outdoors by experienced growers. The ideal temperature for these plants is between 70-85 degrees Fahrenheit. Light requirements for this strain is 18-20 hours to ensure vegetative growth. To induce the flowering stage, you will need to change your light cycle to a 12/12 cycle. This will get you through the flowering stage and into harvest.
•  Moisture control: In terms of humidity levels, you’ll want to set it for 40-60% during the vegetative growth stage. To get the plants through to the flowering stage, you will need to drop the humidity to 40-50% so that you don’t find mold or bud rot on your plants.
• Training Techniques: Pruning and the Screen of Green (SCROG) methods are the best training techniques for this strain. Pruning is perfect for taller plants because it helps control the height and encourages bushier growth, leading to bigger buds. The Screen of Green method helps light reach the lower branches by adjusting the canopy using a mesh or screen.

Dominant Cannabinoids in Moby Dick:

Cannabinoids play an important role in Moby Dick seeds and are generally a huge part of most strains of cannabis. That happy, uplifted, and euphoric feeling you get when enjoying the Moby Dick strain is due to its dominant cannabinoids. Each cannabinoid does something different to the user.

• THC: The Main Character – THC is the most dominant cannabinoid on the molecular level of this strain. The crystalline compound tetrahydrocannabinol is the main ingredient of cannabis. Topping out at a massive 27%, the THC in this Sativa-dominant strain is responsible for the euphoric and happy feeling you get when enjoying Moby Dick cannabis.
• CBD: Very Minimal Amounts – While the CBD levels in Moby Dick are less than 1%, the cannabinoid is still present, and the effects are noticeable in this strain. CBD plays a smaller role in what the strain does to the user. CBD is non-psychoactive and can produce effects that help with anxiety, sleep, pain, and even stress. The CBD in the Moby Dick strain, even in its lower amounts, definitely has a positive effect on the user.
