Colossal yields from a true classic
Moby Dick is a multi-award-winning hybrid that features the celebrated genetics of White Widow and Haze. This behemoth gained popularity across the globe for itsexceptional yields, easy-to-grow characteristic, and effects bordering psychedelic.
Perfect for cannabis gardeners of all skill levels, you can grow the strain using its regular, feminized, and autoflower seeds, with the last sprouting compact plants.
Boasting a classic “Sativa stone,” Moby Dick delivers a strong blow of euphoria followed by fatigue-trouncing energy and motivation. It’s an excellent strain for daytime use as it keeps users inspired and productive. You won’t ever have to dread social situations because of your wallflower personality when riding this whale. It’ll even get you through creative slumps and help you deal with stress, depression, nausea, and moderate pain.
The THC concentration of Moby Dick buds from feminized and regular seeds ranges between 17 to 22%, while auto crops have a more modest 13 to 17%. Despite their difference in psychoactive load, the effects are the same but will vary in intensity. This strain’s aroma and flavors remain consistent as well, so expect robust citrus notes with a subtle cedar- and incense-like quality.

Typical of Sativa varieties, Moby Dick produces slightly loose, often tapered flowers. They are light green with an impressively thick coat of trichomes. Once the buds are at their most potent, the shimmering trich layer turns white. Other signs that your plant is ready for harvest are light, wispy pistils transforming into curly, burnt orange hairs and yellowing sugar and fan leaves. You can grow any of these three types of seeds to achieve the enormous nugs of this strain.
Sativa strains earned the reputation of being challenging to grow, but Moby Dick is quite the exception. It’s ultra-demanding when it comes to light and nutrients but only requires minimal, nothing-out-of-the-ordinary plant care. She rarely troubles cultivators as she’s not only on the hardy side but also highly resistant to moisture-related concerns. Perhaps the biggest concerns with this voracious cannabis are her appetite and ability to stretch up 3.5 meters high.
Like the sperm whale she was named after, Moby Dick needs plenty of space and water. To get a mental picture of how big she can get, a considerably large area that can accommodate four White Widows can only fit two of this giant. The strain can triple in height during the flowering period, so plan ahead for the right timing to switch to the 12/12 cycle. We recommend transitioning after three weeks of vegetative growth. This should give her enough time to develop strong enough branches to carry her heavy buds even without support.
The more light the flowers receive in the fruiting period, the bigger they get. Moby Dick’s main cola will undoubtedly be her crown jewel unless apical dominance is eliminated. If grown in a warm setting and given what she needs (loads of lights and feeding), growers can achieve 650 grams per square meter after flowering for 8 to 10 weeks indoors or a mind-blowing 1500 grams per sun-grown plant, which can be harvested by mid to late October.
Moby Dick autoflower is suitable for growers in places with less than ideal climate conditions or those with limited grow space. She only reaches up to 130 cm high and goes from seed to harvest in just 10 to 11 weeks. Despite her fast growth, she produces abundant amounts of huge buds glistening in frosty resin.
We recommend watering Moby Dick Auto often but sparingly, and using a soil mix with 1/3 coco fiber, which will help accelerate her metabolism. She thrives indoors and can produce 40 to 180 grams per square meter, particularly if grown under 600 Watt HPS for 20 to 24 hours. In places with a Mediterranean climate, an outdoor-grown MD Auto can share around 70 to 230 grams per plant from April to October.
How can I prevent stem and branch breakage when Moby Dick starts flowering?
Moby Dick plants are beautiful and majestic, with long, flowing stems and branches. However, when they are in full bloom, the weight of the flowers can cause the stem and branches to bend or even break. To prevent this, growers often install stem or branch supports. These supports allow the plant to continue growing tall and strong while ensuring that the flowers do not weigh it down.
There are a few different ways to install stem branch supports. The most common method is to tie the support to the plant’s main stem using twine or wire. The support should be positioned to bear the weight of the flowering sites. It is essential to ensure that the support is not too tight, as this can damage the stem. Once in place, the support should be checked periodically to make sure that it is still securely in place. Another option is to stake the support into the ground next to the plant. This method is typically used for taller plants, as it provides more stability. Whichever method you choose, install your stem branch supports before your cannabis plants begin flowering.
Why is a suitable pH range important in cannabis plants, and how to correct when pH is too acidic or alkaline in soil?
The pH of a cannabis plant’s soil has a significant impact on the uptake of nutrients. In general, cannabis plants prefer slightly acidic soil with a pH between 6 and 7. However, the ideal pH can vary depending on the type of cannabis plant and the growth stage. For example, younger plants often do best in slightly more acidic conditions, while older plants may tolerate a broader range of pH levels. If the pH of the soil is too low (acidic), it can prevent the plant from taking up essential nutrients. This can lead to stunted growth and yellowing leaves. Conversely, if the soil is too alkaline (high pH), it can inhibit nutrient uptake and cause problems such as root burn. Luckily, there are several ways to correct an overly acidic or alkaline soil. For example, adding compost or lime can raise the pH of acidic soil, while sulfur can be used to lower the pH of alkaline soil. By paying attention to the pH of their plants’ soil, growers can ensure that their plants are getting the nutrients they need for robust growth.
