Moby Dick Feminized Growing Information
History & Genetics
Moby Dick, a sativa-dominant strain, was developed by the breeders at Dinafem by crossing Haze and White Widow. Its name hints at its impressive yields, which can reportedly reach up to 1,500 grams per square meter. With THC levels potentially reaching 20%, Moby Dick is known for its potency.
Appearance, Aroma & Flavor
This strain typically showcases a light green hue, adorned with a generous layer of trichomes. It emits an inviting herbal and citrusy aroma. The flavor profile is similarly enticing, featuring herbal and citrus notes with a dank, earthy finish on the exhale.
Effects
Moby Dick is known for its highly psychoactive effects, largely due to its high tetrahydrocannabivarin (THCV) content. It delivers a powerful euphoria, inducing spacey, happy, and mildly psychedelic sensations with just one or two hits. Users often report feeling creative and focused initially, with strong cerebral effects that taper off after about an hour, followed by lingering effects for another two hours. Alongside the mental effects, it provides a pleasant body-numbing sensation and can significantly boost appetite. However, it’s important to note that consuming high doses may lead to dry eyes, dry mouth, paranoia, dizziness, and anxiety.
Medical Benefits
Moby Dick is specifically designed as a potent medical strain, ideal for daytime use despite the potential for post-use lethargy. Its cerebral effects are commonly used to alleviate symptoms of stress, anxiety, and depression. Additionally, it is a popular choice for patients experiencing a loss of appetite due to chemotherapy or other conditions. While the body high can help with mild aches and pains, it may not be sufficient for managing severe pain.
Moby Dick strain helps with:

- Depression25% of people say it helps with depression
- Anxiety19% of people say it helps with anxiety
Growing
Moby Dick comes in two phenotypes: a dominant sativa variety that can grow up to twelve feet outdoors, and a smaller, indica-dominant phenotype, which appears around 35% of the time.
This strain can be cultivated both indoors and outdoors, though it is not recommended for novice growers. Indoors, Moby Dick has a flowering period of about ten weeks. It requires careful monitoring, including maintaining an electrical conductivity level between 1.5 and 2, and using 800 watts per square meter of light. Growers should also ensure that pH levels remain below 6.5 to maximize yield.
Outdoors, Moby Dick is relatively low-maintenance and, with optimal conditions, can produce exceptionally high yields.
Feeding
- All Cannabis strains, require a full spectrum nutrient complete with the macro nutrients such as Nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium and the secondary nutrients and micronutrients like, calcium, sulphur, hydrogen, magnesium, manganese, carbon, iron, zinc etc.
- For coco/perlite grows, we recommend Nutrifield Coco A&B for use throughout the entire grow, with Nutrifield Organic BUD BURST at the beginning of the flowering phase right through to harvest. As bud burst is organic, this ensures a nice smooth, super clean tasting smoke that you will love!
- For soil based growing (not recommended), just make sure you use a high quality soil rich in organic matter such as compost and manure. Note that manure if high in nitrogen which you’ll want to reduce during the flowering stage.
- During the flowering stage, change the ratio so you are using up to three times more phosphorus than nitrogen and potassium. Also continue to add in secondary nutrients such as iron, copper, and manganese. The best way to do this is simply to use orgnanic Bud Burst during flowering all the way as this will ensure a smooth finish with no chemical taste. Amazing stuff!
- For organic grows, we recommend Aptus Baseboost organic nutrient with coco/perlite 70/30 ratio. This stuff is highly concentrated so a little goes a long way making it great value. Simply add the pellets to the coco as per the instructions and it will completely transform any inert growing medium into a powerful full spectrum grow media..
Growing Tips
- Your plants will need consistent air flow and good ventilation, whether you are choosing the perfect spot for an outdoor grow, or are growing in an indoor grow room. They need air that is rich in oxygen, to help prevent respiration, deter any pests, and allow your plant to grow healthy and strong. Use fans to help circulate air, or if you can afford it, exhaust systems are an excellent choice.
Why buy ‘Feminized’ Seeds
- Marijuana plants are either male or female. The male flower produces sacs or pollen designed to fertilize the female flower which produces white pistols designed to absorb the pollen. If no male plants are present in the growing area, than the female plant will just grow larger and larger flowers in search of pollen. These flowers are the cannabis buds that we all know and love. The male plants hold only minuscule amount of THC, while the female flowers are oozing with THC crystals (the good stuff). For this reason, marijuana growers are seeking only female plants in the grow room (unless they want alot of seedy buds).Feminsed seeds have been cultivated in a precise way so that the seed is genetically more likely to produce a female plant. Autoflower seeds automatically transition from the vegetative phase to the flowering stage without you needing to adjust their light exposure.
