How to grow Moby Dick
Taste
Seb's take
White Widow and Haze, sourced from an American hunt for the most resinous sativa phenotypes going and finished in the Amsterdam labs. Sweet, earthy citrus on the nose; the high runs uplifting and creative at 65 per cent sativa, with just enough indica to keep the beast housebroken. A strain with proper decades behind it.
Where it comes from
White Widow and Haze sit behind this one, and the record gives it a proper history: the genetic material was sourced in the United States, where the hunt was on for the most resinous sativa phenotypes going, then finished in the famed Amsterdam labs. The result runs sixty-five per cent sativa, with the indica third playing the role of keeping the beast, in the record's phrase, housebroken. A feminized strain with genuine decades behind it, and a name chosen to match the scale.
Nose & flavour
Sweet, earthy and citrus, a nose that balances the White Widow resin with the Haze brightness. The sweetness leads, the earth grounds it, and the citrus lifts it back up at the end. It is a full profile, in keeping with a plant this size, nothing thin or one-note about it. Rich and rounded, as befits the pedigree.
The high
The effect is uplifting and creative, the characteristic sativa lift that sixty-five per cent leaning brings, kept in check by just enough indica to stop it running away with itself. That housebroken third is what makes the strength manageable rather than overwhelming. A bright, active, head-forward experience with a leash on it. Company for the day, with the whale kept on a rein.
Growing it
She reaches 110 to 130cm, a solid medium, and takes 60 to 70 days in flower. Yields are heavy at 750 g/m², with THC noted at a considerable 27 to 29% and CBD around one per cent. The resin the American hunt was chasing shows up in the finished flower, sticky and abundant. A generous, potent plant with a long history and the yields to justify the fuss. Standard care handles her, though the strength at harvest asks for a measured hand afterward.
