Moby Dick 2 by Dinafem
Haze × White Widow
Moby Dick #2 is a second-generation sativa-dominant hybrid developed by Dinafem, building upon the success of the original Moby Dick. It was bred to enhance sativa characteristics, vigor, and potency, while maintaining high yields and a clear, cerebral effect profile. This refinement aims for a more predictable and robust cultivation experience.
Appearance
Moby Dick #2 typically presents as a medium-tall to tall plant with strong apical dominance, though it responds well to topping for broader canopies. The internodes are moderately spaced, allowing for long, well-lit colas. This cultivar boasts a better-than-average calyx-to-leaf ratio for a sativa-leaning strain, which simplifies the trimming process. Dried flowers are usually lime to forest green, adorned with amber-orange pistils and often covered in a heavy, glassy layer of trichomes that gives them a silvery appearance. Nug structure is generally medium-density and spear-shaped, with large bud sizes achievable due to its elongated cola development.
Aroma & Flavor
The aroma of Moby Dick #2 is characterized by bright citrus zest and a distinct Haze incense, often indicating a terpinolene-dominant profile. Initial grinding can release notes of pine resin and fresh-cut wood, complemented by herbal and slightly floral undertones. Secondary aromas may include sweet lemon peel and eucalyptus, with a subtle white pepper note suggesting the presence of caryophyllene. Upon further curing, hints of cedar, green mango skin, and light fuel can emerge, contributing to a clean, airy, and invigorating olfactory experience.
Flavors can mirror the aroma, presenting bright citrus, lemon, and earthy notes, alongside herbal and floral characteristics. Some users also detect hints of mango and coffee, creating a complex and engaging palate. The overall taste is often described as clean and refreshing, aligning with its sativa-dominant nature.
Effects
Moby Dick #2 is known for delivering a potent cerebral and energetic high, characteristic of its sativa heritage. The effects are often described as clear and focused, making it suitable for daytime use or tasks requiring mental acuity. While powerfully uplifting, it is also noted for provoking minimal appetite stimulation, a trait that distinguishes it from many indica-heavy strains. This makes it a popular choice for those seeking a potent effect without significant munchies.
Terpenes & Cannabinoids
Moby Dick #2 is a sativa-dominant hybrid, typically measuring between 70–80% sativa genetics. Its THC content is notably high, generally ranging from 24–27%, with CBD levels consistently below 1%. The terpene profile is often dominated by terpinolene, contributing to its bright aroma and energetic effects. Other terpenes commonly found include caryophyllene, which may add a subtle peppery note and potential anti-inflammatory properties, and linalool, known for its floral and calming aromatic qualities. Humulene may also be present, contributing to the earthy aroma.
Growing
Moby Dick #2 is recognized for its vigorous vegetative growth and resilience, performing well in both indoor and outdoor settings, particularly in temperate and Mediterranean climates. It can tolerate aggressive feeding and strong lighting without issue, making it suitable for high-intensity cultivation. Expect a significant stretch during the transition to flowering, typically 2x–3x, which can result in broad canopies and uniform top colas with proper training techniques like SCROG. The flowering period is generally moderate, and the cultivar is known for producing large yields of dense, resinous flowers.
Origins & Lineage
Moby Dick #2 is a refined iteration of Dinafem's original Moby Dick. It is a cross between a selected Haze strain and a resin-heavy White Widow. This genetic pairing results in a plant that leans heavily towards sativa characteristics, estimated at 70–80% sativa. The Haze lineage contributes to its elongated growth patterns and bright, cerebral effects, while the White Widow component enhances resin production, bud density, and overall plant resilience. Dinafem focused on stabilizing this cross to achieve consistent vigor, potency, and yield.
