Growing Moby Dick CBD

Moby Dick CBD is a rookie grower’s best friend. This strain forgives most grow room mistakes in their mild form. If you can handle its vigorous growth, you will reap abundantly with minimal effort or skills.

Height and Stature

Moby Dick CBD’s sativa genetics express their dominance with a medium to tall height. Reaching up to 3 meters outdoors, the plants love plenty of space with equally aggressive horizontal growth. 

However, the Christmas tree-shaped plants are robust and tend to hold up well with heavy buds. Even better, the abundant inter-nodal spaces help with light penetration and aeration.

Feminized and Photoperiod

Well, Moby Dick CBD cannabis seeds are truly feminized. This is important as it eliminates males from your grow room that destroy smokable buds through pollination. No sexing troubles either.

This strain is not the fastest when it comes to flowering. However, after 10-12 weeks, it offers you breathtaking buds filled with sticky resin. You can encourage it to start flowering early by switching from an 18/6 lighting cycle to 12/12.

Adaptability and Yield

With a more extended flowering period, the plants do well in Mediterranean climates, which are warm and sunny. Northern hemisphere growers take advantage of their hottest months between March and October. On the other hand, Southerners grow their Moby Dick CBD between September and April.

Wondering how she yields? This girl is a monstrous yielder. Indoors, you can look up to 650 grams per square meter. She does even better outdoors where light and space are abundant to achieve between 600 and 900 grams per plant.

Controlling Moby Dick’s CBD Stature for Optimal Yields

For indoor growers, space may be a limiting factor to getting the best of Moby Dick CBD. Here are proven tips that will help you manage the plants’ stature for maximum yields.

Height Limiting Grow Strategies

First, we will have a look at limiting the overall size of these plants. This is crucial as it encourages more branching for more bud sites.

1. Early Topping– This involves pinching off the head of the main stem around the second node. For the best results, it is done when the plants have 4-6 nodes.
2. Super Cropping– Bend the long branches for a more horizontal canopy. Be careful not to snap them completely.
3. Pruning– Removing any excess foliage or weaker growth, especially on the lower end, helps focus on the main branches.
4. Container Size– An extensive root system supports bigger plants. Using a smaller container of about 3-5 gallons will help you restrict root development. This, in turn, suppresses the plant’s overall stature.
5. Lighting Control– During the vegetative stage, keep the lights closer to the plants. This helps them avoid stretching in search of light.

Branch and Bud Support Systems

The plant may be robust, but the size of its bulky buds requires precautionary measures to prevent snapping. Indoor plant cages or trellis come in handy in distributing the weight of the buds across the plant.

Stakes work best to support the main branches of larger plants outdoors. Tie them with a string gently to keep them upright. Be careful not to damage the stems. You can also use scaffolds for the heavier colas.

Heavy Feeder Requirements

With vigorous growth, monstrous stature and high yield pot1212ential comes heavy feeding. Give it too much, and it will balloon to uncontrollable heights. Give it too little, and it will stress you out. Here is how to balance its feeding.

During the vegetative stage, ensure a richer nitrogen mix. As for flowering, lower the nitrogen while slightly increasing the phosphorus and potassium. Supplement these base nutrients with micronutrients for healthier and stronger plants. 

Controlling the pH of your growing medium is essential as it impacts nutrient absorption in the roots. Regularly monitor the pH and keep it more neutral, around 6.0 to 7.0.  Using clean water with a neutral pH maintains the consistency of your growing medium.

Origin And History

The original Moby Dick strain was so good it had to get a CBD version. To make this strain, Dina fem breeders crossed the original Moby Dick genetics with an elite CBD clone from CBD Crew. The result is a strain with Moby Dick’s powerful yield and vigor but with fewer THC effects and more CBD benefits.
