About Moby Dick
Moby Dick is a legendary sativa-dominant hybrid bred by the pioneering Spanish seed bank Dinafem in San Sebastian. A cross of a select Haze and White Widow, Moby Dick was created to combine the soaring sativa high and incense-like terpenes of Haze with the dense structure, resin production, and short flowering time of White Widow. The plant grows to massive heights and produces huge, resin-drenched buds. It became Spain's most famous commercial sativa, widely exported to the Netherlands. The aroma is complex, containing cedarwood, pine, incense, and a spicy lemon background. The high is highly potent and cerebral, delivering an energetic, creative, and long-lasting sativa buzz.
