Moby Dick XXL Auto
The genetics of this strain are well known for producing huge yields, so the automatic version should perform very well. This automatic variety is a cross of White Widow x Haze Auto so I expect to get a good plant height and bud structure. The genetics that are used are from existing autos well known for performance and production. The seeds are germinated and sprout overnight. I prepare them in coco jiffies and will transplant them straight into my 15 liter fabric pot. I expect these girls to grow huge and very wide also so will make sure they are given plenty of space to grow. After one week they are in the fabric pots and are now enjoying the sun.
14 days in and the new leaves are light green and serrated. The leaves seem to be quite wide and long which shows me signs of the White Widow genetics coming through strong. I feed the plants by hand and give them their usual friendly mix from the Biobizz range. Nearly 21 days in now and the leaves are growing larger each day and also taller. The plant height is around 12 inches and the stem that is forming is becoming pencil thick. This strain is growing fast and every time I feed, she responds in height and leaf growth. I rub my nose underneath the plant and get an idea of how this will smell. The aroma is sharp and mildly citrus so for now it seems there is a haze dominance coming through.
After 30 days and this automatic variety is 44 cm and still growing fast. The first lots of pistils are forming and it looks wonderful. This plant has an excellent structure and vigor to it and loves heavy feedings. I noticed when growing the Moby Dick in the past, that also loved to drink and drink and heavy nutrient loads also. At day 36 and the width of this plant is measuring a4 74cm so you can imagine the structure this plant has at only five weeks in. There are now many buds forming and I can see the plant will totally fill out and produce some very heavy yields.
To examine the forming buds, the calyxes are quite airy but dense unlike an indica variety so it will be interesting to see what type of flower grows here. 40 days into the grow cycle and the plants are receiving plenty of sunshine, so in return grow thick and fast. I must say out of all of the automatics I have grown, this strain is really setting the benchmark in terms of performance. The newly growing buds have a pink and purple glow to them and the aroma is a sweet pine lemon, so at this point there is a strong mix of haze and white genetics smell wise.
The plant is measuring at just under 95cm and looks like it will want to grow even more, which does not surprise me as the genetics state the autos are from XXL lines from Dinafem. The feeding schedule remains the same and this strain is really pushing out frosty buds. Every single new leaf growing has a tropical frosting to it and the plant from a far looks wonderful. This variety is growing many leaves so when trimming you may need to take extra time, however this is an indication of the amount of flowers being produced. 50 days in now and the Moby Dick XXL Auto is really impressing me in terms of performance, yield and stature.
You could easily be fooled into believing this straight was not even an automatic, as that is how well this plant is growing. Now measuring at almost 130 cm and growing thick top and bottom buds, this strain should be finished in 2 more weeks according to Dinafem. A very wide plant also so make sure you give this one plenty of height and width. Even though the plants are firmly flowering, the plant is still growing and is certainly one of the tallest automatic strains out there. I keep feeding a heavy organic mix and watch as the buds turn from the original fluffy state to a harder dense squeezable nug.65 days of growing and as August temperatures stay lovely and warm, this variety absolutely loves these conditions. Now when smelling the white frosty buds, there is a pine citrus sandal wood, which reminds me of classic widow. The highest bud on this plant is measuring at 141 cm so like I say be prepared to give this one plenty of headroom if growing indoor or outdoor in a greenhouse.
72 days of growing now and as the entire plant is covered with flowers forming at every node, harvest is not far away. I will feed just plain water now to push the plants during their last week. The buds are really swollen and have an orange and pink glow to them making this plant really stand out from the rest. The aroma of the buds is strong but sweet and pine. Continuing to flush with only water, the plants look ready to harvest but I will leave to grow for another week or so and make sure the whole plant has had chance to produce buds with biomass. Time to chop on day 81 and what a harvest! There is a lot of trimming to do and making sure I get every single sugar coated leaf will be meticulous but well worth it. After 11 days of drying the buds are ready to be tested and cured.
The buds are light and have a large size to them considering how light they feel. The smell is a sweet lemon pine when grinding the buds, it can smell like a mix of lemon haze and skunk. The effects are very cerebral and the high is very good for creativity and for high energy, although I would say smoking this strain late at night could keep you up instead of helping sleep. Overall I would say this is a fantastic strain that has to be seen to be believed, with a staggering 124 grams dry buds of frosty fruity sweet goodness.
