Moby Dick is a sativa leaning reference line originally developed by Dinafem Seeds from Haze and White Widow. Silent Seeds now continues this classic Dinafem genetic. Other seed banks use separate Haze selections, different Sativa ratios or automatic parent lines.
Moby Dick strain combines a tall, open plant framework with White Widow stability, Haze structure and a clear focus on large productive flower areas. The familiar name no longer describes one identical seed line in every catalogue.
The historical reference came from the Dinafem Seeds programme. Silent Seeds continues this line as part of the Dinafem heritage. Barney’s Farm uses G13 Haze and White Widow. BSB Genetics offers its own White Widow and Haze combination. FastBuds transfers the name into an automatic seed format with a separate life cycle.

Moby Dick explained: What is the strain really?
Moby Dick is a sativa dominant seed line originally developed by Dinafem Seeds. The classic cross combines Haze with White Widow.
The current original continuation comes from Silent Seeds. Silent Seeds describes the Haze side more precisely as a Haze dominant Jack Herer selection. This places the historical reference as Haze dominant Jack Herer × White Widow.
Other seed banks use the recognised name within separate programmes. Barneys Farm works with G13 Haze × White Widow. BSB Genetics lists White Widow × Haze. FastBuds offers an automatic Moby Dick line with its own complete cycle.
Historical reference
The original Dinafem line from Haze and White Widow, now continued by Silent Seeds.
Modern seed bank version
A new selection using the Moby Dick name but potentially carrying a different Haze parent.
Automatic version
An independent autoflower line with age dependent flowering and a separate cycle.
The strain name connects these products thematically. Their actual genetics only become clear through the seed bank, cross and seed type.
The origin of Moby Dick at Dinafem Seeds
Moby Dick was developed by the Spanish seed bank Dinafem Seeds. The line emerged during a period when Dinafem combined recognised Dutch reference genetics with clear breeding goals for feminized seeds.
Two contrasting genetic areas formed the foundation:
- a Haze influenced side with height, longer internodes and open branching
- White Widow as a more compact, sturdy and resin focused counterweight
The aim was not simply to produce a tall Sativa plant. The framework needed to translate length and available area into heavy productive flower zones.
Dinafem developed a line with a strong main stem, wide side branching, substantial space requirements and a comparatively supportive structure. This relationship established the reputation of Moby Dick as a production focused Haze and White Widow reference.
Historical classification: The original Moby Dick belongs to the Dinafem programme. Current releases from other seed banks may use the same name without using the same selection or Haze parent.
When was Moby Dick created?
Silent Seeds describes the original Dinafem Moby Dick as a line developed more than 15 years before its current continuation. The strain was firmly established in the Dinafem catalogue by the 2000s.
Between 2007 and 2017, Moby Dick received recognition at several competitions and strain events. This sequence confirms that the cultivar is not a recent adoption of a recognised name, but a long established Dinafem reference.
After the end of the original Dinafem operation, the classic line entered the Silent Seeds catalogue. Silent Seeds presents itself as the direct successor to the Dinafem heritage and continues several earlier Dinafem classics.
Two separate questions are therefore necessary today:
- Which version descends from the historical Dinafem line?
- Which version was rebuilt later by another seed bank?
Moby Dick genetics: Haze and White Widow
Haze and White Widow serve different roles within the classic framework.
| Genetic area | Role within the line | Recurring traits |
|---|---|---|
| Haze | Main sativa influenced side | Height, longer internodes, open branching, later maturation and a bright spice direction |
| White Widow | Stabilising hybrid foundation | Stronger branches, denser flower structure, resin formation and a more substantial plant body |
This is not a fixed mathematical allocation. Structure, flowering time and profile develop through the complete selection.
The two genetic foundations are covered in Understanding Haze Genetics and White Widow Genetics.
Moby Dick shows why a recognised cross formula is not a complete strain description. The specific Haze selection and the visibility of White Widow in the seed line remain decisive.
What role does Jack Herer play in Moby Dick?
The historical Dinafem line is commonly shortened to Haze × White Widow. Silent Seeds describes the Haze side more precisely as a Haze dominant Jack Herer selection.
Jack Herer is therefore not an additional third parent outside the cross. It identifies the specific Haze influenced plant used by Dinafem as the parental side.
The more precise historical reading is:
Haze dominant Jack Herer selection × White Widow
The shorter Haze × White Widow formula remains acceptable as a seed bank description. The Jack Herer classification is still important in a genetics guide because it explains why the original Dinafem line is not automatically identical to every other Haze and White Widow cross.
The Dinafem heritage at Silent Seeds
Silent Seeds explicitly continues Moby Dick as an original Dinafem genetic. The strain belongs to the current classic feminized range.
The official product information lists:
- Haze × White Widow
- 60 percent Sativa and 40 percent Indica
- 60 to 70 days of flowering
- up to 3.5 metres outdoors
- Haze, floral notes, cedar and spices
The plant structure is described as large, wide and highly vigorous. Longer internodal spacing and a pronounced Christmas tree form belong to the typical framework.
The Silent Seeds version therefore stands closest to the historical reference. It is the first comparison point when the documented Dinafem line is required rather than any release using the Moby Dick name.
Important distinction: Silent Seeds did not originally create Moby Dick. The seed bank continues the line developed by Dinafem.
Moby Dick by Barney’s Farm
Barney’s Farm uses its own documented cross of G13 Haze and White Widow. The recognised Haze and White Widow framework remains, but the specific Haze side differs.
Barney’s Farm lists this version with:
- 75 percent Sativa and 25 percent Indica
- 63 to 70 days of flowering
- 120 to 140 cm indoor height
- 250 to 350 cm outdoor height
- citrus, Haze, pine, spice, incense and vanilla
Compared with the Silent Seeds reference, the Barney’s Farm line is classified with a stronger Sativa majority. The plant framework remains tall and open while the White Widow side adds density and stability.
This version is not simply a new package for the Dinafem line. G13 Haze as the documented parent makes it a separate Barney’s Farm selection.
Moby Dick by BSB Genetics
BSB Genetics lists Moby Dick as White Widow × Haze. The line is classified as 60 percent Sativa and 40 percent Indica, placing it numerically closer to the Silent Seeds version.
Flowering takes approximately 8.5 to 10 weeks. Longer internodes and pronounced side branching form an open, large scale framework.
The profile combines sweeter and lightly vanilla toned notes with earth and citrus. This gives the BSB version a softer direction than the stronger incense, cedar and spice emphasis of Silent Seeds.
The same parental names do not prove an identical selection. White Widow and Haze may come from different genetic libraries and may have been combined for different breeding goals.
Is Moby Dick Sativa or Indica?
The recognised Moby Dick versions are generally sativa dominant. The exact proportion differs by seed bank.
| Version | Sativa proportion | Indica proportion |
|---|---|---|
| Silent Seeds | 60% | 40% |
| Barney’s Farm | 75% | 25% |
| BSB Genetics | 60% | 40% |
| FastBuds Auto | 70% | 30% |
The visible structure supports this classification. Moby Dick generally grows taller, more openly and with stronger branching than compact Indica lines. White Widow prevents the structure from becoming only long and loose.
Direct answer
Moby Dick is generally a sativa dominant hybrid. The exact Sativa proportion and plant structure depend on the individual seed bank version.
Plant structure and recurring line traits
Moby Dick works through area, height and side branching. Plants are not limited to a compact main stem, but develop a larger framework with several productive zones.
Recurring structural traits include:
- strong main stem
- long and supportive side branches
- medium to long internodal spacing
- visible stretching
- open airflow through the plant body
- large flower areas with substantial weight
- a clear need for space and plant support
The White Widow side adds density and stability. This separates Moby Dick from very loose Haze lines whose height does not always translate into the same flower mass.
Indoor figures between approximately 120 and 150 cm appear frequently among modern versions. Photoperiod plants can grow beyond three metres outdoors.
Mark, Cannoptikum Crew: Moby Dick should not be treated like a compact White Widow. The Haze side determines the space requirement. An even side branch framework, sufficient spacing and early preparation for later weight are central.Profile direction and terpenes of Moby Dick
The classic Dinafem and Silent Seeds direction combines Haze, floral notes, cedar, spices, lemon and incense. The foundation is dry, woody and brighter than modern dessert profiles.
Barney’s Farm adds pine and a softer vanilla note. BSB Genetics shifts further towards sweet, earthy, citrus and vanilla tones. FastBuds lists lemon, pine and wood.
No single universal Moby Dick profile can be established from these descriptions. A shared space remains visible:
- citrus and lemon
- Haze and incense
- pine and wood
- spices
- floral or softer sweet notes depending on the version
The differences result from the Haze parent, the White Widow selection and later breeding work.
Cannabis Terpene Profiles provides the wider foundation.
Why Moby Dick versions from different seed banks differ
Moby Dick became a recognised strain name and was later used by several seed banks in their own programmes. Three main levels of difference follow.
Different Haze selection
Silent Seeds continues the Haze dominant Jack Herer side from Dinafem. Barney’s Farm uses G13 Haze.
Different selection
Height, flowering time, profile, production and plant stability may receive different priorities.
Different seed format
Photoperiod and automatic versions do not share the same life cycle or complete genetic structure.
The Moby Dick name therefore describes a genetic search space involving Haze, White Widow, size and production. It does not replace the specific product information.
Moby Dick comparison at Cannoptikum
The following four products show the historical continuation, a Barney’s Farm selection, a BSB interpretation and an automatic FastBuds line.
Moby Dick by Silent Seeds
Moby Dick by Silent Seeds is the main historical reference in the Cannoptikum range. Silent Seeds continues the original Dinafem line from Haze and White Widow.
The strain is classified as 60 percent Sativa and 40 percent Indica with 60 to 70 days of flowering. Outdoor height can reach approximately 3.5 metres. Haze, floral notes, cedar and spices shape the profile.
Product role: current continuation of the original Dinafem Moby Dick.
Moby Dick by Barney’s Farm
Moby Dick by Barney’s Farm uses G13 Haze × White Widow. Barneys Farm classifies this version as 75 percent Sativa and 25 percent Indica.
Flowering takes approximately 63 to 70 days. The open framework is listed at around 120 to 140 cm indoors and 250 to 350 cm outdoors. Citrus, Haze, pine, incense, spice and vanilla shape the profile.
Product role: independent Barney’s Farm version using G13 Haze.
Moby Dick by BSB Genetics
Moby Dick by BSB Genetics combines White Widow and a selected Haze line. BSB Genetics classifies it as 60 percent Sativa and 40 percent Indica.
Flowering takes approximately 8.5 to 10 weeks. Plants develop longer internodes, substantial side branching and a profile combining sweet notes, vanilla, earth and citrus.
Product role: independent classic interpretation with its own Haze and White Widow selection.
Moby Dick Auto by FastBuds
Moby Dick Auto by FastBuds transfers the Moby Dick name into an automatic line. FastBuds classifies it as 70 percent Sativa and 30 percent Indica with a complete cycle of approximately 70 days.
The plant reaches around 90 to 150 cm, making it unusually large for an autoflower. Lemon, pine and wood shape the profile direction.
Product role: independent automatic version with a fixed complete cycle.
| Product | Seed type | Documented genetics | Classification | Time reference |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Moby Dick Silent Seeds | Feminized photoperiod | Haze × White Widow, Dinafem origin | 60% Sativa / 40% Indica | 60 to 70 days flowering |
| Moby Dick Barney’s Farm | Feminized photoperiod | G13 Haze × White Widow | 75% Sativa / 25% Indica | 63 to 70 days flowering |
| Moby Dick BSB Genetics | Feminized photoperiod | White Widow × Haze | 60% Sativa / 40% Indica | 8.5 to 10 weeks flowering |
| Moby Dick Auto FastBuds | Feminized autoflower | Automatic Moby Dick interpretation | 70% Sativa / 30% Indica | 70 day complete cycle |
Photoperiod flowering time and an automatic complete cycle describe different periods and should not be treated as equivalent.
Moby Dick Auto: Why automatic versions must be separated
A Moby Dick Auto is not an unchanged Dinafem Moby Dick with automatic flowering. The photoperiod direction must be combined with an autoflower line and selected further.
This changes several points:
- Flowering begins according to age.
- The vegetative period cannot be extended indefinitely.
- The time reference often describes the complete cycle.
- Height generally remains below photoperiod outdoor plants.
- The specific cross receives its own genetic framework.
Moby Dick Auto by FastBuds requires approximately 70 days from germination to harvest. At 90 to 150 cm, it remains substantially smaller than a photoperiod Moby Dick outdoors but still produces a large and open framework for an automatic line.
Barney’s Farm also offers its own Moby Dick Auto using White Widow, G13 Haze and Super BF Auto #1. The automatic category therefore contains several independent versions.
Fast Flowering vs Autoflower explains the time distinction. Autoflower vs Feminized Cannabis Seeds compares the seed formats.
Why Moby Dick is considered a production focused line
Moby Dick became recognised through more than its name or parent lines. The large plant framework has a clear production function.
Several traits work together:
- strong main stem
- long supportive side branches
- large usable flower area
- White Widow density inside a more open Haze framework
- high relationship between plant area and flower mass
Actual performance remains dependent on version, phenotype, light, root space, location and climate. High manufacturer figures are therefore not a universal guarantee.
Moby Dick still belongs to the classic genetics where production can be understood through the plant architecture rather than through a number alone.

Moby Dick strain or Moby Dick strains?
The singular Moby Dick strain is appropriate when explaining the historical Dinafem reference and the shared genetic origin.
The plural Moby Dick strains is appropriate when comparing current versions:
- the Dinafem continuation from Silent Seeds
- G13 Haze × White Widow from Barney’s Farm
- White Widow × Haze from BSB Genetics
- automatic versions from FastBuds or Barney’s Farm
- further reproductions and independent seed bank selections
The singular asks about origin and reference. The plural asks about the present strain space.
Context: Moby Dick strain, genetics or seeds?
The main questions around Moby Dick concern its origin, Haze and White Widow genetics, the Dinafem line and modern seed bank versions.
This guide therefore focuses on:
- Dinafem Seeds as the original seed bank
- Haze and White Widow as the genetic framework
- Jack Herer as the specific Haze side of the historical line
- Silent Seeds as the current continuation
- G13 Haze at Barney’s Farm
- the BSB Genetics interpretation
- different Sativa proportions
- photoperiod and automatic seed formats
- plant architecture and production direction
- currently available Cannoptikum products

Moby Dick strain FAQ
Moby Dick is a sativa dominant line originally developed by Dinafem Seeds from Haze and White Widow. Silent Seeds now continues the classic Dinafem genetic.
The historical Dinafem and Silent Seeds version is listed as Haze × White Widow. Silent Seeds describes the Haze side more precisely as a Haze dominant Jack Herer selection.
The original Moby Dick was developed by Dinafem Seeds in Spain. Silent Seeds now continues this classic line as part of the Dinafem heritage.
Moby Dick is generally sativa dominant. Silent Seeds and BSB Genetics list 60 percent Sativa. Barney’s Farm lists 75 percent. FastBuds lists its automatic version with 70 percent Sativa.
No. Barney’s Farm offers its own G13 Haze × White Widow version. The historical reference came from Dinafem and is now continued by Silent Seeds.
The Silent Seeds version takes approximately 60 to 70 days. Barney’s Farm lists 63 to 70 days. BSB Genetics lists approximately 8.5 to 10 weeks.
Height depends on the version and conditions. Silent Seeds lists up to 3.5 metres outdoors. Barney’s Farm lists 120 to 140 cm indoors and 250 to 350 cm outdoors.
Moby Dick Auto is an independent automatic adaptation of the recognised strain space. It contains additional autoflower genetics and begins flowering according to age.
No. Seed banks use different Haze parents, separate White Widow selections and different seed formats. The shared name does not prove genetic identity.
Silent Seeds provides the clearest connection to the original Dinafem genetic. Barney’s Farm, BSB Genetics and FastBuds offer independent alternatives with different priorities.
Conclusion
Moby Dick began as a Dinafem line from Haze and White Widow. Silent Seeds now continues this historical genetic and describes the Haze side more precisely as a Haze dominant Jack Herer selection.
Barney’s Farm, BSB Genetics and FastBuds show how broad the current strain space has become. G13 Haze, other Haze selections and automatic genetics change the Sativa proportion, flowering time, plant height and profile.
A meaningful comparison therefore begins with four questions: Which seed bank offers the version, which Haze parent is documented, is the line photoperiod or automatic, and which time reference actually belongs to the product?
