Cachalote
Cachalote
Also known as: Moby Dick
Overview
Cachalote is a hybrid cannabis strain created by Spanish breeder Gea Seeds through crossing White Widow with an original Haze strain. This sativa-dominant hybrid (70% sativa, 30% indica) represents a powerful combination of two legendary genetic lineages, resulting in what the breeder describes as a 'monstrous hybrid with stable genetics.' The strain is known for its vigorous growth rate and exceptional productivity, making it one of the most productive strains in Gea Seeds' catalog. Cachalote plants develop a strong main stem loaded with woody lateral branches that become covered with buds and leaves reaching almost to the main tip.
The strain produces dense, resin-rich flowers that emit a thick, incense-like aroma with fresh White Widow undertones that are spicy and perfumed. Notable citrus notes, particularly lemon, complement the complex aromatic profile. When properly cured, Cachalote flowers give off white, dense, and fragrant smoke that reflects its White Widow heritage. The strain requires 65-70 days to complete its flowering cycle and thrives in sunny, well-fertilized outdoor locations, though it can also perform well indoors with proper space management due to its tendency to double or triple in size during flowering.

Growing Information
Cachalote is considered a moderately difficult strain to cultivate due to its vigorous growth and space requirements. The strain exhibits a colossal growth rate and can double or triple in size during flowering, requiring careful planning for indoor grows. Flowering time is 65-70 days, which is slightly longer than average but compensated by exceptional yields. Indoor production can reach 550-600 grams per square meter, while outdoor cultivation in sunny, well-fertilized locations can yield over 1 kilogram per plant. The strain prefers warm, sunny climates and requires adequate space due to its tendency to grow tall with substantial lateral branching. Growers should monitor space constraints carefully when transitioning to flowering periods indoors.
