Also known as: White Widow Auto, Auto White Widow, White Widow Autoflower
Overview
Automatic White Widow is an autoflowering version of the legendary White Widow strain, created by crossing the classic photoperiod White Widow with ruderalis genetics. This hybrid maintains the genetic balance of approximately 45-55% indica and 35-55% sativa, depending on the specific breeder's interpretation. The strain was developed to preserve the renowned characteristics of the original White Widow while introducing the convenience of autoflowering capabilities, allowing cultivation without light cycle manipulation. The strain typically completes its entire lifecycle from seed to harvest in 75-85 days, making it ideal for novice growers and those seeking quick turnarounds. Plants are compact and hardy, usually reaching heights of 40-110cm depending on growing conditions. The buds are dense and heavily coated with white crystalline trichomes, a hallmark trait inherited from its White Widow lineage. Automatic White Widow produces thick, resinous flowers with minimal leafage, making trimming easier. The strain is particularly valued for its resilience to environmental stresses and its ability to thrive in various climates, from Mediterranean to temperate zones.

Growing Information
Automatic White Widow is considered beginner-friendly due to its autoflowering genetics and resilience. The strain has a short lifecycle of 75-85 days from germination to harvest, with flowering beginning automatically after 3-4 weeks of vegetative growth. Plants remain compact, reaching 40-80cm indoors and 50-110cm outdoors. Indoor yields range from 190-240g per plant or up to 450g/m², while outdoor plants can produce 60-250g each. The strain thrives in various conditions but prefers temperatures between 68-80°F during the day with nighttime temperatures 7-9°F cooler. Humidity should be kept low to prevent mold issues. The strain is forgiving of growing mistakes and environmental fluctuations, making it suitable for novice cultivators. Training techniques like Sea of Green (SOG) can maximize yields despite the compact plant size.
