Auto Star Widow
Also known as: Auto Star Widow, Autoflowering Star Widow
Auto Star Widow Strain Overview
Auto Star Widow is an autoflowering cannabis strain developed by crossing the classic White Widow with an undisclosed autoflowering ruderalis variety. This strain maintains the desirable characteristics of its photoperiod parent while incorporating the automatic flowering trait, making it suitable for growers seeking a simplified cultivation process. The strain emerged in the early 2010s as part of the growing trend toward autoflowering varieties that could complete their life cycle regardless of light cycles.
Visually, Auto Star Widow plants typically display a compact, bushy structure with dense, resin-coated buds that exhibit the characteristic white trichome coverage inherited from its White Widow lineage. The flowers often feature vibrant orange pistils contrasting against pale green to lime-colored calyxes. The strain's autoflowering nature results in plants that generally remain relatively short, usually between 60-100 cm in height, making them suitable for discreet cultivation or limited spaces.
Notable features include its relatively short life cycle of approximately 10-12 weeks from seed to harvest and its resilience to environmental fluctuations. The strain has gained popularity among both novice and experienced growers due to its forgiving nature and consistent performance across various growing conditions. While not as potent as some photoperiod White Widow phenotypes, Auto Star Widow maintains a respectable cannabinoid profile that appeals to recreational users seeking balanced effects.

Auto Star Widow Strain Growing Information
Auto Star Widow is considered a beginner-friendly strain with moderate difficulty. The complete life cycle from seed to harvest typically takes 10-12 weeks. Indoor growers can expect yields of approximately 350-450 grams per square meter, while outdoor plants may produce 40-80 grams per plant depending on conditions. The strain performs well both indoors and outdoors in temperate climates, with optimal temperatures between 20-28°C (68-82°F). Plants generally remain compact, reaching 60-100 cm in height. Special considerations include avoiding transplantation stress (direct sowing recommended), providing consistent light during vegetative growth, and maintaining moderate humidity levels (40-50% during flowering) to prevent mold. Nutrient requirements are moderate, with sensitivity to overfeeding being the most common cultivation issue.
