Auto Widow
Also known as: White Widow Auto, White Widow Autoflower, Auto White Widow
Auto Widow Strain Overview
Auto Widow is an autoflowering version of the legendary White Widow strain, created by crossing the original White Widow with Ruderalis genetics to enable automatic flowering capabilities. Auto Widow is the result of crossing the original White Widow with a Ruderalis cannabis variety, which gives it the autoflowering ability. The original White Widow gained international fame in the 1990s as a cross between a Brazilian sativa male and an Indian mother, and this autoflowering variant maintains those genetic characteristics while offering faster growth cycles and increased cultivation convenience.
Auto Widow presents as a balanced blend of Indica and Sativa genetics, typically expressing a 45-55% Indica to Sativa ratio depending on the specific breeder's phenotype. It typically produces compact plants with dense buds covered in trichomes, making it an ideal choice for both indoor and outdoor cultivation. The strain is renowned for its distinctive white, crystal-covered appearance that gives it the "Widow" name, with a thick layer of white trichomes that coat the buds during peak flowering. Auto Widow has become one of the most commercially successful autoflowering strains due to its genetic stability, reliable performance, and ability to complete its entire lifecycle in 8-10 weeks from seed to harvest.

Auto Widow Strain Growing Information
Auto Widow is considered an easy-to-grow strain suitable for beginners and experienced cultivators alike. It completes its full lifecycle in 8-10 weeks from seed to harvest, with no need for light cycle changes due to its autoflowering genetics. Plants typically reach heights of 50-110cm (20-43 inches) and perform well in both indoor and outdoor environments. Indoor yields can reach 400-500g/m² while outdoor plants may produce 50-200g per plant. The strain is notably resilient, withstanding various growing conditions including cooler climates, though warmer temperatures optimize yields. It thrives in temperatures between 64-79°F (18-26°C) with moderate humidity that should be reduced in later flowering stages to prevent mold. The strain is well-suited for SOG (Sea of Green) and SCROG (Screen of Green) techniques and responds well to low-stress training methods.
