White Widow Automatic
Also known as: White Widow Auto, White Widow Autoflower, Auto White Widow
What is the White Widow Automatic strain?
White Widow Automatic is a hybrid cannabis strain with up to 25.0% THC, known for its euphoric effects and citrus and earthy flavor profile.
White Widow Automatic is the autoflowering version of the legendary White Widow strain, first developed in the Netherlands during the 1990s. This strain maintains the genetic heritage of its photoperiod parent, created from crossing a Brazilian sativa landrace with a South Indian indica. The original White Widow was developed by renowned breeder Shantibaba (Scott Blakey) at Green House Seeds and won the 1995 High Times Cannabis Cup, establishing it as one of the most influential cannabis strains in history. The autoflowering variant was created by crossing the original White Widow with Cannabis ruderalis genetics, allowing it to flower automatically based on age rather than light cycles.
White Widow Automatic retains the signature characteristics that made the original famous: dense, resin-coated buds covered in a thick layer of white trichomes that give the strain its distinctive frosty appearance. The strain typically grows to modest heights of 60-110cm (2-3.5 feet), making it suitable for discrete cultivation both indoors and outdoors. Plants complete their entire lifecycle in just 8-10 weeks from seed to harvest, with flowering beginning automatically after 3-4 weeks of vegetative growth. This rapid turnaround and forgiving nature make it particularly appealing to novice growers and those seeking quick harvests.
