White Widow XL
Also known as: White Widow Auto XL, White Widow XXL
White Widow XL Strain Overview
White Widow XL is an autoflowering variant of the legendary White Widow strain, developed to provide larger yields while maintaining the classic characteristics of the original. This strain was created by crossing the original White Widow with a ruderalis genetics to introduce the autoflowering trait, then selectively bred to enhance plant size and yield potential. The XL designation refers to the increased size and productivity compared to standard White Widow autoflowering versions, making it particularly appealing to growers seeking efficiency and substantial harvests.
Visually, White Widow XL plants exhibit the classic White Widow appearance with some modifications. The plants typically grow to medium height with robust branching structures that support dense, resin-coated buds. The flowers are characterized by their frosty white trichome coverage that gives the strain its name, with orange pistils contrasting against pale green calyxes. The autoflowering nature means plants transition from vegetative growth to flowering based on age rather than light cycle, allowing for faster harvest times and greater flexibility in cultivation.
Notable features include its relatively short life cycle of approximately 10-12 weeks from seed to harvest and its resilience to common growing challenges. The strain maintains the balanced hybrid effects of the original White Widow while offering improved yield potential through genetic optimization. Breeders have focused on preserving the distinctive terpene profile and effect characteristics while enhancing cultivation traits, resulting in a strain that appeals to both commercial growers and home cultivators seeking reliable results with minimal intervention.

White Widow XL Strain Growing Information
White Widow XL is considered a beginner-friendly autoflowering strain with moderate difficulty. The flowering time is approximately 8-9 weeks from seed, with total life cycle of 10-12 weeks. Expected yields range from 400-550 grams per square meter indoors or 50-150 grams per plant outdoors. This strain performs well in both indoor and outdoor environments, with indoor cultivation allowing better environmental control. Plants typically reach 80-120cm indoors and 100-150cm outdoors. Special considerations include providing adequate nutrients during the rapid growth phase, maintaining proper pH levels (6.0-6.5 for soil, 5.5-6.0 for hydroponics), and ensuring good air circulation to prevent mold in dense buds. The autoflowering nature means plants don't require light cycle changes, making them suitable for continuous harvest setups.
