White Widow × Ruderalis
White Widow Automatic, developed by Aztech Genetics, is a hybrid strain that combines classic White Widow genetics with auto-flowering traits. It is recognized for its balanced potency and ease of cultivation, making it suitable for both experienced growers and novices.
Appearance
This auto-flowering hybrid produces visually appealing, medium-sized buds that are densely packed and coated in a thick layer of resin. The buds are characterized by a frosty trichome coating, reminiscent of snow. Plant coloration ranges from deep green to lighter lime hues, with occasional purple accents on stems and calyxes. The plant structure is typically compact with short internodal spacing, featuring sturdy, resilient leaves that can support heavy bud development.
Aroma & Flavor
White Widow Automatic presents a complex aroma profile characterized by earthy pine and subtle spicy notes upon initial encounter. Further aromatic layers include hints of citrus and earthy musk. The flavor mirrors this complexity, offering an initial burst of pine and citrus zest on the inhale, followed by deeper, earthier tones. The aroma is noted for its consistency even after drying.
Effects
While specific effects are not detailed in the source notes, strains with White Widow genetics are typically known for balanced effects that can be both uplifting and relaxing. The THC content of 18% suggests a moderate to strong psychoactive experience.
Terpenes & Cannabinoids
This strain contains a stable THC percentage that can range from 18% to 23% under optimal conditions. Key terpenes identified include Myrcene, Limonene, Caryophyllene, and Pinene, which contribute to its distinct aroma and flavor profile, with Pinene concentrations potentially approaching 0.2-0.3%.
Cultivation
White Widow Automatic is bred for cultivation convenience, featuring auto-flowering characteristics derived from ruderalis genetics. It matures in approximately 10-12 weeks from seed, with flowering typically beginning around 3-4 weeks after germination. Its compact structure makes it suitable for indoor growing with limited space, while its hardiness is also beneficial for outdoor cultivation.
Origins & Lineage
Developed by Aztech Genetics, White Widow Automatic is a refinement of classic White Widow genetics. It incorporates auto-flowering traits from ruderalis, balanced with indica and sativa genetics, estimated at approximately 40% indica, 40% sativa, and 20% ruderalis. This breeding aims to retain the potency and resin production of the original while offering a shorter cultivation cycle.
