Wxw by Bean Genie Autos
Ruderalis × Indica × Sativa
WxW is an autoflowering hybrid developed by Bean Genie Autos, recognized for its contributions to day-neutral genetics. This strain offers a balanced genetic profile, combining ruderalis, indica, and sativa traits for a predictable and manageable growth cycle. WxW is noted for its resin production and complex aromatic qualities.
Appearance and Structure
WxW typically grows to a compact or mid-height, reaching between 60 to 100 cm indoors. It develops a stout, multi-branched structure with internodal spacing of 3 to 6 cm. The plant transitions to flowering around 3-4 weeks from sprouting, producing a prominent central cola alongside several productive satellite branches. Buds are characterized by tightly stacked calyxes, often conical or golf-ball shaped, with generous trichome coverage, especially on the sugar leaves.
Leaf width suggests a blend of indica and sativa heritage. Anthocyanin expression may be subtly present in cooler conditions, particularly on upper bracts exposed to light. The overall structure is amenable to low-stress training, contributing to its reputation for dependable form.
Aroma and Bouquet
The aroma of WxW opens with bright, citrus-forward notes, often described as sweet lemon and orange zest mingled with green herbs. Underlying these are mid-notes of pepper-spice and earthy, woodland scents. A faint diesel or solvent edge can be detected on stem rub, which may become more prominent as the buds cure. The overall intensity is moderate to strong, making carbon filtration advisable during late flowering.
During the curing process, citrus elements tend to sweeten, while earthy and peppery undertones deepen. A cool, slow cure is recommended to preserve the monoterpenes responsible for the bright top notes, resulting in a layered bouquet that is noticeable but not overpowering.
Flavor and Mouthfeel
Upon inhalation, WxW typically presents a crisp citrus flavor, reminiscent of lemon candy with a hint of orange oil, followed by pine and a subtle peppery spice. The exhalation reveals mild earthy and cedar notes, with some phenotypes exhibiting a light sweet-cream undertone after a thorough cure. The flavor profile is balanced and clean, making it suitable for regular use.
Vaporizing at lower temperatures highlights the citrus and floral tones, with the peppery spice remaining subtle. Higher temperatures bring out the spicy warmth of caryophyllene and the woody elements of humulene. Properly flushed and cured examples are reported to have a smooth mouthfeel with minimal throat irritation.
Effects and Conditions
WxW is noted for providing a focused experience, balancing effects that are suitable for daytime use. The combination of indica and sativa genetics aims to deliver a well-rounded effect profile.
This strain is reported to help with stress, offering a calming influence without significant sedation. The balanced nature of the effects makes it a versatile option for managing daily pressures.
Terpenes and Cannabinoids
WxW is a THC-dominant strain, with reported THC levels around 18% and CBD levels below 1%. Its terpene profile is complex, featuring a blend that contributes to its distinct aroma and flavor. Key terpenes identified include myrcene, limonene, caryophyllene, and linalool, alongside pinene, humulene, terpinolene, and ocimene.
The terpene composition supports the strain's citrus, candy, and earthy flavor notes, with caryophyllene and humulene contributing spicy and woody undertones. Total terpene content typically ranges from 1.5% to 3.0% by dry weight when cultivated under optimal conditions.
Growing Characteristics
As an autoflower, WxW flowers independently of light cycles, making it suitable for flexible lighting schedules, typically 18/6 to 20/4. It is known for a rapid lifecycle, with seed-to-harvest times generally ranging from 70 to 85 days. The plant exhibits dependable structure and a forgiving nutrient window, making it accessible for novice autoflower growers.
Yields are reported to be consistent with modern autoflowers, typically between 350 to 500 g/m² under optimized conditions. WxW is recognized for its resilience to variable conditions and its focus on resin density and terpene retention, fitting well into home or micro-cultivation setups.
