Original White Widow Auto puts one of the 1980s’ most celebrated strains into a fast, dependable autoflower. As part of Fast Buds’ Originals line, which revives classic strains in autoflowering form, it crosses White Widow with FB Auto #1 and has been stabilized into a consistent F4 feminized line.
The White Widow name has always been about resin, and this version stays true to that. Fast Buds selected the pairing to keep the famous trichome production and balanced character while adding speed, resilience, and autoflower consistency. At 70% Indica / 30% Sativa, she finishes in about 9 weeks from seed, with no light change required: run 18/6 or 20/4 from start to finish.
Plants grow 70-110 cm (28-43 in) with even node spacing, a strong central cola, and upright side branches. Indoor yields reach 400-500 g/m² (1.3-1.6 oz/ft²), and outdoor plants give around 50-170 g (2-6 oz) each. Fast Buds places her in the XL size class.
Toughness is a big part of her appeal. According to the breeder, she copes well with colder, humid climates and really shines in hotter weather, so she suits a wide range of US growing regions.
Frost, Earth, and Old-School Sweetness
The buds finish large and silver-frosted, with trichomes spreading across sugar leaves and even onto fan leaves. The aroma is grounded and classic: earthy spice up front with a musky sweetness that lingers. Fast Buds lists the taste as earthy, musky, spicy, and sweet.
THC reaches up to 20%. The effect leans relaxed and happy, which matches her indica-heavy genes, while some growers also note creative, uplifted, and hungry moments. It is a mellow, sociable profile that veterans of the original will recognize.
Heavy, even resin coverage makes this a practical plant for dry sift, hash, and solvent extraction, and the earthy-sweet aroma holds up well through processing.
Growing Original White Widow Auto
Her structure is naturally tidy, with one dominant cola and supporting branches, so she does well in a sea of green with several plants per tent. Light LST can lift the side branches toward the canopy if you grow fewer, larger plants.
Because the sugar leaves get so frosty, save the trim: it is valuable material for hash. Keep humidity in check in late flower, especially with dense buds, and she will reward a simple routine with consistent results.
