Here we are about to kick off Grow # 13, and I can't believe it's been that many already. As many of you've seen in my other grows, I've currently been testing out the "Original line" from FastBuds, so this time I decided to go with the Original Auto White Widow since it was tester #13 and this is the 13th grow it seemed like a perfect pick. I have to give a big THANK YOU to FastBuds for sponsoring this grow. Down below is a description of this strain along with a list of the equipment I'll be using for this grow.
Description
She is an old school legend, multiple world champion with an insane resin profile earning her the name. One of the original strains from the 1980s that still ranks as an excellent choice for beginner growers and those who want the very best old school in auto-flowering form.
A fast-growing strain and superbly reliable, that will be done as quickly as 9 weeks from seed to harvest, making her the perfect candidate for growers who want a quick turnaround time. She will produce incredible results outdoors and can withstand hot and cold weather with ease. Her flavors are a mix of spicy, earthy and floral and her effects are relaxing and great for social scenarios. Hash makers and extractors will go wild for Original Auto White Widow, as she is a trichome machine that will cake buds in resin and cover fan leaves with resin rails.
Bud description
The first thing that stands out from Original Auto White Widows’s buds, is the prolific resin content. Covered in trichomes from top to bottom, with a dark green hue and maroon brown pistils. The buds are light in weight, however, they have a large size meaning the flowers of this strain go a long way.
Smoke report
Thanks to her 20% THC, the effects are uplifting, clear-minded with an exciting buzz. She will fire the mind up and get all systems going, making her perfect for keeping organized and busy, keeping sharp and alert, and working through a to-do list. Her high is not too racy and will transcend into a relaxing state the more you smoke.
Plant Appearance
Original White Widow Auto will grow with even spacing between internodes and will produce one main cola. Her side branches will grow out and tall as she fills with silver coated, large-sized nugs in 9 weeks. where she has the capability to yield 400-500gr/m2. Her leaf structure will be thin and long and she will not stretch too much once flowering begins, where she will mature to a size ranging from 70cm-110cm. She can also take on pink and magenta hues as she gets close to her harvest date, revealing her true beauty even further.
Grow Tips
A really easy to trim strain that is well known for its extreme resin profile. When trimming your plants, we advise collecting all the leaf material to make hash or extracts with.
She also performs incredibly well when grown in a Sea of Green and will not grow too tall.
We recommend planting this hybrid outdoors until late in the year, as she can take colder and wet climates with ease, and during the hot summer months will really showcase her yield capabilities. Highly recommended to beginner growers new to autoflowering genetics that need a sturdy reliable strain that can be left to grow, with very little maintenance.
Flavor
A flavor that can be described as musky, spicy, earthy and sweet. Smoking will reveal a bold taste of savory spices and dried fruits combined with earthy undertones. A particular taste that the old school generation will love.
The equipment that will be used for this grow :
Hydro Planet 2x4x5 Grow Tent
3-Gallon Fabric Pot
Happy Frog Soil and American Seed Starting Potting Mix
Vivosun 300 watt Full Spectrum Grow Light
Vivosun 4" inch Exhaust Fan
Vivosun Carbon Filter
Vicks Cool Mist Humidifier
2 Desk Fans
Acurite Hygrometer
On January 20th, the white widow seed was placed in a glass of water with a ph of 6.2 around 4:00 pm. January 22nd made 48 hours so the seed was then placed in a paper towel where it would sit until it had a tap root that was at least a cm long. Took until the January 24th for the taproot to become a cm long the seed was then planted in a mix of Happy Frog Soil and American Seed Starting Potting Mix, I went with this mixture because I've used the American Seed Starting Potting Mix before and it is some of the lightest and airy potting soil I've seen but it doesn't seem to have enough nutrients in it so I mixed it with the happy frog soil and even went with a fabric pot so that I can't overwater and to get more air to the roots. It took 3 days for her to reach the top of the soil, she started Day 1 on January 28th. I went with my normal regiment for seedlings which is only misting them until Day 4 where she received her first watering which was 250 ml of water with a ph of 6.3. Other than that I've let her be.
Now it's time for my favorite part of my diary... "S/O TIME"!!! That's right it's time to give a BIG thank you to @ClubRiot and @BigShegergan and to all the many others it, means a lot to me for you to take time out of your day to show love, it is much appreciated.
Well, that's going to be all for this week guys, so until next time fellow growers and remember ..."Happy Growing" and "Free your mind one puff at a time".
Hey there,
Thanks so much for running a diary of our genetics 🙌
Let us know if you need any assistance, we’re more than happy to help.
Happy Growing !!! 🌱☘️🌴🍀🌿🌳
I’d like to ask your advice on an upcoming grow of mine. Next up is an indoor Auto Blueberry grow in a 3’x3’ tent with an HLG 550 R-Spec light. How many autos should I grow at once using my setup? I was planning on three plants, will the tent be too crowded with three plants? First time growing autos indoors. I don’t plan to top/train them. Thanks, I thoroughly enjoy your diaries!
@Mr_Weeds_Autos, you’re the man, thank you for the insight and advice! I’m thinking 3 gallon (12 liter) fabrics should be fine. Can’t wait to start that diary, should start that grow in about a month. Keep up the great grows!
@Raptor7, Thanks growmie, and I think 3 should be fine and the plants should be able to get sufficient light since it won't be overcrowded, I did that last grow and had 7 autos in one tent, even though it didn't turn out too bad I wouldn't advise it.
