First week of CropKing White Widow Auto.
I am growing 3 White Widow Autos in a StealthBox made by stealthboxusa.com
The medium I am using for this grow is Miller Soils Red’s Premium BioChar Blend from Colorado.
I have been lightly misting the seedlings with ph balanced water with Fish Sh!t & Myco added to the solution. have also been lightly misting the foliage with ph balanced Agsil16h foliar spray.

I am growing 3 White Widow Autos in a StealthBox made by stealthboxusa.com
The medium I am using for this grow is Miller Soils Red’s Premium BioChar Blend from Louis Miller in Colorado.
I have been lightly misting the seedlings with ph balanced water with Fish Sh!t & Myco added to the solution. I have also been lightly misting the foliage with ph balanced Agsil16h foliar spray. I use TnB Naturals for my ph +/-.
Started the first round of nutes, went 1/8-1/2 strength on everything due to using amended “hot” soil and autoflowers don’t typically use as much nutrients as their photo cousins.
Big growth on two of the three Crop King white widow autos! I am lightly misting the foliage and stems throughout the week with ph balanced Agsil16h foliar spray. I feed them once a week with nutrients and the rest of the week is with ph balanced RO water with a little bit of calmag. The girls are already starting to develop their signature stench. I’m just shocked that they are already fragrant this early! The third seedling is still taking a while to progress. I’m starting to believe that this one either got stunted some how or has more “photoperiod dominant” genes that are preventing it from flourishing under a 19/5 light schedule.
The advanced nutrient organic line makes the solution pretty acidic so I add TnB naturals ph up to balance it out. I also used the TnB naturals ph down for my Agsil16h solution since potassium silicate naturally raises The ph of water. I love the TnB naturals ph adjusters because they are guaranteed 0-0-0 NPK. One even smells like it was derived from maple syrup which I find classic coming from a Canadian company 😂.
The three white widows are responding nicely to lst. I started early since I am growing in a “micro” environment and need to manage the height of these girls.
Since they are all starting to develop some pistils I am just feeding them RO water until they start to flower. Once they eat up as much as they can out of the soil I will add a light amount of Advanced Nutrients organic line for Bloom.
Added more photos from this week. These were taken only four days After the other photos!
These girls are getting bigger and bigger every day. I’d say week five is the beginning of pre-flower. I started with a very low dosage of nutrients to see how they will respond.
I’ve had to tie them down quite a bit but it has helped branch out new nodes and Bud sites that are comparable in size to the main cola. With the small environment I’m growing in I’ve also had to do a large amount of leaf tucking.
The EC and PH of the runoff was pretty spot on, I was around 800ppm, 1.6ec, and the ph was around 6.0. Overall I’d say that these plants are a hell of a lot happier than my other plants in the different medium. This is the Miller soils organic ammended soil, which is pretty decent but I prefer to control most of my grows so next time around I will be using either bio bizz light mix or light mix with 40%-50% coco and added perlite or pumice. I want to really see the full potential of these advanced nutrients products and see how they compare to other brands/amending with basic dry organics. I have so many seeds to play with so I will have a lot of diaries coming soon after these are harvested 😉
These girls are starting to get really big and bushy! This has started to become quite the sea of green setup but they seem to be happy and healthy still! These are definitely slower to flower than my other strains going in the other box but with the long veg/flower time with this strain I know I’m going to get a decent yield compared to the LSD25 and BlueBerry!
Continued with a light feeding with Advanced Nutrients, I’m starting to see slight bits of burn on the edges so I will have to keep an eye on them throughout the week. Hopefully she starts to develop some big colas soon!!
The girls are doing great! They are getting bushier by the day, I don’t want to stress her much by defoliation so I’m doing a good amount of leaf tucking and only removing lower yellowing leaves that were ready to fall off on their own.
The medium from Miller’s Soils has been extremely well balanced throughout the grow. I only dealt with a small amount of nute burn in the beginning but they quickly used those preloaded nutrients to their advantage.
They responded well to their Bloom feeding so I will continue to up the dosage as time goes on. So far she isn’t showing any signs of deficiencies or excesses in nutes so I’m treading lightly with the feed schedule.
So... two of these girls are becoming monsters! It’s becoming quite the task to manage their height, the largest of the three was only 1 inch from the light so I had to chain her down.
I’m hoping that she doesn’t stretch any more and that she is finished for now. I have continued to defoliate the leaves that were ready to go on their own. I feel like it doesn’t make a difference because I swear this behemoth generates new leaves on the hour. This strain is definitely a bushy one with lots of little pop corn branches but strong main stems! I’m anxious to see how these girls progress with their monster height and minimal grow space. I’m doing my best to keep her container without ruining her look aesthetically.
I will update more as the week goes on!
So the tallest girl has officially outgrown her environment. She is over 30in tall at the moment. I had to gradually pull her two main colas down at least 4-5in to prevent any further damage. If I was able to transfer this girl outside I would but my neighbors are nosey as hell so that is not an option. I’m not sure if the sativa gènes came through on this one but it’s insane how large they have become! They all have tons of branches and each has 3-5 shoots with even more bud sites. If I had the proper space I’m sure I could easily yield 5oz from a single plant. It is very apparent that this is a hearty strain that has tons of branches and bountiful Bud sites. I’m thinking I may have to Guérilla Grow this strain next spring/summer and possibly even cross breed it with a wild landrace strain. We will see!
Update: Unfortunately with the light burn I don’t think that my two largest girls will have the greatest “look” once harvested and trimmed. I have a third girl who is the perfect size and I already know that her buds will be beautiful and without any type of blemish from heat and light burn!
The three white widows are getting closer to harvest! The largest of the three is definitely displaying signs of light/heat stress. This can be told by new pistil growth on top of colas with older amber pistils. Since the largest of the three is so close to the light she is demanding more nutrients than the other two phenos, hence the purple leaves displaying potassium and phosphorus deficiencies. They are already so close to harvest so I’m not going to do much to correct it because it’s a little late at this point and she is still healthy/buds are looking great so I will keep her on a similar feed to the other two girls.
Beside all of that stuff, the girls smell amazing. They smell a lot like a few zkittlez strains I’ve grown in the past with a touch of pine as well. It’s quite pleasant and I can’t wait to smell these girls after chop!
So the smallest/healthiest pheno is really starting to fade out nicely, some of her trichomes are starting to turn amber so I know she’s closer to harvest than the other two.
The largest pheno is still heat stressed but she’s resilient so she continues to pack on weight.
The third pheno was my slowest growing, she’s the most green out of the three and also has the most genetic mutations occurring on the main cola fan leaves. The mutation is almost identical to a friends who also grew this strain. So there are definitely some variations in these WW genetic but overall the buds look great!
The largest pheno is starting to fox tail a bit with the extra light and heat, she’s also developing more white pistils. She may soon start to get that weird deformation where the buds are stacked wider on the top and taper down. I’m hoping her trichomes start to turn soon because I’d like to make space for some new strains!
Even with two of the plants becoming too large and stressed I still believe the plants will yield at least an ounce each. So I guess I will find out within a week or so 😎
The White Widows are growing bigger and fading out more and more every day! I’m getting anxious for chop because they smell so good!
I’m just a bit worried about how faded some leaves are getting, I’m doing my best at removing them because I absolutely do not want to encourage bud rot or WPM!
My cousin and I built the worlds SMALLEST Vortex Air Lift Brewer for my nutrients and compost teas. This unit is only 3.5 gallons which is perfect for my setup, as I never need more than a gallon or two for each grow box containing up to four plants. We designed and built this thing in a single day, the only thing that took time was waiting on all of the parts to finish it. Unfortunately the pump needs to be stronger so she’s only running off of one pipe, but on Wednesday a pump twice the size will be coming in to save the day! Things are about to get real good for these upcoming grows 😎😈
This White Widow Auto from Crop King was a great strain to grow! She was resilient to environmental stress and heat and yielded a huge amount in the minimal amount of space I had! I had originally planted four seeds but unfortunately only 3 made it. I decided not to plant another seed because the others were already a couple weeks ahead. This white widow grew about as long as most photo period plants so that might have helped with the yield.
I grew these three White Widows in a Stealth Box which is only 20inx20in and about 30in tall. It comes equipped with a quantum board full spectrum 100w LED light. I remember posting this grow box on a couple forums and Reddit. Mostly everybody said that this box was too small and I’d be lucky to get 2-3oz even under the best conditions. I’d say that I proved them wrong at 7.57oz 😂 The two smaller plants yielded 55g each and the largest gave 100grams! That puts my avg gram per plant around 70g. If the fourth plant had survived I would have been in the 10oz range which is insane for growing in 3.24 square feet and only having 27in of room between the top of the pot and the light!
The medium I grew these in was from a boutique brand in Colorado called Miller Soils. I went with their Red’s Premium Bio Char Blend which was a great choice. I was very impressed with how well balanced this soil was. I’m a big believer in BioChar and these guys got the ratio dialed in on this one!
I used the Advanced Nutrient organic line which did not disappoint! I have really started to become a big fan of these liquid bottled nutrients. The people over at AN really make a high quality product!
To dry these girls properly I hung them for 3 days and then transferred individual stalks into the WeDryer for 3-4 days.
I used the Diamond Cut Co. “The 6-5” scissors to trim these girls and I was very happy with how well these scissors cut and trimmed buds. There is really no play/space in-between the blades. The scissors have a nice weight to them as well and the spring isn’t too powerful so these trimmers really don’t make my hands fatigued after a couple hours of trimming like some of the $5 trimmers can. The 6-5 has a fine needle point tip which was great for getting into all of those tight nooks and crannies. What was great is that the blades also seemed to stay sharper and less gunked up than my other scissors.
Overall I’m happy with how everything turned out!
Hello thanks for responding i have 2 cubic ft of peat moss i have also have these...30 lbs of worm castings, 20 lbs of azomite, 5lbs granular humic acid, 10 lbs urea nitrogen 46. 0. 0, 5lbs kelp meal, vermiculite, perlite & trifecta plus fertilizer(nutrients immediately available granulated)5.10.4, ....8 cubic ft of Miracle-Gro garden soil ( feeds for 3 months) and I also make my own compost with European red wigglers...
Its cold and ready for sifting and store for spring...this pass summer was my first year gardening so I have lots of supplies left
I will be planting 1 seed of each strain in gallon grow bags
I think I will do 3 or 5 gallon grow bags
3 gallon for the autos and 5 gallon for a few Photoperiod I may start
I can buy some mycorrhiza but do you recommend powder or liquid or can I use something that I mentioned above that I have on hand
I found this complete kit what do you think

Thanks in advance
@Crinkle_mouse, Just got finished trimming up everything. 212.04grams, that’s 7.57oz!! I also got around 1.5oz of straight sugar leaf and pop corn buds that are not included in that 212g total. Keep in mind this is also dry weight, which was weighed on a calibrated scale with reference weights for accuracy!
I remember posting this box on reddit when I first got it and everybody was saying I’d be lucky to harvest 2oz from something this short and 3.24sq/FT. Guess I proved them wrong lol 😂
@Crinkle_mouse, Thank you! Yours look like they will be pretty similar to mine. I had 4 going but one died within the first week. So you should definitely yield more than I did no matter what!
I just finished drying and trimming up only two of the plants so far and I’m already at 155grams! Based on these two plants being around 77.5g avg, if I had four plants technically I could have had around 10-11oz!
Thanks, Canna Coco bricks on the way. I will be microwaving my peat moss, coco & perlite before planting to kill any gnat eggs etc..you've been a great help🙂
@BloSheGrowz, Awesome!! You won’t regret buying the coco, since I’ve been using it I’ll never go back to just straight peat moss! If you ever want to do some more research on the soil recipe I provided then check out “clackamascoots.com” it’s basically his recipe but I tweaked it for autoflowers!
