Auto White Russian

Named after a classic cocktail, this indica-dominant autoflowering hybrid will not give you any headaches during cultivation or the morning after. Just give your seedlings a good start, and we are sure you will succeed, while the strain's immunity and low-maintenance properties will take care of the rest.

Genetics and Characteristics

There is no doubt about Auto White Russian's potential, as it is the descendant of legendary White Widow and AK-47 strains that need no introduction. To give it autoflowering properties, KADAMA breeders used the famous Lowryder #2. This add-on allows the entire life cycle of the plant to fit within 8-10 weeks from seed germination. Auto White Russian's incredible genetic stability and adaptability to almost any growing environment will appeal to novice growers and allow for successful cultivation in regions with short summers and cool, humid climates. The plant's sturdy structure and compact size maintain branch integrity even in the final weeks of flowering, when massive clusters of dense buds bend downward, signaling the long-awaited harvest. Don't rush to pull out the scissors at the first sign of ripeness. Your sign of harvest will be the color of the trichomes, which will turn milky with occasional amber spots.

Flavor and Aroma

Auto White Russian offers the traditional sweet and spicy palette typical of White family genetics, revealing all its nuances after proper curing. Even in the flowering stage, this hybrid unleashes a pungent skunk aroma and a mildly intoxicating scent of fine woods. When you grind the dry buds, this flavor profile is complemented by pronounced notes of citrus, candies, cream, fruits, spices and earthiness, all of which maintain their intensity on exhalation.

Recreational and Medicinal Use

The dominance of indica is not immediately apparent, initially allowing the sativa component to lift your mood, imbuing you with a feeling of lightness and bliss. As the experience evolves, the high gently subsides, softly guiding you into a state of mental tranquility and clarity. At this juncture, the body, freed from tension and discomfort, attains a state of complete relaxation. With a commendable THC content of up to 20%, the strain's therapeutic benefits become evident with moderate use, effectively mitigating symptoms of anxiety, depression, fatigue, and chronic stress.

Cultivation

Auto White Russian exhibits a remarkable resilience to the common mistakes made by beginners and to fluctuations in weather. It's crucial to minimize stress on your plants, as autoflowers possess a brief vegetative phase and limited time for recovery. Ensure your plants receive sufficient lighting and a steady flow of fresh air within the grow tent. Adhere to a regular watering regimen, hydrating the substrate only once the top layer has thoroughly dried. If cultivating this strain in nutrient-dense soil, enriched with organics and mycorrhiza, commence fertilization at the pre-flowering stage. For advanced cultivators, employing hydroponics and utilizing SoG or ScrOG with Auto White Russian can significantly enhance indoor yields, potentially reaching up to 450 g/m² (16 oz).

When grown outdoors, this strain prefers a warm, temperate climate with at least 8-10 hours of daylight. Inspect your plants regularly to prevent the development of pathogenic bacteria or insect infestations. In the event of a problem, use natural means of control and avoid exposing buds to potentially toxic substances.

FAQ

What is the height of the plants?

Indoors, the plants barely reach 1 m (3 ft) in height. Outdoors, they can stretch to 1.5 m (5 ft) and respond favorably to training techniques that limit vertical growth, such as LST and tying.

What is the required capacity of the pot?

To ensure the proper development of Auto White Russian's root system, you will need a grow bag or airpot with a capacity of 12-15 liters (3-4 gallons).

What additional measures need to be taken to control odor?

Flowering is accompanied by a fairly strong odor, so for discretion indoors, we recommend installing a carbon filter and a reliable ventilation system.
