White Lightning Auto
Developed in British Columbia in the late 1990s, the White Lightning Auto strain of cannabis came to be when parent strains White Widow, Northern Lights #5, and Ruderalis were crossbred to create a potent Sativa-dominant hybrid. The slightly Sativa-leaning White Lightning offers an initial boost of creativity and energy. You will feel a euphoric body and head buzz that slowly dissipates to a slower, more relaxed high. White Lightning offers the best of both Sativa and Indica effects. If you are more interested in a strain’s flavors and aroma over the effects, then you are in for a treat. White Lightning is wonderfully tasty with sweet berry and floral flavors followed up by a pungent skunky aroma. The flavors feature more of a new-school vibe, while the aroma is definitely old-school. True cannabis fans love this blend of sweet and skunk. The combination of effects makes this strain perfect for daytime or nighttime use. You can give yourself a boost in the morning and calm yourself in the evening. Either way, White Lightning is a solid choice.

White Lightning Auto: Crystal-Coated Buds
White Lightning seeds ultimately grow into short and bushy plants with long leaves and cone-shaped buds. The buds feature green and hints of blue and are covered in resiny goodness. The buds have white pistils poking through them and looking super close you can see orange hairs too. The harvested nuggets are orange and green and leafy rather than dense. These nuggets are easy to break apart with your fingers, and doing so will release that skunky aroma while also leaving our hands sticky. It is hard to believe that in the thirty-plus years on this planet, White Lightning hasn’t won any major cannabis awards. It does have a cult following and tons of solid reviews online. Awards don’t necessarily translate to popularity, but they do help with worldwide recognition of a strain. Luckily for White Lightning, its parent strains are very popular and highly regarded in the marijuana world. That’s why it is only a matter of time before White Lightning Auto cannabis seeds are given the awards recognition they deserve.
Growing Tips for Our Seeds
White Lightning Auto prefers warm, sunny environments with plenty of air to really grow. It does well both indoors and outdoors as long as it is grown by an experienced hand. Virgin-growers may have difficulty bringing this strain to harvest. Hydroponic growing is a good choice for White Lightning auto plants. This technique involves submerging your plants’ roots in nutrient-infused water. This allows your plants to grow more quickly and affords cultivators greater control over variables such as the pH levels and potency of your nutrient solution. You don’t need a ton of room to grow these plants, so you may want to grow more than one to increase your yields.
Dial in Your Growing Conditions
- Indoor or Outdoor: White Lightning Auto cannabis plants can be grown indoors and outdoors by experienced growers. The ideal temperature for these plants is between 68-80 degrees Fahrenheit. Light requirements for this strain is 18-20 hours to ensure vegetative growth. You don’t need to adjust the lighting of this strain because it is autoflowering. It will change into the flowering stage all on its own.
- Moisture control: In terms of humidity levels, you’ll want to set it for 40-50% during the vegetative growth stage. To get the plants through to the flowering stage, you will need to drop the humidity to 35-45% so that you don’t find mold or bud rot on your plants.
- Training Techniques: The Sea of Green (SOG) growing technique is an especially good fit for White Lightning Auto plants. In a nutshell, this method consists of growing a larger number of smaller plants rather than fewer, larger ones. This strain is already on the shorter side, but you can also use strategic pruning or low-stress training to control their height. By placing your plants close together, they’ll develop a “sea-like” appearance and have an enhanced ability to absorb light.
The Germination Game Plan
Before you even plant your White Lightning Auto female cannabis plants, you will first need to germinate these seeds. To do so, refer to our free germination guide, knowing that they are backed by our impressive 90% germination guarantee.
Yields, Flowering Time, and Harvest
- Flowering Time: Growing indoors, you can expect to harvest after a flowering period of 55-65 days. Outdoor cultivators should plan on harvesting their cannabis crop in late September or early October.
- Yields: While Indoor yields are around 450 grams per square meter, outdoor grows typically produce up to 450 grams per plant. Growing more than one plant will double or triple these yields. Even if you only grow one plant, you will be rewarded with a fairly nice yield.
Dominant Terpenes in White Lightning Auto: Potent and Pungent
The White Lightning Auto terpene profile is directly responsible for how the plant smells and tastes and the strong effects it has on its users. The most dominant terpene in this strain is myrcene, while limonene and pinene are secondary terpenes.
- Myrcene: Most Dominant – One of the most predominant terpenes in marijuana. Responsible for its flavor and aroma.
- Limonene: Secondary Terpene – Found in cannabis and citrus fruit rinds
- Pinene: Earthy and Piney – Typically found in conifer trees and cannabis, this terpene adds a pine-like aroma and flavor.
Dominant Cannabinoids in White Lightning Auto:
Cannabinoids play an important role in White Lightning seeds and are generally a huge part of most strains of cannabis. That creative, relaxed, and euphoric feeling you get when enjoying the White Lightning Auto strain is due to its dominant cannabinoids. Each cannabinoid does something different to the user.
- THC: The Main Character – THC is the most dominant cannabinoid on the molecular level of this strain. The crystalline compound tetrahydrocannabinol is the main ingredient of cannabis. Topping out at 23%, the THC in this Sativa-dominant strain is responsible for the euphoric and relaxed feeling you get when enjoying White Lightning cannabis.
- CBD: Very Minimal Amounts – While the CBD levels in White Lightning are less than 1%, the cannabinoid is still present, and the effects are noticeable in this strain. CBD plays a smaller role in what the strain does to the user.

I had heard great things, so I took the plunge and planted a few. The growth process was mesmerizing—each day brought new leaves and promise. I nurtured them carefully, and my patience paid off. When harvest came, I was astounded by the sheer volume of beautiful, sticky buds. The smell was out of this world! Finally, during my first smoke, I felt like I’d been transported to a different realm. It was a euphoric, uplifting high that melted my stress away. This process was a rewarding adventure!
