Strain help

Hello everyone, I need a strain that stays bellow 8 weeks flowering also has TO BE A AUTO. This is also my first grow and i will be growing in a wardrobe and in coco, seems the easiest to maintain ;/ I have been looking at northern lights as they flower between 7-9 weeks. I also have been looking at white widow as they flower between 8-10 weeks (Could pull at 8-9).If someone could recommended and point me in the right direction that would be helpful thanks.

my suggestions:

don't start with coco
don't start with autos
don't go by the time posted for strains
depending on light, food, air, medium, they will usually take longer than whats posted, most I've had take a good ten weeks to fully flower and swell, even autos usually take longer than stated IME
get photo plants and use a shorter veg period, you'll save on power cost versus autos that need 18-24 hours light

you really dont need to give an auto 18 hours of light 16 is fine

I've ran hundreds of strains over my lifetime of growing but if I have to run 1 strain again that needs to stay below 8 weeks, it would definitely have to be the original Barrywhite (not to be confused with Berrywhite, White Berry, Blueberry x White Widow, etc.) - photoperiod, indica dominant, easy to maintain, high pest resistance, very vigorous, fast grower, fast maturer, fast finisher - 6 weeks, massive thick sticky dense 1 ft+ colas, great water resistance - has low chances of bud rot thanks to excessive oils production, extra frosty, outdoor buds passes for indoor. Picture of my 2016 harvest OG Barrywhite.
