Gorilla Glue seeds

Gorilla Glue Auto (GG4 Auto) Description

Overview: Gorilla Glue Auto, also known as GG4 Auto, is a fast-flowering, autoflowering hybrid cannabis strain developed by crossing the renowned Gorilla Glue #4 (a hybrid of Sour Dubb, Chem Sister, and Chocolate Diesel) with a Ruderalis or other autoflowering genetics, such as BF Super Auto #1 or Auto #1. This strain is celebrated for its high potency, resinous buds, and ease of cultivation, making it suitable for both novice and experienced growers, though its effects are not recommended for beginner users due to their intensity.

Genetics and Composition:

• Type: Autoflowering, feminized

• Indica/Sativa Ratio: Predominantly Indica (55% Indica, 45% Sativa) or balanced 50/50 hybrid, depending on the breeder.

• THC Content: High, ranging from 18% to 26%, typically around 24-25%.

• CBD Content: Low, often less than 1%.

Growth Characteristics:

• Height: Compact, growing to 60-110 cm indoors and up to 130 cm outdoors.

• Flowering Time: 8-11 weeks from germination to harvest, with flowering typically starting around week 3-5 and lasting 6-9 weeks.

• Yield:

• Indoors: 400-600 g/m², with some reports of up to 800 g/m² under optimal conditions.

• Outdoors: 50-300 g per plant, with potential for 500-750 g per plant in ideal settings.

• Structure: Short, squat, and bushy with dense foliage, resembling an Indica. Features tight nodal spacing and a Christmas tree-like structure with a large central cola. Buds are compact, resinous, and trichome-covered, often sticky enough to "glue" scissors during trimming.

• Resilience: Resistant to colder climates, mold, and powdery mildew, though it thrives in warm, sunny, and temperate conditions (70-80°F or 21-27°C). It can tolerate dry periods and slight wind but requires stable humidity (50-60%) to prevent mold.

Cultivation:

• Ease of Growth: Relatively easy, ideal for beginners due to its low-maintenance nature and autoflowering trait, which eliminates the need for light cycle changes (18/6 or 20/4 light schedule recommended).

• Environment: Thrives indoors with high-quality LED or HPS lighting (300-1000W/m²) and outdoors in sunny locations with well-draining, nutrient-rich soil. Use pots of 10-50 liters for optimal root development.

• Nutrients: Requires a balanced N-P-K ratio in the vegetative stage, with increased phosphorus and potassium during flowering. Start with light feeding (1/8 dosage) around week 3-4 and taper off nutrients 1-2 weeks before harvest for better flavor.

• Training: Responds well to low-stress training (LST) and defoliation to increase flowering sites. Avoid high-stress techniques like topping due to the short vegetative phase.

• Germination: Use the paper towel method at 70-90°F (21-32°C) for 24-120 hours until seeds sprout, then transfer to soil or hydroponic media.

• Harvest Timing: Monitor trichomes around week 6 of flowering; harvest when 70% are milky white with some amber for peak potency.

Aroma and Flavor:

• Aroma: Pungent and complex, with dominant notes of pine, diesel, and citrus, often mixed with earthy, sour lemon, coffee, and creamy undertones. Some phenotypes may exhibit fuel or spice notes.

• Flavor: Smooth on inhale with a mild throat hit. Offers a blend of pine, diesel, citrus (lemon/orange), and earthy flavors, sometimes with herbal, spicy, or creamy notes on exhale.

Effects:

• Recreational: Delivers a potent, long-lasting high that combines uplifting, euphoric Sativa effects with deep, relaxing Indica body stone. Users often feel "couch-locked," happy, and creative, with a psychedelic exuberance at higher doses. Best suited for evening use due to its sedative qualities.

• Medicinal: May help alleviate chronic pain, insomnia, stress, anxiety, depression, nausea, muscle spasms, and cramps.

• Cautions: Not recommended for novice users due to its high THC content, which can cause intense effects, including couch-lock or sedation.

Notable Features:

• Resin Production: Known for its extreme stickiness, earning the "Glue" name due to trichome-covered buds that are ideal for concentrates and extracts.

• Terpene Profile: Rich in terpenes, contributing to its unique pine, diesel, and citrus bouquet.

• Awards: Derived from Gorilla Glue #4, which won Best Hybrid at the 2014 HighTimes Cannabis Cup (SoCal and Michigan) and 2nd place at the 2016 Colorado Cannabis Cup.

Growing Tips:

• Use a carbon filter indoors to manage strong odors.

• Avoid overwatering; ensure proper drainage and check soil moisture.

• Plant directly into final pots to minimize transplant stress.

• For outdoor grows, sow in April for a mid-October harvest in sunny, well-drained locations.

• Regularly inspect for pests, as resinous buds attract aphids and bugs.

Storage: Store seeds in a cool, dark, airtight container in a refrigerator to maintain viability, avoiding freezing.

Gorilla Glue Auto is a standout strain for its potency, ease of growth, and impressive yields, making it a favorite among growers and users seeking a powerful, resin-rich autoflower with a complex flavor profile. Always check local regulations, as cannabis cultivation may be restricted in some regions.
