Auto Gorilla #5
Also known as: Auto Gorilla Glue #5, Auto GG #5
What is the Auto Gorilla #5 strain?
Auto Gorilla #5 is a hybrid cannabis strain with up to 24.0% THC, known for its relaxed effects and citrus and diesel flavor profile.
Auto Gorilla #5 is an autoflowering cannabis strain developed by crossing the renowned Gorilla Glue #4 (GG4) with a robust autoflowering genetic line. This strain inherits the potent effects and distinctive resin production of its photoperiod parent while incorporating the convenience and rapid growth cycle of autoflowering genetics. The development aimed to create a version of the popular GG4 that could be cultivated more easily by growers of various skill levels, with reduced dependence on light cycles for flowering initiation.
The plant typically displays characteristics common to both its parent lines, featuring dense, resinous buds with a complex aroma profile. The flowers often exhibit a forest green coloration with occasional purple hues under certain temperature conditions, complemented by vibrant orange pistils and a thick coating of trichomes. Auto Gorilla #5 maintains the signature sticky texture that made Gorilla Glue strains famous among cannabis enthusiasts, though the autoflowering version generally reaches a more compact stature suitable for discreet cultivation.
As an autoflowering variety, this strain completes its entire life cycle automatically based on age rather than light schedule, making it particularly suitable for novice growers or those with space limitations. While it shares many sensory qualities with traditional Gorilla Glue #4, some connoisseurs note subtle differences in terpene expression and effect duration due to the autoflowering genetics. The strain has gained popularity in both home cultivation and commercial markets for its combination of reliable performance and potent effects.

How do you grow Auto Gorilla #5?
Auto Gorilla #5 is considered a moderately easy strain to cultivate, making it suitable for growers with some experience. The autoflowering nature means it will begin flowering automatically 3-4 weeks after germination, with a total life cycle of approximately 8-10 weeks from seed to harvest. Indoor growers can expect yields of 350-450 grams per square meter, while outdoor plants typically produce 40-80 grams per plant depending on conditions.
The plant remains relatively compact, usually reaching 80-120 cm in height, making it suitable for both indoor and outdoor cultivation with proper space management. It thrives in a Mediterranean-like climate with consistent temperatures between 20-28°C (68-82°F). Indoor cultivation is recommended for optimal environmental control, though outdoor growing is possible in suitable climates. The strain responds well to low-stress training (LST) techniques but is sensitive to overfeeding, particularly nitrogen. Adequate ventilation is important during flowering to prevent mold in the dense buds. Unlike photoperiod strains, it does not require light cycle changes to initiate flowering.
