Auto Gorilla Glue #4
Auto Gorilla Glue #4
Also known as: GG4 Autoflower, Gorilla Glue Auto, Original Glue Auto
Overview
Auto Gorilla Glue #4 is an autoflowering version of the legendary Gorilla Glue #4 strain, created by crossing the original GG4 with ruderalis genetics to enable automatic flowering independent of light cycles. This strain maintains all the potent characteristics of its photoperiod parent while offering the convenience and speed of autoflowering cultivation. The strain was originally developed from an accidental pollination in 2009 by breeder Joesy Whales, who crossed Chem's Sister, Sour Dubb, and Chocolate Diesel genetics to create what would become one of the most celebrated cannabis strains.
Auto Gorilla Glue #4 exhibits the signature characteristics that made the original famous: exceptionally sticky, resin-covered buds that literally glue trimming scissors together during harvest. The strain produces dense, chunky buds with a frosty appearance due to abundant trichome production, featuring vibrant green coloration with orange pistils throughout. This indica-dominant hybrid typically shows a 60% indica to 40% sativa genetic split, delivering balanced effects that combine cerebral stimulation with deep physical relaxation. The autoflowering version completes its lifecycle in just 8-10 weeks from seed to harvest, making it an attractive option for both novice and experienced cultivators seeking quick turnarounds and consistent results.

Growing Information
Auto Gorilla Glue #4 is considered beginner-friendly with moderate growing difficulty. The autoflowering genetics eliminate the need for light cycle management, flowering automatically in 8-10 weeks from germination. Indoor yields range from 350-600 grams per square meter, while outdoor plants can produce 70-750 grams per plant depending on conditions. Plants typically reach 80-100 cm indoors and can grow larger outdoors. The strain thrives in warm environments with daytime temperatures of 21-26°C and moderate humidity levels of 45-55% during flowering. It responds well to LST (Low Stress Training) and SCROG methods. The massive resin production requires support for branches during late flowering, and odor control is essential due to the strain's pungent aroma. The strain is suitable for both indoor and outdoor cultivation, though indoor growing allows for better environmental control.
