GG #4 Automatic
Also known as: Gorilla Glue #4 Auto, GG4 Autoflower, Gorilla Glue Auto
What is the GG #4 Automatic strain?
GG #4 Automatic is a hybrid cannabis strain with up to 24.0% THC, known for its relaxed effects and chocolate and citrus flavor profile.
GG #4 Automatic is an autoflowering version of the renowned Gorilla Glue #4 strain, developed to combine the potent effects and distinctive characteristics of the original with the convenience of autoflowering genetics. This strain was created by crossing the original GG #4 with autoflowering genetics, though the exact breeding process varies among different seed banks. The result is a plant that maintains the signature sticky resin production and powerful effects of its photoperiod parent while offering faster growth cycles and simplified cultivation.
The strain inherits the complex genetic background of GG #4, which itself is a hybrid of Chem's Sister, Sour Dubb, and Chocolate Diesel. GG #4 Automatic typically exhibits dense, resin-coated buds with a characteristic dark green coloration accented by orange pistils. The flowers are exceptionally sticky, living up to the 'Gorilla Glue' name, and produce a pungent aroma that combines earthy, diesel, and chocolate notes with subtle citrus undertones. The autoflowering trait means plants will automatically transition from vegetative growth to flowering based on age rather than light cycle changes.
Notably, GG #4 Automatic maintains the high THC content and balanced effects of its parent strain while offering greater cultivation flexibility. The autoflowering version is particularly valued by growers seeking the GG #4 experience with reduced cultivation time and less environmental control requirements. However, as with many autoflowering strains, yields may be somewhat lower than photoperiod versions, and the fixed life cycle limits recovery time from cultivation mistakes.

How do you grow GG #4 Automatic?
GG #4 Automatic is considered a moderate-difficulty strain suitable for intermediate growers. The autoflowering version typically completes its entire life cycle in 8-10 weeks from seed to harvest, with flowering occurring automatically around weeks 3-4. Plants remain relatively compact, usually reaching 60-100 cm indoors and 80-120 cm outdoors, making them suitable for discreet cultivation or limited spaces.
Indoor yields typically range from 350-500 grams per square meter under optimal conditions, while outdoor plants can produce 40-150 grams per plant depending on climate and care. The strain performs well in both indoor and outdoor environments but thrives in temperate climates with consistent temperatures. Indoor cultivation benefits from controlled environments with temperatures between 20-26°C and moderate humidity levels.
Special considerations include the need for careful handling due to the extremely sticky resin production, which can make trimming challenging. The autoflowering nature means plants cannot be cloned, and all cultivation must begin from seed. Growers should avoid transplanting autoflowers as the stress can stunt growth during the limited vegetative period. Nutrient requirements are moderate, but overfeeding should be avoided as autoflowers have less time to recover from nutrient burn. The strain is moderately resistant to pests and mold but benefits from good air circulation.
