Gorilla Glue Auto Seeds

Gorilla Glue Auto is a robust autoflower selection presented in the Kiwi Seed Bank catalogue. Its reported lineage combines Gorilla Glue #4 with Critical Diesel Auto, producing a slightly indica-leaning profile of around 55% indica and 45% sativa. Compact growth, a short flowering phase and broad climate suitability make it an approachable option for newer growers seeking a powerful, aromatic cultivar.

Genetics & effects

This cultivar is reported to contain approximately 18–26% THC and 0–1% CBD, although cannabinoid levels can vary with phenotype, environment and cultivation choices. Experiences are subjective, but some users describe an initially euphoric, uplifting or happy feeling followed by calm, relaxation and sleepiness. Others may find it especially powerful or notice an increased appetite.

The aroma and flavour profile can combine sharp citrus and fruit with diesel, pine, earth and dry wood. Caryophyllene, myrcene, limonene and pinene are among the reported terpenes, helping shape its layered character. Explore more compact options in the autoflower seed collection.

Growing in the named country

In New Zealand, outdoor planting is generally best aligned with spring, from September to November. Autoflowering plants begin blooming according to age rather than changing daylight hours, giving growers added flexibility across hot, dry regions, temperate districts and cooler areas with short summers.

Choose a position with strong direct light, airflow and shelter from severe rain or wind. Free-draining soil or another airy growing medium helps manage moisture around the roots. In humid districts, allowing space between plants and keeping dense foliage dry can reduce mould risk. Performance varies with local weather, phenotype, nutrition and grower experience.

Indoor

Indoors, Gorilla Glue Auto may reach up to 100 cm, making it suitable for rooms or tents where vertical space is limited. A consistent light schedule, stable airflow and moderate feeding are usually preferable to frequent major changes. As autoflowers have little recovery time, gentle plant shaping early in vegetative growth is generally a better fit than heavy stress later.

The reported flowering period is approximately eight to nine weeks. Under favourable conditions, indoor output may reach up to 550 g/m², but this figure is an estimate rather than an assured result. Lighting, container size, environment and plant health all influence final production.

Outdoor

Outdoors, plants may grow up to 150 cm and can suit sunny patios, sheltered gardens or discreet containers. A container that drains freely makes it easier to move the plant during poor weather. Avoid prolonged waterlogging, and monitor heavy flower clusters as seasonal humidity rises.

Reported outdoor output is up to 120 g per plant in favourable conditions. Cooler southern sites may benefit from the warmest available position, while hot, dry areas can require closer attention to moisture levels and root-zone temperature.

Harvest

New Zealand’s main outdoor harvest season runs from March to May. Because this is an autoflower, plants started earlier may finish before that window, depending on sowing date and conditions. Mature flowers commonly show swollen calyxes, strong resin coverage and darkened pistils. Check individual plants rather than relying only on a calendar, and handle resinous flowers carefully to preserve their distinctive colour and aroma.
