Auto Gorilla by 00 Seeds Bank
Ruderalis × Indica × Sativa
Auto Gorilla by 00 Seeds Bank is a vigorous, resin-soaked hybrid autoflower. It combines the potency and trichome density of the original Gorilla lineage with a fast, low-maintenance grow cycle, making it an accessible option for various cultivators. This strain offers a high-performance experience in a compact plant that moves from seed to harvest efficiently.
Appearance & Morphology
Auto Gorilla typically grows to a height of 70-120 cm indoors, with outdoor heights potentially reaching 120-140 cm. It develops a compact, bushy structure with sturdy stems and short to medium internodes, often resembling a Christmas tree. The buds are dense and resinous, appearing sugar-frosted as they mature, with pistils that transition from cream to deep amber and bracts that are typically olive to lime green, sometimes showing purple streaks.
A standout feature is its exceptional trichome coverage, making harvesting and trimming sticky. The plant architecture supports good light penetration, even with minimal training, leading to uniform bud development. The bract-to-leaf ratio is favorable for trimming.
Aroma & Flavor Profile
The aroma of Auto Gorilla is characterized by a prominent diesel note, underpinned by earthy, forest-floor undertones. Hints of pine and a subtle bitterness, reminiscent of cocoa or coffee, are also present. As the flowers cure, sweet and sour nuances emerge, creating a complex bouquet.
On the palate, the initial impression is of fuel and soil, followed by a pine-resin quality on the exhale. Lingering notes of chocolate and herbs contribute to its nuanced flavor profile.
Effects
Auto Gorilla delivers a potent experience, often described as providing a couch-lock sensation. It is also noted for promoting focus, offering a balanced effect that combines relaxation with mental clarity. This makes it suitable for users seeking both physical calm and a degree of mental engagement.
Terpenes & Cannabinoids
This hybrid strain typically tests between 18-24% THC, with CBD levels below 1%. The terpene profile is known to include Limonene and Humulene, contributing to its distinct aroma and flavor characteristics. The high resin production is a hallmark of its Gorilla heritage.
Growing Characteristics
As an autoflower, Auto Gorilla flowers automatically, typically initiating bloom between 20-30 days from sprouting under an 18/6 light schedule. The seed-to-harvest cycle is generally between 70-85 days. It is considered a vigorous and relatively low-maintenance strain, suitable for both indoor and outdoor cultivation. Plants tend to be compact and high-output, performing well even in modest spaces.
Optimal yields can be achieved with careful training and appropriate inputs, with plants responding well to low-stress training techniques. The sturdy stems and dense bud structure contribute to its overall quality.
Origins & Lineage
Auto Gorilla by 00 Seeds Bank is an autoflowering version of the revered Gorilla line. It is built on a foundation of ruderalis, indica, and sativa genetics. The breeding process involves crossing a photoperiod Gorilla strain with a ruderalis auto line, followed by selection to maintain potency, aroma, and the autoflowering trait.
Developed by 00 Seeds Bank, a Spanish breeder known for reliable genetics, Auto Gorilla aims to provide the potent experience of the original Gorilla strains in a faster, more accessible format. It draws inspiration from the Gorilla Glue family, particularly phenotypes known for heavy resin production and strong effects.
