Auto Gorilla Glue 4 by Bsb Genetics
Chem's Sister × Sour Dubb × Chocolate Diesel × Cannabis Ruderalis
Auto Gorilla Glue #4 by BSB Genetics is an autoflowering hybrid that combines the renowned potency of the original Gorilla Glue lineage with the rapid, day-length independent flowering of Cannabis ruderalis. This cultivar is recognized for its dense trichome coverage and a powerful, relaxing effect profile, making it a high-THC option for both experienced consumers and cultivators seeking efficient cycles.
Appearance
This cultivar typically grows to a compact size, ranging from 60-120 cm indoors, with most phenotypes settling around 75-100 cm. It exhibits stout internodes and vigorous lateral branching, leading to a broad canopy. The leaves start dark green and broad, reflecting indica influence, and narrow slightly as the plant matures. Mature flowers are densely packed with trichomes, giving them a frosted appearance and a tacky texture. Calyxes swell by week five to six, and the buds often display olive to forest green coloration, accented by vivid orange pistils and occasional deep purple flecks under specific temperature conditions.
Aroma & Flavor
The aroma of Auto Gorilla Glue #4 is characterized by a pungent fusion of diesel, chemical, and sour notes, layered with a distinct sweet chocolate undertone, hinting at its Chocolate Diesel heritage. Upon closer inspection or when the buds are broken apart, a deeper complexity emerges, revealing notes of coffee and earth. The flavor profile mirrors the aroma, delivering a dense, oily smoke with initial diesel-citrus and roasted cacao notes. A spicy, earthy element rises during the inhale, followed by a lingering bittersweet chocolate finish on the exhale.
Effects
Consumers report that Auto Gorilla Glue #4 delivers a potent and calming experience. It is known for inducing relaxing and euphoric sensations that can lead to a significant couch-lock effect, particularly at higher doses. This strain is often sought after for its ability to provide a heavy-handed, calming influence, making it a popular choice for unwinding.
Terpenes & Cannabinoids
Auto Gorilla Glue #4 is recognized for its high THC content, typically ranging between 19% and 24% in well-cultivated samples, with potential to exceed this under optimal conditions. Its CBD levels are reported to be less than 1%. The terpene profile is commonly dominated by beta-caryophyllene, beta-myrcene, and limonene, supported by humulene and pinene. This combination contributes to the strain's characteristic sweet-and-sour diesel aroma with savory-spicy undertones.
Growing
As an autoflowering variety, Auto Gorilla Glue #4 flowers independently of light cycles, typically completing its life cycle from seed to harvest in approximately 9 to 11 weeks. It is generally considered manageable for growers, with a preference for stable indoor conditions. The plant's morphology is characterized by a compact structure with good lateral branching and significant resin production, which can make harvesting and trimming somewhat sticky. Growers often note its robust trichome coverage, a hallmark of the Glue lineage.
Origins and Lineage
Auto Gorilla Glue #4 is the autoflowering version of the highly influential Gorilla Glue #4 (GG4), also known as Original Glue. The original GG4 emerged from an accidental hermaphroditic event and was stabilized into a phenotype combining Chem's Sister, Sour Dubb, and Chocolate Diesel. BSB Genetics developed this autoflowering variant by integrating Cannabis ruderalis genetics to enable rapid, day-length independent flowering while aiming to preserve the potency and resin output of the original hybrid.
