Auto Gorilla
Auto Gorilla is a modern, autoflowering variety derived from Ruderalis genetics. Designed for accessibility, this strain is recognized for its straightforward cultivation process, which requires 73 days to complete its flowering cycle. Because of its resilient nature, it is suitable for both indoor and outdoor cultivation environments, though growers should anticipate a low yield from each plant. This variety is notable for serving as a parent to Auto New Glue XXL.
The chemical profile of Auto Gorilla is defined by a diverse range of compounds, led by dominant myrcene, followed by caryophyllene and limonene. The secondary and tertiary layers of its aromatic structure include pinene, terpinolene, linalool, beta-pinene, humulene, nerolidol, ocimene, bisabolol, guaiol, camphene, caryophyllene-oxide, and p-cymene. This complex combination of terpenes informs the sensory experience, providing a distinct aromatic footprint that reflects this modern breeding lineage.
Functionally, Auto Gorilla is a THC-dominant cultivar engineered to produce relaxed, happy, and uplifted effects. These characteristics make it a practical choice for consumers seeking relief from stress and pain, and it is frequently utilized as a nighttime aid to support sleep. Its genetic legacy continues to influence the development of modern autoflowering genetics, most notably through its contribution to its offspring, Auto New Glue XXL.

Research notes below describe isolated terpene mechanisms and early findings. They do not guarantee effects from this strain and are not medical advice.
Russo 2011: naloxone-sensitive analgesia, potentiates barbiturate sleep; dominant sedating terpenoid; blocks hepatic carcinogenesis by aflatoxin.
~28%
spicy
●●○○
Russo 2011: only terpene that is a selective full CB2 agonist (100 nM); Gertsch et al. 2008: acts as dietary cannabinoid; unique anti-inflammatory and gastric cytoprotective properties.
Russo 2011: increases serotonin in prefrontal cortex + dopamine in hippocampus via 5-HT1A; Johns Hopkins 2024: significantly reduced anxiety vs THC alone.
Effects
Reported effects — derived from terpene chemistry and cannabinoid profile.
relaxed
eveningPrimary endpoint of myrcene+linalool sedating combinations; GABA modulation is the dominant mechanistic driver.
happy
anytimeuplifted
morningLimonene anxiolytic/antidepressant via serotonin elevation in prefrontal cortex (Russo 2011); mood improvement without full euphoria; key for balanced-1-1 profiles.
Genetic Profile
