Gorilla Auto
Gorilla Auto is a modern, autoflowering variety developed through the integration of Ruderalis genetics. This strain is designed for ease of maintenance and is suitable for cultivation in both indoor and outdoor environments. With a flowering cycle of 79 days, the plant maintains a low yield throughout its development. Its genetic footprint has proven versatile, serving as the foundation for several notable offspring, including Fighting Gorillaz, Gorilla Cookie Auto, Highland Gorilla, and Mazarilla Auto.
The chemical complexity of Gorilla Auto is defined by a broad terpene profile that prioritizes myrcene, followed by caryophyllene and limonene. Secondary and tertiary contributions come from pinene, terpinolene, linalool, beta-pinene, humulene, nerolidol, and ocimene, with trace amounts of bisabolol, guaiol, camphene, caryophyllene-oxide, and p-cymene rounding out the sensory experience. This specific sequence of aromatics dictates the strain's nuanced flavor profile, providing a dense chemical bouquet that defines its identity in the modern autoflowering category.
As a THC-dominant variety, the effects of Gorilla Auto are characterized by feelings of relaxation, happiness, and an uplifted state. These specific properties make the strain a functional choice for individuals addressing concerns related to stress, pain, and sleep. Through its documented progeny, Gorilla Auto maintains a consistent genetic legacy within the breeding community, favored for its predictable cannabinoid output and manageable growing cycle.

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.

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
Autoflower
Photoperiod-independent. Flowers based on age, not light cycle. Compact and fast.
THC-Dominant
High THC, trace CBD. Psychoactive. Full CB1 agonism — euphoria, appetite, analgesia.
