Gorilla Skunk Auto is a modern, autoflowering variety developed through the crossing of Original Glue with Ruderalis genetics. This hybridization process facilitates an easy cultivation experience suitable for both indoor and outdoor environments, concluding its flowering cycle in approximately 78 days. While the resulting yield is low, the strain maintains a consistent genetic expression due to its autoflowering lineage.
The chemical profile is defined by a dense hierarchy of twelve terpenes, led by caryophyllene, limonene, and myrcene. These are supported by humulene, terpinolene, and linalool, with secondary contributions from pinene, beta-pinene, bisabolol, nerolidol, ocimene, guaiol, and camphene. This specific terpene combination determines the aromatic and flavor characteristics of the flowers, grounding the sensory experience in a varied botanical structure.
As a THC-dominant cultivar, Gorilla Skunk Auto provides an average of 18% THC with negligible CBD levels. Users typically report feelings of being relaxed, happy, and uplifted following consumption, making it a functional choice for those seeking relief from stress, pain, or difficulties with sleep. At present, there are no notable offspring recorded for this variety within the broader genetic catalog.
Terpene Profile

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.
Russo 2011: naloxone-sensitive analgesia, potentiates barbiturate sleep; dominant sedating terpenoid; blocks hepatic carcinogenesis by aflatoxin.
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
