Gorilla Glue #4 Strain Autoflower SeedsGG4's sticky resin on a compact, ruderalis-bred plant
No reviews yet · be the first to review Gorilla Glue #4The Gorilla Glue #4 strain as an autoflower is GG4 bred with ruderalis, so the plant begins flowering after a few weeks of growth no matter how long the lights stay on. Seed banks list this version at about 8 to 10 weeks from seed, 60–120 cm (2–4 ft) tall and 18–24% THC: a smaller, faster harvest than photoperiod GG4 with the same fuel, pine and cocoa character. These are feminized autoflower seeds, so every plant should be female.

What is the Gorilla Glue #4 strain?
Gorilla Glue #4 Auto is the autoflowering edition of GG4, made by breeding the famous Chem-and-Diesel hybrid from GG Strains with ruderalis. That ruderalis side makes the plant bloom by age instead of day length, so it is ready roughly 8 to 10 weeks after the seed sprouts. Autoflower listings put it at 60–120 cm tall and 18–24% THC, a little below the photoperiod original, while keeping the tacky resin and fuel-and-cocoa smell GG4 is known for.
Ruderalis genetics trigger flowering after a few weeks of growth, so GG4 Auto never needs a 12-hour light period.
Gorilla Glue #4 strain specs
No single breeder owns the GG4 autoflower, so these numbers come from autoflower listings by ILGM, MSNL, BSB Genetics and Original Sensible Seeds, with Leafly and AllBud data for the photoperiod parent. Rows that describe the parent say so.

Where does the Gorilla Glue #4 strain come from?
Gorilla Glue #4 Auto starts with GG Strains' Gorilla Glue #4, a Nevada hybrid with Chem's Sister, Sour Dubb and Chocolate Diesel in its background, which seed companies later bred into ruderalis stock. Ruderalis, a tough, low-THC plant native to cold northern areas, starts blooming once the plant is old enough, regardless of the light. Breeders usually backcross the offspring toward GG4 for several generations to win back potency and resin while keeping the automatic bloom.
Several companies sell their own GG4 autoflower, including ILGM, MSNL, BSB Genetics and Original Sensible Seeds, and none of them say which ruderalis line they used. That explains why their timings differ by a week or two and their heights by 20–40 cm. The photoperiod parent's history carries over: the #4 cut topped the 2014 Cannabis Cups in Los Angeles and Michigan and took the Original Glue name in 2017.
How is GG4 Auto different from photoperiod GG4?
GG4 Auto is smaller, quicker and a little less potent than photoperiod Gorilla Glue #4. Autoflower listings put it at 60–120 cm and 8–10 weeks from seed with 18–24% THC. Feminized photoperiod GG4 needs a separate veg stage plus 8–10 weeks of 12-hour nights, can top 1.5 m indoors, and is advertised at up to 28% THC.
Choose by space and season. The auto suits small tents, balconies and short summers; the photoperiod version suits growers who want to train a wide canopy for the biggest harvest.
What are Gorilla Glue #4 Auto's flavor and effects?
Aroma and flavor
Gorilla Glue #4 Auto keeps the parent's piney, earthy diesel smell, with a dark-coffee and cocoa note that comes forward once the buds are dried. ILGM's listing also mentions a mossy, herbal side and a sour, cheesy tang on some plants.
- Pine
- Earthy
- Diesel
- Coffee
- Chemical
- Sour
Terpenes
- Caryophyllene
- Black-pepper spice at the base
- Myrcene
- Musky, herbal body
- Limonene
- A light citrus edge on top
GG4 Auto's terpene list comes from ILGM and MSNL autoflower listings and matches Leafly's data for the photoperiod parent.
Reported effects
Users describe Gorilla Glue #4 Auto as a body-heavy, relaxing hybrid with a happy, euphoric first wave. ILGM's listing leans toward couch-lock and a strong appetite, and MSNL calls the effect relaxing and heavy, which lines up with reports for photoperiod GG4.
- Relaxed
- Euphoric
- Hungry
- Couch-locked
- Sleepy
Commonly reported downsides of Gorilla Glue #4 Auto are cottonmouth and dry eyes, and some people feel paranoid after a strong dose.
These Gorilla Glue #4 Auto effects are drawn from autoflower seed-bank listings and Leafly reports for GG4. Responses vary, and nothing here is medical advice.
How do you grow Gorilla Glue #4 seeds?
Gorilla Glue #4 Auto seeds are easy to grow as long as you avoid early setbacks: sow straight into the final pot, give the plant long days of around 18–20 hours of light all the way through, train gently instead of topping late, and harvest about 8 to 10 weeks after the seed sprouts.
- GerminateDays 1–7
Plant the GG4 Auto seed directly in its final 11–20 L (3–5 gal) container so the taproot never has to recover from a transplant.
- Early growthWeeks 2–4
Bend the main stem sideways and tie it down for low-stress training; skip heavy pruning, because an autoflower can't extend its veg time to recover.
- FlowerWeeks 4–9
GG4 Auto starts flowering by itself while the lights stay on 18/6 or 20/4, stretches modestly, then fills in dense, resin-coated buds.
- HarvestAbout weeks 8–10 from seed
Check the trichomes with a loupe; most growers cut GG4 Auto when they look milky with a few amber heads.
Grow tips for Gorilla Glue #4 Auto
- Don't top late. GG4 Auto has only a few weeks of vegetative growth. If you top at all, do it once around the third node in week 2 or 3; bending and tying is safer.
- Keep one light schedule. Hold a single schedule, 18/6 or 20/4, for the plant's entire life. GG4 Auto blooms by age, and the long days give it more energy to build buds.
- Pot size sets the harvest. With no extra veg time to make up for it, a cramped root zone directly shrinks what GG4 Auto produces, so start in the final pot.
- Small plant, big smell. Compact size doesn't make GG4 Auto discreet; it still gives off the fuel-and-chem aroma, so fit a carbon filter in a tent.
- Use the short cycle outdoors. Sown in late spring, GG4 Auto can be finished by midsummer, well before the late-September to mid-October finish of photoperiod GG4 and the autumn rain.
- Gloves at trimming time. The auto's buds are just as tacky as the original's. Keep rubbing alcohol on hand to wipe resin off your shears.
Is Gorilla Glue #4 the right strain for you?
Great pick if you
- Want GG4's resin and flavor in a compact tent or on a patio
- Need a harvest about 8–10 weeks after sowing
- Would rather not manage a 12-hour dark period
- Are new to growing and want a forgiving, compact plant
Think twice if you
- Want the biggest yield per plant (photoperiod GG4 out-produces it)
- Like to top hard, take clones or keep mother plants; autos can't be held in veg
- Are sensitive to heavy, sedating highs
- Want the highest THC figures GG4 can reach
Gorilla Glue #4 strain FAQ
Is Gorilla Glue #4 Auto indica or sativa?
Gorilla Glue #4 Auto is an autoflowering hybrid. Its GG4 parent is rated about 60% indica by AllBud, and the ruderalis added for autoflowering is neither indica nor sativa. Most seed banks describe the auto as indica-leaning, with a relaxing, body-heavy effect.
How many weeks from seed to harvest is Gorilla Glue #4 Auto?
Most seed banks list Gorilla Glue #4 Auto at about 8 to 10 weeks from germination. BSB Genetics says 8–9 weeks, ILGM 8–10, MSNL roughly 10, and a few listings run to 12–14, so plan on around two and a half months.
Does GG4 Auto need 12 hours of darkness to flower?
No. Gorilla Glue #4 Auto begins flowering on its own once the plant is a few weeks old, whatever the day length. Indoor growers usually give it the same long-day schedule from the first leaves to the final chop.
How tall does Gorilla Glue #4 Auto grow?
Gorilla Glue #4 Auto usually reaches 60–120 cm (2–4 ft). MSNL lists 60–100 cm, Original Sensible Seeds 80–100 cm indoors and Linda Seeds up to 120 cm, so it fits most grow tents without heavy training.
How much THC does Gorilla Glue #4 Auto have?
Autoflower listings put Gorilla Glue #4 Auto at roughly 18–24% THC with under 1% CBD. That is a little lower than the 18–28% claimed for photoperiod GG4, though a well-grown auto is still very strong.
How much does GG4 Auto yield?
Seed banks list Gorilla Glue #4 Auto at 400–600 g/m² under good indoor lights. Outdoor figures vary widely, from roughly 50 g to 400 g per plant, depending mostly on pot size, sunlight and whether the plant was stressed early.
Is GG4 Auto as sticky as photoperiod Gorilla Glue #4?
Growers report that Gorilla Glue #4 Auto still makes heavy resin, the trait behind the strain's name, though the plants are smaller overall. Results vary between seed sources because each company uses its own ruderalis line.
What is the difference between GG4 Auto and feminized GG4?
Both grow only female plants. Feminized GG4 is a photoperiod plant that needs 12-hour nights to bloom, gets taller and yields more. GG4 Auto adds ruderalis, flowers by itself, finishes about 8–10 weeks from seed and stays around 60–120 cm.
