Gorilla Z Auto by Barney's Farm

Gorilla Z Auto gives Barney’s Farm’s top-selling Cali Collection feminized strain the super auto makeover. An initial cross of GG4 Gorilla Glue and the Original Z was crossed again with BF Super Auto #1, yielding a 75% Indica autoflower with 25% THC.

Barney’s Farm sells this strain as Gorilla Z Auto. The BF Super Auto #1 parent adds strength, resistance to pests and harsh conditions, and a root system that takes off from day one.

The plant grows into a pine-shaped Christmas tree of kushy flowers covered in juicy trichomes, reaching 80–100 cm (31–39 in) indoors and 90–120 cm (35–47 in) outdoors. Seed to harvest takes 75–80 days, with 450–500 g/m² (1.47–1.64 oz/ft²) indoors and 130–200 g (4.6–7.1 oz) per plant outdoors.

It is an intensely aromatic auto that delivers fruit-candy terpenes with heavyweight US potency.

Lineage: GG4, Original Z and BF Super Auto #1

GG4 Gorilla Glue is famous for coating everything it touches in sticky resin and for its knockout strength. The Original Z brings the fruit: a candy-sweet, berry-loaded terpene profile.

BF Super Auto #1 locks in the autoflowering trigger and adds vigor and hardiness. The three-way combination keeps the dense kush flower of Gorilla Glue and the fruity character of the Z in a compact, fast plant.

Aroma, Flavor and Effect

The aroma is a burst of summer fruit, sweetness and ripe berries, strong enough to scent the whole grow space by mid-bloom.

The flavor is described as a fruit explosion: sweet and berry-heavy from the first draw. It tastes like a bowl of mixed summer berries drizzled with candy syrup, bright, fizzy and lingering.

Barney’s Farm lists the effects as uplifting, euphoric and relaxing. The high opens with a happy, bubbly lift, then the indica side eases the body into a calm, steady place. With 25% THC, it is potent, so smaller servings work well for lighter consumers.

Growing Gorilla Z Auto Indoors and Outdoors

Run 18/6 or 20/4 from seed to harvest; no light switch is required. Sow into the final pot so the vigorous root system from BF Super Auto #1 can spread from the start.

Indoors, the plant reaches 80–100 cm (31–39 in) with a tree-like shape. Light LST in weeks 2 to 4 helps side branches catch up to the central cola. The buds are dense and resinous, so steady airflow and moderate humidity during late bloom matter. A well-lit tent yields 450–500 g/m² (1.47–1.64 oz/ft²).

Outdoors, it grows to 90–120 cm (35–47 in) and produces 130–200 g/plant (4.6–7.1 oz/plant). Its added resistance to pests and harsh conditions helps in open gardens, and the 75–80 days cycle fits comfortably into a warm season.
