Strawberry Gorilla Auto is the plant that carried Fast Buds to the top of the podium in Los Angeles: in January 2023 it took 1st place at the very first American Autoflower Cup. Bred from GG4 Auto F6 crossed with Strawberry Pie Auto F5, this 55% Sativa / 45% Indica polyhybrid fuses gassy Gorilla muscle with a candy-sweet strawberry nose, and it gets the whole job done in roughly 10 weeks from seed.
The hardware did not stop there. At the 2023 Farmer’s Cup in San Diego, Strawberry Gorilla Auto also claimed the “Highest Combined Terpenes” title in the Home Grow Hash category, and Fast Buds reports a lab result of 29.86% total cannabinoids. The official THC rating reaches up to 28.4% with CBD under 1%, which places this F5 feminized autoflower among the heaviest hitters in the entire Fast Buds lineup.
Because she is an autoflower, there is no light-schedule switch to manage. Keep her under 18/6 or 20/4 from sprout to chop and she moves into bloom on her own internal clock. Fast Buds puts her in the XXL size class: plants stand 110-120 cm (about 43-47 in) tall with thick branches, a dominant main cola, and chunky, spade-shaped side buds. Production is serious: 450-600 g/m² (1.5-2 oz/ft²) indoors and 60-300 g (3-11 oz) per plant outdoors.
By the final stretch, the flowers glitter under the lights, and a gentle squeeze of any top releases a loud blast of strawberry and gas that fills the whole tent.
Flavor, Effect, and Cup-Winning Terpenes
On the palate, picture a gassy strawberry lollipop riding on a berry-diesel base. The sweetness lands first, then a fuel-tinged funk rolls in and hangs around on the exhale. The smoke is smooth but saturated with flavor, and a well-cured jar keeps that sugary-strawberry punch for months.
That terp-heavy, resin-soaked makeup is exactly why hash makers pay attention. The Farmer’s Cup terpene title came from a hash category, and the sticky, trichome-crusted flowers are as at home in a rosin press or an ice-water wash as they are in the grinder.
The high opens with an uplifting, creative head buzz that brightens the mood and gets ideas moving. As it settles, a calm body relaxation spreads out without pinning you to the couch. Grower feedback most often mentions feeling relaxed and happy, with creative and energetic notes close behind, so this hybrid works for a lazy afternoon as well as a laid-back evening.
Growing Strawberry Gorilla Auto
XXL autos reward a generous final container from day one, since transplant shock eats into a short life cycle. Light low-stress training during the first weeks spreads the canopy and lets the side branches catch up with the main cola. Keep air moving through the dense buds in late flower, and plan on roughly 10 weeks from sprouting to harvest. She performs indoors, outdoors, in greenhouses, and under mixed light.
