Monkey Glue Auto is Growers Choice’s autoflowering version of Gorilla Glue #4, one of the most celebrated American strains of the past decade. GG#4 was born by accident when a Chem Sister plant was pollinated by a Sour Dub, and the resulting hybrid quickly became famous for its extreme resin and potency.
The name says it all: everything sticks to this plant, from gloves to scissors. Monkey Glue Auto carries that trait into a fast, compact package with a balanced 50% Indica / 50% Sativa genetic split and 24–26% THC. Growers Choice lists CBD as medium, a touch higher than many modern hybrids.
Plants stay at 80–100 cm (31–39 in) both indoors and outdoors and grow with an Indica-leaning structure. Despite the small frame, indoor yields are listed at 650–750 g/m² (2.13–2.46 oz/ft²).
Flavor and Effects of Monkey Glue Auto
The aroma is strong and pungent, with the classic GG#4 mix of earthy chem funk, fresh lemon and a hint of diesel. It is the kind of smell that needs a good carbon filter.
The smoke is thick and flavorful. Bright lemon cuts through first, then heavier diesel and earth roll in, and the breeder warns of a good cough on a big pull. Imagine a lemon wedge squeezed over a hot engine block: sharp, oily and impossible to ignore.
Effects are intense and long-lasting. The 50/50 balance gives a heady lift at the start, followed by a heavy, settled body feel that keeps you planted. It is a potent strain that rewards a slow pace and a free evening.
Growing Monkey Glue Auto Indoors and Outdoors
Monkey Glue Auto starts flowering automatically, so run 18/6 or 20/4 lighting from seed to harvest. Growers Choice lists about 11 weeks indoors for the full cycle. Like its photoperiod parent, it is forgiving, and even growers with limited experience can bring in impressive crops.
The compact frame makes it ideal for small tents and stealth setups. Light LST in the first weeks spreads the branches and boosts yield per square foot. Outdoors, Monkey Glue handles both warm and cold climates and shows high mold resistance. The real challenge comes at harvest: wear gloves and keep isopropyl alcohol nearby for the scissors, because the resin really is that sticky.
Indoors is where Monkey Glue Auto truly earns its numbers: several plants in a small tent, each trained low and wide, can fill the space with sticky colas and reach the listed 650–750 g/m² (2.13–2.46 oz/ft²). Outdoors, it stays compact at 80–100 cm (31–39 in), which keeps it discreet in gardens and on balconies, and its quick cycle allows more than one crop per season in mild regions.
