Royal Gorilla Auto set out to change minds about what an autoflower can do. Royal Queen Seeds took two of its most potent photoperiods, Royal Gorilla and Royal Cookies, and folded in ruderalis genetics, creating a fast, sturdy auto with the frost and punch of its famous parents.
Her makeup is 50% indica, 30% sativa and 20% ruderalis, and THC reaches up to 20% with minimal CBD. Buds come out chunky, extra-gooey and loaded with a diesel-tinged aroma.
Indoors, plants stretch to 2 to 3 feet (60–90 cm) and can deliver 11 to 14 oz/m² (310–395 g/m²), with long colas and strong side branches in good conditions. Outdoors in warm climates she grows into a bushy 3 to 5 feet (90–150 cm) plant yielding 4 to 6 oz/plant (115–170 g/plant).
The whole cycle runs 70 to 85 days from germination, roughly 10 to 12 weeks, so you can be trimming sticky Gorilla buds before a photoperiod would even finish flowering.
Flavor and Effects of Royal Gorilla Auto
Her flavor layers bright citrus and ripe fruit over a bed of fresh pine, with a diesel and Kush undertone inherited from the Gorilla side. The smoke is dense and resinous, and the aroma lingers in the room.
Effects arrive in two acts. First comes a euphoric, cerebral buzz that sharpens colors and conversation. Then the body takes over, and a heavy, contented stone settles in. It feels like getting a bear hug from a very friendly gorilla: overwhelming at first, then warm and impossible to escape. Plan to stay put.
Growing Royal Gorilla Auto Seeds
Royal Gorilla Auto is easy to crop and low maintenance. She does not need a 12/12 switch; run 18/6 or 20/4 from seed and she flowers on her own, spending about 45 to 55 days (roughly 6.5 to 8 weeks) in bloom. Her structure makes her a strong candidate for Sea of Green, packing several plants into one tent for a fast, uniform harvest.
Outdoors, give her a large container, plenty of sun, well-draining soil and light feeding. Because she ignores day length, you can start new rounds from spring to late summer and collect multiple harvests in one season, especially in regions with long, warm summers.
