Our Gorilla Glue autoflower seeds offer loads of advantages for both novice and experienced growers alike. The plants will automatically produce flowers without having to wait for a change in the light cycle. This makes for a short maturation period, so if you are in a hurry or want to have multiple harvests all year round, these seeds are for you. Furthermore, the relatively short vegetative stage means that the plants are small and compact. Whether you are growing in a tiny closet or outdoors, you will appreciate this strain’s “stealth mode”.
Although it may seem that autoflowers are a newfangled thing, they have a decades-long and interesting history. It may surprise many people to know that cannabis is often divided into three species, not just two. These are Indica, Sativa, and the lesser-known Ruderalis. Beginning in the 1970s, growers started experimenting by crossbreeding Cannabis ruderalis with existing strains. Because this species originated in eastern and central Europe where the summers are shorter, it adapted by flowering earlier and faster. Eventually, it lost its dependence on the sun’s seasonal cycles and became completely autoflowering. Thanks to the addition of Ruderalis genes, we now have plants that mature faster with minimal light manipulation by cultivators.
Gorilla Glue Autoflower will remain in the vegetative stage for only two weeks. Therefore, the time available to train its growth is limited. To increase the yield, tie down the side branches. Doing so will encourage new budding sites to develop. Stop topping the plant once it enters the flowering stage, around six to eight weeks from germination. You may harvest your plant sequentially by pruning the higher buds first, and then allow the lower ones to fatten up before taking those. The final height of the plant will be between 24 and 40 inches (60 to 100 cm).
Unlike its photoperiod version, autoflowering Gorilla Glue can be grown throughout the year. It can even flourish outdoors in wet climates due to its resistance to mold and rot. For maximum efficiency, you can prepare your next batch of plants at the same time that you are harvesting the first one. You will get an average of five ounces of usable marijuana per plant, less than regular seeds, but you can have continuous production. Seedlings and mature plants can stay under the same lighting conditions without any problem.
This strain’s buds are famous (or infamous) for being extremely sticky. Be careful when your harvest – the resin will glue your fingers together and clog up your cutting tools, hence the name Gorilla Glue. The buds are chunky and light green with orange pistils poking through. You will surely be impressed by the thick coating of white trichomes that gives them a snowy appearance.
