Gorilla King Auto by Kannabia Seeds – High-Yielding Autoflowering Hybrid for Indoor & Outdoor

Gorilla King Auto by Kannabia Seeds is your express ticket to a heavy harvest of dense, resin-coated buds, delivering a potent and motivating high without the long wait of photoperiod strains.

Stuck waiting months for your harvest?

You want top-shelf quality, but you don't have the patience or space for a long, complicated photoperiod grow. The fear of messing up a delicate plant or waiting forever for results can leave your stash empty and your enthusiasm fading.

That frustration is real.

It leads to settling for less, buying from others, or giving up on growing altogether because it feels too slow and demanding. You miss out on the pride and satisfaction of cultivating your own exceptional cannabis.

This is where Gorilla King Auto changes the game.

This strain is specifically engineered for growers who want guaranteed success and speed. It's the autoflowering solution that packs the punch of a premium photoperiod strain into a compact, fast-finishing plant. You learn by doing, with a forgiving genetics that rewards even simple care.

What you can expect the first few times

Your first run with Gorilla King Auto will surprise you with its vigor. You'll see rapid growth from the start, building a strong, bushy structure with good spacing between branches. It's normal for the plant to stay relatively compact indoors, around 1 m (3.28 ft) tall, making it perfect for discreet setups.

The aroma will start sweet and earthy, intensifying into a complex spicy-floral bouquet as flowering progresses. Don't worry if growth seems explosive at week 3-4; this autoflower is just hitting its stride and beginning its automatic transition to bloom.

Typical mistakes and how to avoid or fix them

• Overwatering seedlings: Keep the substrate lightly moist, not soaked. Let the top layer dry slightly between waterings to encourage strong root growth.
• Using pots that are too small: Transplant your auto into its final large pot (18-27 L / 4.8-7.1 gal) early, by day 10-14, to avoid stunting its rapid growth cycle.
• Overfeeding, especially with nitrogen: Autoflowers are sensitive. Start with half the recommended dose of a mild, organic nutrient kit and increase only if the plant shows it needs it.
• Aggressive pruning or topping: Avoid high-stress training. Stick to gentle Low-Stress Training (LST) to open up the canopy without shocking the plant.
• Ignoring humidity in late flower: As buds dense up, lower humidity to 40-50% and ensure excellent airflow to prevent mold.
• Harvesting too early: Patience pays. Wait for most trichomes to turn milky white with some amber for a fully developed, potent effect.

How to fine-tune until you find your perfect sweet spot

1. Start simple: Use a quality, well-aerated soil mix and stick to a basic light schedule of 18/6 from seed to harvest.
2. Change only one thing at a time: On your next grow, try adjusting just the nutrient strength or introducing a root and enzyme booster to compare results.
3. Take notes: Record feeding dates, any signs of stress, and how the plant responds. This is your personal grow bible.
4. Dial in the environment: Aim for temperatures of 22-26°C (71.6-78.8°F) during growth and 20-25°C (68-77°F) in flowering for optimal metabolism.
5. Observe trichome development: Use a jeweler's loupe. Harvest when trichomes are mostly cloudy for a more energetic high, or wait for 20-30% amber for a more relaxing, full-bodied effect.
6. Perfect your dry and cure: Dry slowly at 18-22°C (64.4-71.6°F) and 50-60% RH for 10-14 days, then cure in jars, burping daily for 2-4 weeks to maximize flavor and smoothness.

Advantages and benefits of treating it as a learning process

• Faster cycles mean more tries: With a ~75-day life cycle, you can run multiple grows in a year, learning and improving each time.
• Builds unshakeable confidence: Success with a robust strain like this proves you can do it, removing the intimidation factor.
• You discover your personal preferences: You learn exactly how you like your weed grown, dried, and cured for your perfect smoke.
• Saves money long-term: Mastering a single, high-yielding strain eliminates costly trial-and-error with multiple seed packs.
• Deepens your connection to the plant: Understanding its lifecycle from a tiny seed to a fragrant harvest is incredibly rewarding.
• Opens doors to more advanced techniques: Once comfortable, you can experiment with specific growth boosters or SCROG nets to push yields even further.

Frequently Asked Questions

How long does it take to really "get" growing this strain?

Most growers feel confident after 1-2 successful cycles. Gorilla King Auto is forgiving, so your learning curve is shorter. By the second grow, you'll have dialed in your watering and feeding routine for even better results.

How do I know if I'm using it (the plant's potential) correctly?

The plant will tell you. Healthy, dark green leaves during vegetative growth and a steady production of white pistils and resin glands during flowering are good signs. If growth stalls or leaves show burns, reassess feeding. A happy Gorilla King Auto is a vigorously growing, fragrant bush.

What if I don't like the effect from my first harvest?

The effect can vary slightly based on harvest time. If it's too racy, next time let more trichomes turn amber before chopping. If it's too sedative, harvest earlier when trichomes are mostly cloudy. This control is a key benefit of home-growing.

Personal Experience of Pevgrow's CEO (Alan)

I've run Gorilla King Auto a few times, both in my tent and on a sunny balcony. What struck me first was its sheer vigor—it explodes out of the gate and doesn't stop. My biggest lesson? Don't baby it. I made the mistake of overfeeding on my first attempt, chasing bigger yields, and got some nutrient burn on the tips. Lesson learned: she's a heavy feeder, but you need to ramp up slowly. I found the sweet spot was using a light organic soil mix and only introducing a bloom booster when the first real flowers showed.

The best run I had was in a 25 L (6.6 gal) fabric pot with a simple LST tie-down. I just bent the main stem over early to let the side branches catch up, creating an even canopy. The yield was insane for an auto—dense, golf-ball sized buds absolutely caked in resin. The smell in the tent was a delicious mix of sweet pine and fuel, which translated perfectly into the smoke. The high is exactly what I look for in a daytime strain: powerfully uplifting and creative without any fog or couch-lock. It's become my go-to recommendation for anyone who thinks autos can't be potent or productive.
