How to grow Gorilla Girl XL Auto
Taste
Seb's take
Gorilla Girl and Sweet Gelato Auto combine in this near-even hybrid, fruity, earthy and citrus on the nose. The effect is strongly stimulating and properly psychedelic — uplifting and energetic at up to 25% THC — with robust yields, particularly for those growing indoors.
Where it comes from
Sweet Seeds crossed Gorilla Girl with their Sweet Gelato Auto to make this near-even autoflowering hybrid, the record breaking the profile down to roughly 42 per cent indica, 57 per cent sativa and a whisker of Ruderalis. Gorilla Girl lends the resin and the Glue-derived character, Sweet Gelato Auto the sweeter edge and the automatic timetable. The record makes much of the renowned parentage and the best traits it passes down. A considered pairing on well-regarded stock.
Nose & flavour
Fruity leads the nose, with an earthy base beneath and citrus cutting brightly across the top. It is a fresh, appetising profile, the fruit and citrus lifting the earthier foundation, the Gelato side making itself felt in the sweetness. A characterful, well-balanced aroma, more fruit bowl than fuel depot, and an inviting one at that. Bright and clean throughout.
The high
Strongly stimulating and, the record has it, properly psychoactive: uplifting and energetic, with a psychedelic edge to it. This is a lively, heady effect rather than a settling one, true to the sativa lean. Good company for a busy afternoon or creative work, and, at up to 25 per cent THC, best met with a measured first draw. A high that elevates rather than sedates.
Growing it
An autoflower, so the light schedule minds itself. Flowering runs 63 days on a medium plant of 60 to 120cm, returning 450 to 550 g/m², with the record noting robust yields especially indoors. THC is recorded at 18 to 25 per cent, with a low 0.1 per cent CBD. Standard in her demands, and manageable in stature, which suits most spaces. A tidy, generous grow, and a lively finish waiting at the end of a short calendar.
