Auto Critical x Gorilla Glue #4 SeedsCritical Diesel Auto and Gorilla Glue #4 are some of the most celebrated hybrid strains in the cannabis community. By combining its remarkable attributes such as pungent aroma, decadent flavor, voluminous trichome production, high yielding capacity, sky-high THC levels, and sublime psychoactive and therapeutic effects, an equally phenomenal hybrid with the best of both worlds emerged.The infusion of the autoflowering genetics made Critical x Gorilla Glue #4 auto seeds from Homegrown Cannabis Co. all the more exceptional. Not only does it make the plant more resilient against diseases, but it also hastened its growth cycle. Since it was specifically bred to be not dependent on lighting schedules, it is possible to cultivate several times a year - consequently boosting the yields to exponential levels.As the name implies, Critical x Gorilla Glue #4 Auto is a genetic masterpiece created by crossing the high-yielding and fast-flowering Critical Diesel Auto with the award-winning Gorilla Glue #4.Critical Diesel Auto traces its roots to the classic Skunk #1, an Afghani landrace, NYC Diesel, and a Ruderalis variety. This Sativa-dominant hybrid delivers an uplifting, euphoric yet relaxing buzz that inevitably enhances the mood. Meanwhile, its terpene profile exudes a citrusy aroma with diesel overtone. And since it is an autoflowering variety, it is naturally hardy and has rapid growth rate.On the other hand, there is Gorilla Glue #4 which is best known for its ¬ìgluey¬î and voluminously resinous buds that offer heavy-hitting sedation. It is the product of meticulously backcrossing Sour Dubble, Chem¬ís Sister, and Chocolate Diesel. As such, it comes as no surprise that it inherited these parent strains¬í trademark scent and flavor - a piney, diesel-y aroma with decadent flavors redolent of coffee, chocolate, lemon, and diesel.Critical Diesel Auto itself is no slouch when it comes to potency. Introducing GG4 to its genes though contributed to a much more potent offspring.Critical x Gorilla Glue #4 Auto made a name for itself with its satisfyingly blissful euphoria coupled with a knock-out punch of sedation that will keep the user glued to the couch for hours on end. It fused the quintessential attributes of its origins to create an ultimate plant that is not only high-yielding and resinous but is also hardy and fast-flowering. With such impressive qualities, this autoflowering breed with ensured high germination rate from Homegrown Cannabis Co. is truly a delight to cultivate.Growing Critical x Gorilla Glue #4 AutoCritical x Gorilla Glue #4 Auto is moderately easy to cultivate. Thanks to the ruderalis genetics, it can withstand harsh environmental conditions and even slight neglect - thereby making it impervious to most problems that plague cannabis plants such as mold infestations. This breed makes it possible to harvest heavy yields of densely clustered buds covered in ridiculously thick layers of trichomes even without having to be an expert. However, adequate knowledge and prior experience in cannabis rearing might be required to successfully grow this plant, so it is not recommended for first-time growers.This hybrid grows to a stocky, compact, mid-sized plant - 80-120 cm tall - so it can be grown in indoor and outdoor setups. It tends to be easier to cultivate indoors because the environmental factors could be easily manipulated. However, this plant thrives best in an outdoor garden with a warm temperate climate and ample sunshine.Critical x Gorilla Glue #4 Auto adapts well to the Sea of Green technique, so it is ideal to use this method to maximize the limited horizontal space in an indoor grow room. Not only will this save on space, but it will also hasten the vegging stage and dramatically increase the overall yields. To further boost the plant¬ís development, it is also advisable to add 30% of coco coir to the soil mix. Water it frequently but sparsely - just enough to keep the first 1 to 2 inches of the topsoil damp.Given the fact that it is an autoflowering variety, it only takes 9 to 10 weeks of full life cycle (from seed to harvest) before the resinous buds could be reaped. As such, this breed has an incredibly shorter life span compared to photoperiod strains. That means that the last thing one would want to do is to stress the plant by transplanting it or performing high-stress training (HST) such as cropping and topping. Refrain from doing any of these because given rapid rate of growth, it does not have the time to recover from the stress and injuries. Low-stress training (LST), on the other hand, could help in optimizing the yield.With proper care, sufficient nourishment, and the use of appropriate cultivation techniques, these plants can yield an impressive amount of 450 to 500 grams of trichome-rich nugs indoors and as much as 100 to 200 grams of buds per plant outdoors.Fragrance and FlavorCritical x Gorilla Glue #4 Auto bears its parent strains¬í trademark scent and flavor. It exudes a sweet, fruity, candy-like, and diesel-y aroma mixed with undertones of wood, coffee, and chocolate. This scent profile is well-complemented with the decadent flavors of fresh fruits, coffee, chocolate, sour citrus, and fuel in the background.EffectsThe otherworldly effects of Critical x Gorilla Glue #4 Auto come second to none as it delivers a truly sublime cannabis experience. It initially induces an uplifting and energizing buzz of euphoric high - courtesy of its Sativa lineage. This, in turn, keeps the user in high spirits by bringing about feelings of happiness and a sense of well-being which makes it perfect for socialization.After a while though, this uplifted feeling will be weighed down by the heavy sedative effects of the hybrid¬ís Indica genetics. The relaxation will come creeping in from the head down to the toes without warning - thereby effectively gluing the consumer to the couch. With a fully immobilized body, all that can be done is bask in contentment in the euphoric sensations of calm and tranquility or succumb to the sleepiness tugging down at the eyelids. Such is the reason why this hybrid is best relished as a nightcap after a long, tiring day, or during days when the level of responsibilities is at a bare minimum.Apart from the mentioned effects, this hybrid may also bring about slight discomforts such as cottonmouth, bloodshot and dry eyes, as well as mild dizziness. While these symptoms are inevitable, it tends to dissipate on its own and can be mitigated by hydrating with lots of water or fresh fruit juices. Meanwhile, going overboard when dosing could induce more severe side effects such as anxiety and paranoia. Hence, it is advised to practice responsible dosing at all times.MedicalThe synergy between this hybrid¬ís cannabinoids and terpenes provide immense relief from a wide assortment of ailments - be it psychological or physiological in origin.Critical x Gorilla Glue #4 Auto is most renowned for its potent analgesic properties.
