Gorilla Auto Seed-to-Harvest Time

Insights gleaned from growdiaries.com reveal a diverse spectrum of seed-to-harvest durations, spanning an impressive range from 8 to 24 weeks, with an average cycle time of 11.6 weeks. Approximately a quarter of growers reported a 10-week life cycle, emerging as the most prevalent duration. While a small minority experienced quicker cycles, the majority witnessed longer durations. There was less variability in the vegetative stage, with just under half of the grows featuring a 4-week veg period. Longer vegetative durations are more likely than shorter ones.

Moving outdoors, our data collection extended to 35 grows, where the average cycle duration stood at 11.6 weeks.

Despite our diligent efforts to discern connections between the grow cycle duration, cultivation mediums, and training techniques, the results mostly yielded a rather meaningless mosaic. However, cultivation in coco coir and hydroponic consistently translated to a longer wait for harvest compared to soil grows.

Gorilla Auto Flowering Time

Gorilla Auto’s flowering time spans a dynamic range from 4 to 15 weeks, with an average duration of 7.4 weeks. The majority of these cycles clustered within the 6-7 weeks range. Among the 35 recorded outdoor grows, the average flowering time stood at 7 weeks.

Gorilla Auto Height

In examining grow diaries with available data on plant size, the average height of Gorilla Auto at harvest was found to be 65 cm. For the 30 outdoor grows with available height information, the average height remained consistent at 64 cm.

Considering the impact of growers’ interventions on plant height, a discernible pattern emerged. Untrained plants exhibited a tendency to grow taller, while the use of Low-Stress Training (LST) consistently emerged as an effective method for height control. Topping, however, yielded varying results, with some plants maintaining a shorter stature, while others exhibited noticeable stretching.

Further analysis revealed distinct height tendencies based on the cultivation medium. Plants cultivated in soil tended to be smaller, those in coco weren’t different, and hydroponic setups resulted in significantly taller plants. Surprisingly, when investigating the relationship between pot size and plant height at harvest, clear patterns were elusive. While a general upward trend in height was observed with larger pots, the average results peaked at 20 liters.

Gorilla Auto Yield

Based on available grow cycle data where yield figures were provided, Gorilla Auto demonstrated a wide range of productivity, with plants yielding between 9 and 650 grams. (Take with a grain of salt the highest figures as we’re not sure the growers were honest. Or they may have made a mistake.) On average, the harvest occurred at 11.6 weeks from sprouts, resulting in a typical per-plant yield of around 77 grams.

Yield figures exhibited significant variation across different growing mediums. Hydroponic and coco coir setups showed an average yield of 146 grams and 143 grams respectively. In contrast, soil cultivation resulted in a lower average yield of 64 grams per plant.

The correlation between grower training methods and yield outcomes was evident. Untrained plants exhibited both the lowest and highest yields, depending on other variables. Low-stress training methods, such as LST, offered less spectacular and more consistent results but still displayed significant variance. Growers employing high-stress methods like topping or FIMing achieved outcomes that were even less consistent and better than the overall average. Additionally, data from 35 outdoor plants with available information indicated an average yield of around 44 grams.
