Auto Kong 4 Cannabis Seeds by Paradise Seeds
Auto Kong 4 is an autoflowering feminised cannabis seed from Paradise Seeds that packs the resinous punch of the original Gorilla Glue into a fast-finishing, beginner-friendly package. Paradise Seeds crossed an insanely sticky GG cutting from the US with their own stable autoflower Pandora, and the result is a refined Dutch cultivar that goes from seed to harvest in just 65–70 days. This is the first autoflower in the Chong's Choice collection — and it earned that spot.
Why Auto Kong 4 Deserves a Spot in Your Grow
The original Gorilla Glue became a legend for one reason: the buds are so caked in trichomes they literally stick to your fingers. Auto Kong 4 keeps that trait intact. When you handle these buds after harvest, you'll need scissors and rubbing alcohol — the resin is thick, crystalline, and coats everything it touches. That's the GG genetics doing exactly what they're supposed to do.
What Paradise Seeds added with the Pandora cross is speed and stability. You don't need to manage light schedules. You don't need months of patience. Drop the seed, give it light, water, and nutrients, and 65–70 days later you're trimming fat colas. For an autoflower, the yields are genuinely impressive — about 450g/m² indoors is the benchmark, and outdoors you can pull over 100g per plant without breaking a sweat.
The honest limitation? Like most autos, you can't clone her, and you've got a fixed timeline — there's no extending veg to fill a bigger canopy. If you want absolute maximum yield per plant and don't mind a longer grow, a photoperiod strain will outproduce her. But for speed, simplicity, and potency per day of growing, Auto Kong 4 is hard to beat in the autoflower category. We'd pick this over most GG autos on the market because the Pandora backbone gives it genuine stability — two clear phenotypes rather than a genetic lottery.
Two Auto Kong 4 Phenotypes: Sativa vs Indica
Auto Kong 4 develops two distinct phenotypes, and both are worth growing. Knowing which one you've got helps you plan your space and set expectations for flavour.
| Trait | Sativa Phenotype | Indica Phenotype |
|---|---|---|
| Height | Up to 150cm | Around 120cm |
| Structure | Taller, more stretch | Bushier, more compact |
| Flavour Profile | Citrusy GG notes | Sweeter Pandora notes |
| THC Content | Up to 20% | Up to 20% |
| Effect Character | More energetic lean | Heavier relaxation lean |
The sativa pheno stretches more during early flowering — if you're growing in a tent with limited headroom, keep that 150cm ceiling in mind and consider some low-stress training early on. The indica pheno stays squatter at around 120cm and tends to stack denser nugs. Both phenos hit up to 20% THC, so potency isn't a trade-off either way. You'll know which one you've got within the first few weeks by how much vertical stretch you see.

How to Grow Auto Kong 4
Auto Kong 4 is not too difficult to grow, which makes it a solid choice if you're stepping up from your first auto grow or want a reliable producer in a mixed tent. Here's how to get the most from your 3 seeds.
- Germinate your Auto Kong 4 seeds using the paper towel method or directly in a small pot of moist, airy soil. Taproots typically emerge within 24–72 hours.
- Transplant seedlings into their final container early — 11–15 litre pots work well. Autos don't love being transplanted once established, so get them into their permanent home within the first week.
- Run your lights on an 18/6 or 20/4 schedule from start to finish. Auto Kong 4 doesn't need a light cycle change to trigger flowering — she'll flip on her own around week 3–4.
- Feed lightly during the seedling stage and increase nutrients gradually as she enters pre-flower. The GG genetics are hungry during flower, so don't be shy with phosphorus and potassium once you see buds forming.
- Watch for the stretch. The sativa phenotype can shoot up quickly in early flower — if headroom is tight, apply gentle low-stress training by bending the main stem to open up the canopy.
- Expect massive colas covered in thick resin from around week 5 onwards. The buds will look crystalline and feel incredibly sticky to the touch — this is the GG heritage showing through.
- Harvest at 65–70 days from seed. Check trichomes with a loupe — you're looking for mostly cloudy with a few amber heads for the best balance of potency and effect.
Flavour, Aroma, and What to Expect from Auto Kong 4
The smell hits you during the last few weeks of flower — a pungent, fuel-forward funk with either citrus top notes (sativa pheno) or a rounder sweetness (indica pheno). If you're growing indoors without a carbon filter, your neighbours will know about it. This is not a subtle strain.
Once dried and cured, the buds are dense, frosty, and genuinely difficult to break apart by hand. A grinder is non-negotiable. The smoke carries that classic GG profile: earthy, diesel-like, with a sticky mouthfeel that lingers. The indica phenotype adds a candy-like sweetness from the Pandora side that smooths out the sharper fuel notes.
The effect combines an initial energetic lift with a gradual slide into heavy physical relaxation — the same combination that made the original Gorilla Glue a favourite among cannabis enthusiasts worldwide. At up to 20% THC, Auto Kong 4 is not a casual smoke. According to research reviewed in Cannabinoids: New Promising Agents in the Treatment (Russo et al.), cannabis compounds may contribute to symptom reduction in various contexts, though individual responses vary considerably (PMC6271458). As noted in Phytocannabinoids and Male Fertility, cannabis can cause changes in perception and difficulty focusing at higher doses (PMC12900019) — something worth keeping in mind with a strain this potent.
Complete your Auto Kong 4 setup: pair these seeds with a propagation kit to nail germination, and grab a jeweller's loupe so you can time your harvest by trichome colour rather than guesswork. If you're growing in a tent, a carbon filter is essential — this strain reeks in the best possible way.
Auto Kong 4 vs Other GG Autoflowers
There are dozens of Gorilla Glue autos floating around from various seed banks, and frankly, quality varies wildly. What sets Auto Kong 4 apart is the breeding pedigree. Paradise Seeds didn't just slap auto genetics onto a GG clone and call it done — they used Pandora, one of their most stable autoflowering lines, as the backbone. The result is consistent phenotype expression (two clear phenos, not five random ones), reliable yields around 450g/m², and a seed-to-harvest timeline of 65–70 days that actually holds up in practice.
If you want a photoperiod GG with potentially higher yields and no time cap, look at the original GG strains in the Paradise Seeds catalogue. But if speed and simplicity are what you're after — and you don't want to sacrifice the resin production and potency that made GG famous — Auto Kong 4 is the best GG autoflower we'd recommend from this breeder's lineup.
Frequently Asked Questions
How long does Auto Kong 4 take from seed to harvest?
65–70 days from germination to harvest. That's the full cycle — no separate veg and flower periods to manage. She starts flowering on her own around week 3–4 regardless of your light schedule.
What yield can I expect from Auto Kong 4 indoors?
Around 450g/m² indoors under good conditions. Outdoors, expect over 100g per plant. For an autoflower finishing in under 10 weeks, those numbers are genuinely strong.
Does Auto Kong 4 need a light schedule change to flower?
No. She's a true autoflower — flowering triggers automatically based on age, not light cycle. Run 18/6 or 20/4 from seed to harvest for best results.
How tall does Auto Kong 4 grow?
The sativa phenotype can reach 150cm with some stretching. The indica phenotype stays bushier at around 120cm. Low-stress training helps manage height in smaller tents.
Is Auto Kong 4 suitable for beginner growers?
Yes. Paradise Seeds describes her as not too difficult to grow. The autoflowering genetics remove the need to manage light schedules, and the 65–70 day timeline means you're not committed for months. Just don't overwater or overfeed during the seedling stage.
What does Auto Kong 4 smell and taste like?
Pungent diesel and earth from the GG side, with either citrus notes (sativa pheno) or sweeter candy tones (indica pheno) from Pandora. The resin production is extreme — buds look frosted and stick to everything they touch.
How many seeds come in a pack of Auto Kong 4?
Each pack contains 3 feminised autoflowering seeds.
