Ape Zkit Auto by Dr Krippling
Ape Zkit Auto by Dr Krippling brings together two varieties that need very little introduction: Gorilla Glue and Zkittlez.
It is an obvious pairing on paper, but it works for a good reason. Gorilla Glue brings the pungent earthiness, thick resin and powerful character, while Zkittlez adds a much sweeter mix of tropical fruit, berries and citrus. The finished variety sits somewhere between the two, offering plenty of fruity flavour without losing the heavier, stickier side of its genetics.
For anyone looking for an autoflower with recognisable American heritage, a bold terpene profile and seriously frosty flowers, Ape Zkit Auto is well worth considering.
Gorilla Glue Meets Zkittlez
The Gorilla Glue side of this cross can be traced back to Chem’s Sister, Sour Dubb and Chocolate Diesel. These genetics are responsible for much of the earthy, fuel-heavy character and abundant resin production associated with the Glue family.
Zkittlez brings a completely different flavour. With Grape Ape and Grapefruit in its background, it is known for its sweet fruit, berry and citrus notes.
Bringing these two varieties together gives Ape Zkit Auto a nice balance. The Zkittlez influence makes the aroma brighter and more approachable, while Gorilla Glue gives it the depth and pungency needed to stop the profile from becoming overly sweet.
The result is a feminised autoflower that feels familiar but still has enough personality to stand on its own.
Earthy, Sweet and Tropical
Ape Zkit Auto has a rich aroma that develops in layers.
The first impression is earthy and resinous, with the deeper scent of Gorilla Glue coming through clearly. There may also be touches of diesel, wood and a slightly chemical sharpness sitting in the background.
The sweeter notes follow soon afterwards. Tropical fruit, grape, berries and grapefruit lift the heavier base and give the profile a much more colourful finish.
The main aromas associated with Ape Zkit Auto include:
Rich earth
Pungent resin
Diesel and woody undertones
Sweet tropical fruit
Ripe berries
Grape
Grapefruit and citrus
We think the contrast between the two sides is what makes the variety interesting. It has enough sweetness to satisfy fans of fruity genetics, but there is still a strong earthy and gassy foundation underneath.
Chunky Flowers with Plenty of Resin
The Gorilla Glue influence is also easy to see in the finished flowers.
Ape Zkit Auto produces chunky buds with a thick covering of sticky trichomes. The heavy resin gives them a frosted appearance and helps carry the variety’s strong mix of earth, fuel and tropical fruit.
Dr Krippling describes the flowers as being coated almost like sticky tape, which gives a good idea of just how resinous this strain can become.
Its main visual qualities include:
Thick, chunky flower formations
Heavy trichome coverage
Sticky resin production
A bright, frosted finish
Strong modern bag appeal
There are plenty of sweet autoflowers available, but not all of them have this heavier, Glue-style appearance. That extra resin and density give Ape Zkit Auto a more substantial feel than many fruit-led automatic varieties.
Powerful but Positive
Ape Zkit Auto is described as producing a strong mixture of euphoria and physical relaxation.
The experience is said to begin with a noticeable mental lift, creating a happy and positive mood. As it develops, the heavier side of the genetics starts to take over, bringing a deeper sense of calm and physical relaxation.
Its overall character can be described as:
Euphoric
Mentally uplifting
Physically relaxing
Powerful and long lasting
Calm and comforting
Better suited to more experienced enthusiasts
The Zkittlez influence gives the variety a cheerful edge, but the Gorilla Glue background means it is unlikely to feel lightweight. This is still a powerful autoflower with a strong, relaxing finish.
Recognisable American Genetics in Autoflowering Form
One of the main reasons we like this cross is that both parents bring something obvious to the finished variety.
From Gorilla Glue, Ape Zkit Auto inherits:
Heavy resin production
Earthy and diesel aromas
Chunky flower structure
Strong physical relaxation
From Zkittlez, it gains:
Tropical fruit sweetness
Berry and grape flavours
Fresh citrus notes
A brighter, more euphoric personality
Neither side seems to disappear into the background. You still get the thick resin and pungency expected from a Glue hybrid, but the sweeter Zkittlez flavours make the overall profile more balanced.
That makes Ape Zkit Auto an easy variety to understand, especially for collectors who already enjoy either of its parent strains.

Our Take
At SeedMasters.com, we think Ape Zkit Auto is a straightforward cross that has been put together for all the right reasons.
Gorilla Glue and Zkittlez are very different varieties, but their qualities complement each other surprisingly well. The Glue side adds resin, density and a strong earthy base, while Zkittlez brings the tropical fruit and citrus needed to brighten everything up.
What appeals to us most is that it does not sound overly sweet. The fruit is clearly there, but it sits over a pungent mix of earth, diesel and resin. That gives Ape Zkit Auto a bit more depth than many candy-style autoflowers.
The flowers are another strong point. Chunky buds with thick trichome coverage are exactly what we would hope to see from a Gorilla Glue hybrid, and the added Zkittlez influence makes the aroma much more colourful.
For collectors browsing the SeedMasters.com range for a powerful autoflower with established American genetics, plenty of resin and a balanced mix of fuel and fruit, Ape Zkit Auto is an easy one to recommend.
