Triple G Auto Strain
Triple G Auto by Royal Queen Seeds takes some seriously recognisable modern genetics and packs them into a compact, Indica-dominant automatic.
The immediate cross is:
Triple G × Big Skunk Auto
But go back another generation and things get even more interesting.
Triple G is Royal Queen Seeds’ combination of Royal Gorilla and Green Gelato, bringing Gorilla Glue and Gelato genetics together before Big Skunk Auto enters the family tree.
The finished Triple G Auto is 80% Indica, 15% Sativa and 5% Ruderalis, with THC reaching up to 20%.
Then there’s the flavour.
Candy, chocolate, earth and Skunk.
At SeedMasters.com, that’s probably our favourite part. Triple G Auto manages to combine the sweeter, dessert-like character of modern American genetics with an unmistakably old-school Skunk edge.
What’s Behind the Triple G Name?
The name makes considerably more sense once you look at the photoperiod parent.
Triple G was created by Royal Queen Seeds from its own versions of two famous American genetic families:
Royal Gorilla × Green Gelato
RQS also describes that genetic background as Gorilla Glue #4 × Gelato 33.
That’s where the Triple G name comes from – Gorilla Glue Gelato.
Royal Queen Seeds then crossed Triple G with Big Skunk Auto to create the automatic version.
It’s a good choice of automatic parent because Big Skunk Auto contributes more than the autoflowering trait. It also introduces another recognisable old-school flavour influence into a family tree otherwise dominated by modern American genetics.
The end result is a bit of both worlds.
Gorilla.
Gelato.
Skunk.
All sitting in the same family tree.
Candy, Chocolate, Earth and Skunk
Royal Queen Seeds currently lists four main flavours:
Candy · Chocolate · Earthy · Skunk
That’s a much more interesting combination than straightforward sweetness.
Candy and chocolate give Triple G Auto the dessert-like side you’d expect from its Gelato heritage.
Then earth and Skunk pull everything in the opposite direction.
At SeedMasters.com, we’d describe it as sweet candy and chocolate layered over an earthy, pungent Skunk base.
And that’s really what makes this strain stand apart for us.
Plenty of modern autos are sweet.
Plenty are fruity.
Triple G Auto has some dirtier old-school character underneath all that sweetness.
The Big Skunk Auto influence isn’t just there to put the word “Auto” after the strain name.
You can see its contribution to the finished flavour profile too.
Up to 20% THC
Royal Queen Seeds currently gives Triple G Auto a THC content of:
Up to 20%
CBD is listed as low.
The breeder describes its character as:
Clear · Fast Thinking · Motivating
That’s actually quite interesting considering the genetic split is heavily Indica dominant at 80% Indica.
RQS’s broader descriptions also mention a heavier and more relaxing physical side, so this isn’t presented as a straightforward energetic Sativa-style automatic.
Instead, the strain seems to combine a clearer mental character with the heavier physical influence you’d expect from all those Indica genetics.
As always, the THC percentage and characteristics are breeder-supplied reference information rather than guaranteed results for every individual expression.
Compact but Not Tiny
Triple G Auto remains fairly compact, although there’s some variation in the breeder’s stated height range.
Royal Queen Seeds currently lists indoor height at:
60–120cm
Outdoor height is:
80–140cm
Flowering takes approximately:
55–60 days
The complete cycle is listed at:
70–85 days
Indoor production is given as 450–500g/m², while outdoor production sits at approximately 90–140g per plant.
The flowers themselves retain plenty of the visual character associated with the Triple G family, developing a thick resin coating and contrasting pistils over dense, chunky structures.
For SeedMasters.com customers, these specifications are included purely as breeder-supplied reference information for identifying and comparing collectible cannabis genetics.
Triple G vs Triple G Auto
It’s worth separating the two because the specifications are quite different.
The original Triple G is a feminized photoperiod created from Gorilla Glue #4 and Gelato 33 genetics. Royal Queen Seeds currently lists it at up to 26% THC and 85% Indica / 15% Sativa.
Triple G Auto takes those genetics and crosses them with Big Skunk Auto.
The resulting automatic is:
80% Indica / 15% Sativa / 5% Ruderalis
with:
Up to 20% THC
So the Auto doesn’t match its photoperiod relative for headline potency.
But again, we don’t think it needs to.
It’s a different expression of the same genetic family, with Big Skunk Auto adding its own influence rather than simply functioning as an anonymous source of autoflowering genetics.

Our Take on Triple G Auto
At SeedMasters.com, Triple G Auto is one of those strains where following the family tree makes the product considerably more interesting.
Start with Gorilla Glue.
Add Gelato.
Then bring in Big Skunk Auto.
That’s quite a combination.
The Gorilla and Gelato side gives Triple G its modern American identity, while Big Skunk Auto takes things back towards a more traditional pungent cannabis profile.
You can see that mixture particularly clearly in the flavours.
Candy and chocolate on one side.
Earth and Skunk on the other.
We’d take that over another generic fruit-and-sweets profile any day.
We also like that Royal Queen Seeds hasn’t tried to pretend the Auto matches photoperiod Triple G’s potency. The original reaches up to 26% THC; Triple G Auto is listed at up to 20%.
That’s still a respectable figure, but it’s accurate to the product rather than borrowing numbers from its photoperiod relative.
For collectors browsing Royal Queen Seeds at SeedMasters.com, we’d put Triple G Auto firmly in the modern American genetics camp – just with a welcome bit of old-school Skunk thrown into the mix.
Gorilla, Gelato and Skunk.
That’s ultimately what gives Triple G Auto its personality.
