GORILLA

Gorilla is an indica-dominant hybrid; 60% indica and 40% sativa. Its breeders created it by crossing the classic Sour Dubb and Chem’s Sister, and Chocolate Diesel strains. If you’re looking for a super well-balanced high that hits the body and mind, this is the strain for you. Gorilla is one of the most popular cannabis strains in America. But its discovery was completely coincidental. Two Breeders from the United States, Lone Watie and Joesy Whales, discovered the strain after Whale’s Chem Sis plants hermied accidentally and pollinated his Sour Dubb – something which is typically a disaster if it happens to cannabis breeders.

We don’t know exactly why, but Watie decided to keep some of the “spoiled” seeds when Whales tossed out the plant. Later, perhaps out of curiosity, Watie germinated some of the seeds, and what emerged from the soil was one of the most spectacular strains in recent times.
Immediately, the two passionate breeders knew they had created something very special and were pleasantly shocked by the results of the first THC measurements. On average, the Gorilla strain has THC levels of about 25%. Gorilla induces a potent effect that is very relaxing, perfect for stress relief and chilling out. However, what makes the high extra special is that the chilled effect is balanced with a happy and uplifting high.

Royal Gorilla has a sweet and earthy aroma enriched with pine and lemon notes. This makes for a great-tasting smoke that will impress even the pickiest of cannabis connoisseurs.

Royal Gorilla has a sweet woody pine flavor and features a light lemony diesel exhale. The foundation is a sweet earthiness, with notes of lemon and pine from the terpenes limonene and pinene.

The Royal Gorilla plant grows massive buds that feature wonderful lime-green leaves. Thanks to its strong resin production, the leaves become covered with an abundance of trichomes that sparkle beautifully in the sun.

Gorilla probably isn’t a strain that you would choose for its yields, which are rather moderate. The focus on this strain is the quality of the bud, rather than the quantity. It quickly conquered growers with the exceptionally high-quality of its flowers. Although the yield is average, the plant has unbelievably resin-heavy buds that release a mouth-watering floral aroma.

It is possible to grow Royal Gorilla indoors or outdoors, but it is better for indoor cultivation. It’s a fast-flowering variety, and when growing indoors, the plant can be harvestable after 8-9 weeks of bloom. In outdoor cultivation, it’s ready to harvest in mid-October and delivers a maximum production of 500-550g per m2. In the grow-op or outdoors in a dry, warm climate, Gorilla is a superior performer. Mature plants grow to a medium-tall size and feature an abundance of sprawling secondary shoots. We highly recommend early training and pruning. Gorilla seeds are available to purchase from Royal Queen – the original creators.

As if an incredible 24-26% of THC wasn’t crazily high enough, some strains could weigh in at a spectacular 30%. This is the highest level of THC that has been measured in any strain to date.

Gorilla is all about the THC level. There is not much information available on its CBD content. However, Royal Gorilla doesn’t seem to exceed 1% CBD.

We couldn’t find any specific side effects that are linked to Royal Gorilla. However, minor side effects are always a possibility, especially with high THC strains. Here are a few of the most common side effects associated with weed: Dry/cottonmouth, Dry eyes, Distorts sense of time, Enhance appetite, Dizziness.
