3 Gorillas
Also known as: Three Gorillas
Overview
3 Gorillas is an evenly balanced hybrid strain (50% indica/50% sativa) created through crossing Gorilla Glue #4 (GG4) and The Missing Link strains. Developed by Mycotek, this strain represents sophisticated cannabis breeding that blends traditional methods with modern genetic insights. The Missing Link parent is itself a complex backcross involving GG4 and elite Chem genetics from Top Dawg Seeds, creating a unique genetic profile that emphasizes the potent qualities of the Gorilla family lineage.
The strain is characterized by dense, resinous buds that showcase deep forest green colors intermingled with hints of purple and bright orange pistils. The flowers are diamond-shaped and fluffy with an airy texture, covered in a generous coating of frosty, tiny golden-white crystal trichomes. This visual appeal is matched by its complex aromatic profile and carefully balanced effects that cater to both recreational and medical users seeking a comprehensive cannabis experience.

Growing Information
3 Gorillas can be cultivated both indoors and outdoors with medium to tall plant height. The strain responds well to Screen of Green (ScrOG) and Low Stress Training (LST) techniques for optimal yields. Indoor flowering time is typically 8-10 weeks under a 12/12 light cycle, requiring 600-1000 watts per square meter. The strain benefits from careful environmental monitoring to prevent mold, with optimal humidity and temperature control being crucial. Growers report that the plants produce dense, heavy buds requiring support during flowering. The strain is noted for its sticky, resinous trichome production. Growing difficulty is considered moderate, requiring some experience for best results.
