Afghan Gorilla
Afghan Gorilla
Also known as: Afghan x Gorilla, Afghan x Gorilla Glue
Overview
Afghan Gorilla is an indica-dominant hybrid cannabis strain developed by 2 Guns and a Guy Seed Company, a veteran-owned specialty seed company in the United States. This strain was specifically created to address the stability issues commonly associated with Gorilla Glue #4, which is notorious for hermaphroditic tendencies that can ruin crops. By crossing Gorilla Glue #4 with heritage Afghan Skunk genetics, the breeders successfully increased vigor, strength, resistance, and yields while eliminating the hermaphrodite problems. Afghan Gorilla retains most of the characteristic GG4 smell and flavor profile while adding subtle fruit and skunk notes from its Afghan lineage. The strain exhibits some stretch during flowering and requires plant support due to its heavy, resin-laden flowers. It maintains the exceptional terpene production and sticky flower characteristics that made Gorilla Glue famous, while providing enhanced stability for cultivators. This heady hybrid delivers great results for both recreational and medicinal users, combining the potent effects of its Gorilla Glue heritage with the reliability and therapeutic benefits of traditional Afghan genetics.

Growing Information
Afghan Gorilla is considered easy to grow and suitable for both indoor and outdoor cultivation, as well as greenhouse growing. The strain has a flowering time of approximately 8-9 weeks (69 days). Plants are medium-sized and exhibit some stretch during the flowering phase, requiring support structures due to heavy flower production. The strain shows good resistance to pests and environmental stresses, inheriting hardy characteristics from its Afghan genetics. Yields are described as medium to heavy, with enhanced vigor compared to its Gorilla Glue #4 parent. The strain is particularly valued by growers for eliminating the hermaphrodite tendencies that plague standard GG4 while maintaining potency and resin production.
