Caged Gorilla
Also known as: Caged Gorilla Glue, Caged GG
Caged Gorilla Strain Overview
Caged Gorilla is a potent hybrid cannabis strain that emerged in the mid-2010s as a phenotype selection from the popular Gorilla Glue lineage. Breeders sought to stabilize and enhance certain characteristics of the original Gorilla Glue #4, resulting in this distinct cultivar. The strain's name references both its genetic heritage and its powerful, restrained potency that users describe as being 'caged' until consumption.
The strain is characterized by dense, resinous buds that display a striking appearance with deep green foliage contrasted by vibrant orange pistils and a heavy coating of milky trichomes. The buds typically have a compact, indica-dominant structure despite the hybrid classification. Caged Gorilla gained popularity in both medical and recreational cannabis markets for its balanced effects and reliable performance.
Notable features include its exceptional resin production, making it favored by concentrate producers, and its relatively stable genetic expression across different growing environments. The strain has maintained a consistent presence in dispensaries and seed catalogs, though it remains less widely documented than its parent strains in formal cannabis literature.

Caged Gorilla Strain Growing Information
Caged Gorilla is considered a moderate-difficulty strain to cultivate, suitable for growers with some experience. The plants have a flowering time of 8-9 weeks indoors and are ready for harvest by early October outdoors. Indoor yields typically range from 400-500 grams per square meter, while outdoor plants can produce 500-600 grams per plant.
The strain performs well in both indoor and outdoor environments, though it prefers a Mediterranean climate with consistent temperatures. Plants tend to stay relatively compact, reaching heights of 100-150 cm indoors and 150-200 cm outdoors. Special considerations include maintaining proper humidity control during flowering to prevent mold due to the dense bud structure, and implementing training techniques like topping or LST to maximize light penetration and yield. The plants respond well to nutrient feeding but can be sensitive to overfeeding.
