Gorila Rojo
Also known as: Red Gorilla, Gorilla Rojo
Gorila Rojo Strain Overview
Gorila Rojo is a relatively rare cannabis strain that appears to be a phenotype or variant of the more widely known Gorilla Glue #4 (GG4) strain. The name translates to 'Red Gorilla' in Spanish, likely referring to its genetic connection to Gorilla Glue strains and possibly distinctive reddish coloration in its flowers or leaves. While comprehensive historical documentation is limited, this strain appears to have emerged from selective breeding of GG4 genetics, potentially with other unknown strains to develop its unique characteristics.
The strain typically produces dense, resinous buds with a complex aroma profile that combines earthy, diesel-like notes with subtle sweet undertones. The flowers often display a mix of deep green and purple hues, sometimes with orange or reddish pistils that may explain the 'Rojo' designation. Growers note that Gorila Rojo plants tend to develop a thick coating of trichomes, giving the buds a frosty appearance that suggests high cannabinoid production.
As a GG4 descendant, Gorila Rojo inherits many of the parent strain's desirable traits while potentially offering some distinct variations in flavor, appearance, or effect profile. The strain remains somewhat obscure in mainstream cannabis culture, with most information coming from grower communities and limited commercial availability. Its rarity means that specific characteristics can vary between different growers' expressions of the genetics.

Gorila Rojo Strain Growing Information
Gorila Rojo is considered a moderately difficult strain to cultivate, requiring some experience for optimal results. The flowering time typically ranges from 8 to 10 weeks indoors. Plants tend to be medium to tall in height, often requiring height management techniques indoors. This strain prefers a controlled indoor environment but can also thrive outdoors in Mediterranean-like climates with consistent temperatures. Expected yields are moderate to high with proper care, producing dense, resinous colas. Growers should monitor for mold in dense bud structures and provide adequate support for heavy flowering branches. The plants respond well to training techniques like topping and low-stress training to maximize yield and manage height.
