Gorilla Bubble
Also known as: Gorilla Bubble BX, GG4 BX
Gorilla Bubble Strain Overview
Gorilla Bubble is a stabilized backcross (BX) strain developed by breeder Tony Green of Tony Green's Tortured Beans. The strain was created by crossing the original Gorilla Glue #4 (GG4) with a selected Sour Bubble male, then repeatedly backcrossing to GG4 to stabilize the genetics while enhancing certain desirable traits. This breeding process aimed to preserve the potent effects and resin production of GG4 while introducing improved structure, flavor complexity, and genetic stability.
The strain exhibits characteristics typical of its GG4 lineage, featuring dense, resin-coated buds with a complex aroma profile. Plants typically display a mix of dark green and purple hues with vibrant orange pistils. The trichome coverage is exceptionally heavy, giving the buds a frosty, sticky appearance that inspired the 'Gorilla Glue' name. Gorilla Bubble is known for its robust growth structure that improves upon some of the cultivation challenges associated with the original GG4.
Gorilla Bubble has gained recognition in cannabis cultivation circles for its combination of commercial appeal and grower-friendly characteristics. While maintaining the high potency and therapeutic potential of its parent strain, it offers more predictable growth patterns and reduced hermaphroditic tendencies. The strain represents a successful example of targeted backcross breeding in modern cannabis genetics, balancing preservation of desirable traits with genetic refinement.

Gorilla Bubble Strain Growing Information
Gorilla Bubble is considered a moderate difficulty strain suitable for intermediate growers. Flowering time typically ranges from 8-10 weeks indoors. Plants exhibit a bushy structure with strong lateral branching, reaching medium to tall heights (4-6 feet outdoors, 3-4 feet indoors). The strain performs well in both indoor and outdoor environments, preferring a Mediterranean-like climate when grown outside. Expected yields are above average, with indoor growers reporting 14-18 ounces per square meter and outdoor growers achieving 16-20 ounces per plant. Special considerations include maintaining proper humidity control during flowering to prevent mold due to dense bud structure, and implementing training techniques like topping or SCROG to maximize light penetration and yield. The strain shows improved genetic stability compared to its GG4 parent with reduced hermaphroditic tendencies.
