Gorilla Burst
What is the Gorilla Burst strain?
Gorilla Burst is a hybrid cannabis strain with up to 26.0% THC, known for its relaxed effects and cherry and diesel flavor profile.
Gorilla Burst is a potent hybrid cannabis strain developed by crossing two legendary parent strains: Gorilla Glue #4 and Cherry Burst. This combination brings together the powerful effects and resin production of Gorilla Glue #4 with the sweet, fruity terpene profile of Cherry Burst. The strain emerged in the late 2010s as breeders sought to create a variety that maintained the high THC levels and sticky resin characteristics of Gorilla Glue while introducing more complex flavor notes.
The strain typically produces dense, conical buds with a frosty appearance due to heavy trichome coverage. The coloration ranges from deep forest green to purple hues, often accented by vibrant orange pistils. The buds are known for their exceptional stickiness, a trait inherited from its Gorilla Glue lineage. Gorilla Burst has gained popularity among both recreational users and cultivators for its balanced effects and relatively straightforward cultivation requirements.
Notable features include its distinctive aroma profile that combines earthy, diesel notes from the Gorilla Glue parent with sweet, cherry-like undertones from the Cherry Burst lineage. The strain's resin production is particularly noteworthy, making it a favorite among extract artists and concentrate producers. While not as widely available as some mainstream strains, Gorilla Burst has developed a dedicated following in certain cannabis communities.

How do you grow Gorilla Burst?
Gorilla Burst is considered a moderately difficult strain to cultivate, suitable for intermediate growers. The flowering time typically ranges from 8 to 10 weeks when grown indoors. Outdoor plants are usually ready for harvest in late September to early October in northern hemisphere climates. The strain can be grown successfully both indoors and outdoors, though indoor cultivation allows for better environmental control.
Indoor yields average 400-500 grams per square meter, while outdoor plants can produce 500-600 grams per plant under optimal conditions. Plants tend to be medium to tall in height, often reaching 150-180 cm indoors and potentially taller outdoors. The strain responds well to training techniques like topping and low-stress training to manage height and improve light penetration. Special considerations include maintaining proper humidity control during flowering to prevent mold, as the dense buds can be susceptible to moisture-related issues. The plants benefit from regular feeding with balanced nutrients and require adequate support during late flowering due to the weight of the resinous buds.
