Gorilla Grape
Also known as: Grape Gorilla, Gorilla Grape Glue
Gorilla Grape Strain Overview
Gorilla Grape is a hybrid cannabis strain created by crossing two potent and popular strains: Gorilla Glue #4 and Grape Ape. This combination results in a plant that inherits the powerful effects and resin production of Gorilla Glue #4 along with the distinctive grape flavor and indica-leaning relaxation of Grape Ape. The strain emerged in the mid-2010s as breeders sought to combine these desirable traits, though its exact origin and breeder remain somewhat uncertain in the cannabis community.
The strain typically produces dense, chunky buds with a deep green coloration often accented by purple hues, especially when exposed to cooler temperatures during cultivation. These buds are usually covered in a thick layer of trichomes, giving them a frosty appearance that hints at their potency. The aroma is a complex blend of sweet grape, earthy undertones, and sometimes diesel-like notes inherited from its Gorilla Glue lineage.
Gorilla Grape is known for its balanced effects that begin with cerebral stimulation before transitioning to full-body relaxation. This makes it popular among users seeking both mental and physical relief. The strain's relatively high THC content and distinctive flavor profile have contributed to its popularity in both recreational and medicinal cannabis circles, though it remains less widely available than its parent strains.

Gorilla Grape Strain Growing Information
Gorilla Grape is considered a moderate-difficulty strain to cultivate, suitable for growers with some experience. The plants typically flower in 8-10 weeks indoors and are ready for outdoor harvest in late September to early October. Indoor yields are generally good, producing approximately 400-500 grams per square meter, while outdoor plants can yield 500-600 grams per plant under optimal conditions.
The strain can be grown both indoors and outdoors, though indoor cultivation allows better control over environmental factors. Plants tend to be medium in height, making them suitable for limited spaces. Special considerations include maintaining proper humidity levels to prevent mold (due to dense buds) and providing adequate support for branches during flowering. Some phenotypes may benefit from temperature drops during late flowering to enhance purple coloration.
