Gorilla Hair

Hybrid

Also known as: Gorilla Haze

What is the Gorilla Hair strain?

Gorilla Hair is a hybrid cannabis strain with up to 24.0% THC, known for its relaxed effects and earthy and pine flavor profile.

Gorilla Hair is a relatively rare cannabis strain that appears to be a hybrid cross, though its exact genetic lineage remains somewhat uncertain in cannabis literature. The strain is believed to have emerged in the early 2010s, possibly as a phenotype selection from existing genetics rather than a deliberate breeding project. Its name references both the dense trichome coverage that gives buds a hairy appearance and a potential connection to Gorilla Glue genetics, though this relationship is not definitively documented.

The strain produces medium-sized, conical buds that are typically forest green with occasional purple hues when exposed to cooler temperatures during cultivation. The most distinctive feature is the exceptionally thick coating of trichomes that gives the buds a frosty, almost white appearance and contributes to the 'hairy' visual characteristic. The buds are usually dense and resinous, with orange pistils weaving through the flower structure. The trichome density suggests this strain was likely selected for its resin production potential.

Gorilla Hair remains somewhat obscure in mainstream cannabis culture, with limited commercial availability compared to more established strains. Its rarity means that consistent phenotypic expression can vary between different growers' crops. The strain's effects are generally described as balanced, with users reporting both cerebral and physical components. Due to its limited documentation, some cannabis enthusiasts consider Gorilla Hair a collector's strain or a phenotype variation of better-documented genetics.

How do you grow Gorilla Hair?

Gorilla Hair is considered a moderate-difficulty strain to cultivate, suitable for growers with some experience. The flowering time is approximately 8-9 weeks indoors, with outdoor harvests typically ready in late September to early October in northern hemisphere climates. Plants tend to be medium in height, reaching 3-5 feet indoors and 5-7 feet outdoors with proper training.

Yields are moderate to high when grown optimally, with indoor growers reporting 1.5-2 ounces per square foot under optimal conditions. The strain responds well to both indoor and outdoor cultivation, though indoor growing allows better control over environmental factors. Gorilla Hair prefers a Mediterranean-like climate with low humidity during flowering to prevent mold issues.

Special considerations include the need for good air circulation due to dense bud structure, and careful nutrient management as the plants can be sensitive to overfeeding. Training techniques like topping and low-stress training can improve yields. The heavy trichome production makes this strain susceptible to pest issues, requiring vigilant monitoring. Due to its rarity, stable phenotypes may vary between seed batches.
