Gorilla OG Kush
Also known as: Gorilla OG, Gorilla OG #4
What is the Gorilla OG Kush strain?
Gorilla OG Kush is a hybrid cannabis strain with up to 25.0% THC, known for its relaxed effects and citrus and diesel flavor profile.
Gorilla OG Kush is a potent hybrid cannabis strain that represents a cross between two legendary strains: Gorilla Glue #4 and OG Kush. This combination brings together the best characteristics of both parent strains, resulting in a cultivar known for its powerful effects and distinctive aroma. The strain emerged in the mid-2010s as breeders sought to combine the resin production and potency of Gorilla Glue #4 with the classic structure and flavor profile of OG Kush.
Visually, Gorilla OG Kush typically displays dense, chunky buds with a forest green coloration, often accented by vibrant orange pistils. The flowers are heavily coated in trichomes, giving them a frosty, sticky appearance that reflects its Gorilla Glue heritage. The strain's name references both its genetic lineage and its tendency to produce effects that some users describe as 'heavy' or 'glue-like' in their physical relaxation properties.
Gorilla OG Kush has gained popularity among both recreational and medicinal users for its balanced yet potent effects. While specific breeding details vary between different seed banks and growers, most agree that this strain maintains the best qualities of both parent lines, offering a complex terpene profile and reliable performance in cultivation. The strain has become particularly noted for its consistency across different growing environments and its ability to produce substantial yields of high-quality cannabis.

How do you grow Gorilla OG Kush?
Gorilla OG Kush is considered a moderately difficult strain to cultivate, suitable for intermediate to experienced growers. The plants typically flower in 8-10 weeks indoors, with outdoor harvests occurring in late September to early October in northern hemisphere climates. Indoor yields are substantial, often reaching 450-550 grams per square meter, while outdoor plants can produce 500-600 grams per plant under optimal conditions.
The strain performs well in both indoor and outdoor environments but thrives in controlled indoor settings where temperature and humidity can be carefully managed. Plants tend to be medium to tall in height, requiring some vertical space, particularly in the flowering stage. Gorilla OG Kush benefits from training techniques like topping and low-stress training to manage height and improve light penetration to lower bud sites.
Special considerations include maintaining proper airflow to prevent mold in the dense buds and careful nutrient management, as the plants can be sensitive to overfeeding. The strain's heavy resin production makes it particularly susceptible to pests like spider mites, so regular inspection is recommended. Growers should also be prepared for the strong odor during flowering, which requires adequate carbon filtration in indoor setups.
