Gorilla Purp
Also known as: Gorilla Purple, Gorilla Purps
What is the Gorilla Purp strain?
Gorilla Purp is a hybrid cannabis strain with up to 24.0% THC, known for its relaxed effects and berry and diesel flavor profile.
Gorilla Purp is a hybrid cannabis strain that combines the genetics of two prominent strains: Gorilla Glue #4 and Purple Punch. This strain emerged in the mid-2010s as breeders sought to create a cultivar that would blend the potent effects of Gorilla Glue #4 with the distinctive purple coloration and sweet flavor profile of Purple Punch. While its exact origin remains somewhat obscure within the cannabis breeding community, it has gained recognition in various North American markets, particularly in regions where both parent strains have established popularity.
The strain is characterized by dense, resinous buds that often display a striking visual contrast between deep purple and forest green hues, frequently accented by vibrant orange pistils. A thick coating of trichomes gives the buds a frosty appearance, indicative of its high cannabinoid content. The plant structure typically exhibits the sturdy branching inherited from its Gorilla Glue lineage, with the potential for the purple pigmentation to become more pronounced when exposed to cooler temperatures during the flowering phase.
Gorilla Purp has gained attention for its balanced effects and complex aromatic profile. The strain represents a successful fusion of its parent strains' most desirable traits, making it appealing to both recreational users and cultivators. While not as widely documented as some mainstream cultivars, it has developed a dedicated following in certain cannabis communities where its unique combination of potency, appearance, and flavor is particularly valued.

Gorilla Purp is considered a moderate-difficulty strain to cultivate, suitable for growers with some experience. 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 the Northern Hemisphere. The strain can be grown successfully both indoors and outdoors, with indoor cultivation allowing better control over the temperature conditions that enhance purple coloration. Plants tend to remain medium in height, making them manageable for indoor spaces. Expected yields are moderate to high with proper care.
