Also known as: GKR
Gorilla Runtz Strain Overview
Gorilla Runtz is an evenly balanced hybrid strain (50% indica/50% sativa) created by crossing Gorilla Glue #4 with Bubba Runtz, developed by Turn It Up Genetics. This strain emerged from the early-2020s wave of dessert-forward cannabis cultivars, combining the candy-sweet profile and bag appeal of the Runtz lineage with the potent, resin-rich characteristics of the Gorilla Glue family. The pairing represents a strategic union of two highly influential flavor and effect trends in modern cannabis breeding.
Gorilla Runtz buds display impressive visual characteristics with long, fluffy, spade-shaped forest green nugs adorned with super thin orange hairs and chunky amber-tinted white crystal trichomes. The flowers are notably dense and coated in a thick layer of white crystals, often developing striking dark green and purple hues that enhance their visual appeal. This strain is recognized for its exceptional resin production, with some phenotypes yielding over 50% oil by weight when pressed, making it highly prized for extraction purposes.

Gorilla Runtz Strain Growing Information
Gorilla Runtz is considered suitable for growers of all experience levels, being relatively easy to grow and fairly adaptive. Indoor cultivation typically requires 8-10 weeks flowering time (approximately 60-70 days), while outdoor growers can expect mid-October harvests in temperate latitudes. The strain offers strong yield potential with 450-600 g/m² indoors and 600-1,000 g per plant outdoors under ideal conditions. Plants tend to stretch during flowering, making them ideal for topping and low-stress training (LST) techniques. The strain demonstrates high resistance to pests and responds well to training methods. Growers should expect dense, resinous flowers with exceptional trichome production reaching up to 4% terpene content under optimal conditions.
