Gorilla Scout Cookies
Also known as: GSC Gorilla, Gorilla GSC
Gorilla Scout Cookies Strain Overview
Gorilla Scout Cookies is a potent hybrid cannabis strain created by crossing two legendary strains: Gorilla Glue #4 and Girl Scout Cookies. This combination brings together the heavy resin production and powerful effects of Gorilla Glue #4 with the complex flavor profile and balanced high of Girl Scout Cookies. The strain emerged in the mid-2010s as breeders sought to create a variant that combined the best traits of both parent strains, resulting in a cultivar that has gained popularity among both recreational and medicinal users.
The strain typically produces dense, resin-coated buds with a distinctive appearance featuring dark green leaves accented by purple and orange pistils. The nugs are often heavily frosted with trichomes, giving them a glittering appearance that reflects the strain's high potency. The aroma profile is complex, combining earthy, diesel-like notes from the Gorilla Glue lineage with sweet, cookie-like undertones from the Girl Scout Cookies parentage.
Gorilla Scout Cookies is known for its balanced effects that begin with cerebral stimulation before transitioning to full-body relaxation. The high THC content makes this a strain best suited for experienced consumers, though its balanced nature makes it more approachable than some other high-potency varieties. The strain has become particularly popular in legal markets where consumers seek both recreational enjoyment and potential therapeutic benefits.

Gorilla Scout Cookies Strain Growing Information
Gorilla Scout Cookies is considered a moderately difficult strain to cultivate, making it better suited for growers with some experience. The plants typically flower in 8-10 weeks indoors and are ready for harvest by early to mid-October outdoors. Indoor yields average 400-500 grams per square meter, while outdoor plants can produce 500-600 grams per plant. The strain prefers a controlled indoor environment but can also thrive outdoors in Mediterranean climates with consistent temperatures. Plants tend to be medium in height with a bushy structure, requiring some training and pruning to maximize light penetration and airflow. Special considerations include maintaining proper humidity levels during flowering to prevent mold on the dense buds and providing adequate support for the heavy, resinous colas.
