Gorilla Skunk
Gorilla Skunk
Also known as: Gorilla Skunk Surprise
Overview
Gorilla Skunk is a potent modern hybrid cannabis strain that expertly combines the resin-drenched genetics of the renowned Gorilla Glue family with the classic funk and vigor of traditional Skunk lineages. This cultivar emerged as a natural progression in cannabis breeding, fusing the adhesive frost, exceptional potency, and long-lasting effects of Gorilla Glue #4 with the rugged growth characteristics and unmistakable skunky aroma profile of Skunk #1. The strain was developed by multiple breeders working similar genetic concepts, with notable versions including the 'Gorilla Skunk Surprise' phenotype bred by GibbsKutz Genetics. The result is a well-balanced hybrid known for producing dense, extraordinarily sticky flowers with a loud, complex bouquet that blends skunky-citrus notes with earthy undertones. Gorilla Skunk plants typically display medium to tall stature with vigorous lateral branching, featuring broad leaflets with rich green hues that reflect indica-leaning influence from Skunk derivatives. During flowering, the plants develop chunky, golf-ball to cola-length buds that stack tightly along main branches, often showing deep purples and fiery oranges with a glimmering frost of trichomes.

Growing Information
Gorilla Skunk is considered moderately difficult to grow, requiring attention to detail and specific cultivation techniques. The strain flowers in 63-70 days (9-10 weeks) and can be cultivated both indoors and outdoors. Indoor plants benefit from ScrOG systems and controlled environments with stable temperature, humidity, and airflow. Growers should maintain optimal pH levels and use organic nutrients for best results. The plants respond well to training techniques due to robust branching characteristics inherited from Skunk genetics. Expected yields are high when grown under ideal conditions, with exceptional resin production making this strain appealing to both flower and concentrate producers.
