Gorilla Treats
Also known as: Gorilla Treat, GT
Gorilla Treats Strain Overview
Gorilla Treats is a potent hybrid cannabis strain that has gained popularity among experienced users for its balanced effects and distinctive flavor profile. The strain was developed by crossing two well-known varieties: Gorilla Glue #4 and Animal Cookies. This genetic combination creates a plant that inherits the resin production and potency of Gorilla Glue #4 along with the sweet, dessert-like qualities of Animal Cookies. The strain first emerged in the mid-2010s as breeders sought to create a variety that offered both recreational appeal and therapeutic potential.
Visually, Gorilla Treats plants produce dense, chunky buds that are typically lime green with occasional purple hues, especially when exposed to cooler temperatures during cultivation. The flowers are heavily coated in trichomes, giving them a frosty, sticky appearance that reflects its Gorilla Glue lineage. Orange pistils weave through the buds, creating a striking contrast against the green background. The strain's aroma is complex, combining earthy, diesel-like notes from its Gorilla Glue parent with sweet, cookie-like undertones from Animal Cookies.
Gorilla Treats is known for its balanced effects that begin with cerebral stimulation before transitioning to full-body relaxation. The strain has become particularly popular in the evening or nighttime due to its tendency to induce sedation in higher doses. Cultivators appreciate its relatively straightforward growing characteristics, though its high resin production requires careful attention to humidity control during the flowering stage to prevent mold development.

Gorilla Treats Strain Growing Information
Gorilla Treats is considered a moderate-difficulty strain to cultivate, suitable for growers with some experience. The plants typically flower in 8-10 weeks indoors, with outdoor harvests occurring in late September to early October in the Northern Hemisphere. Indoor yields are substantial, averaging 450-550 grams per square meter, while outdoor plants can produce 500-700 grams per plant under optimal conditions. The strain performs well in both indoor and outdoor environments but thrives in controlled indoor settings where humidity can be carefully managed. Plants tend to be medium in height, usually reaching 100-150 cm indoors and 150-200 cm outdoors. Special considerations include maintaining proper airflow and humidity control (especially during late flowering) due to the dense, resinous buds that are prone to mold if conditions are too humid. The plants respond well to training techniques like topping and low-stress training to maximize yield.
