Gorille de Lis
Also known as: Gorilla de Lis, GDL
What is the Gorille de Lis strain?
Gorille de Lis is a indica cannabis strain with up to 24.0% THC, known for its relaxed effects and citrus and diesel flavor profile.
Gorille de Lis is a potent indica-dominant hybrid strain that has gained recognition for its powerful effects and distinctive aroma. The strain is believed to have originated from French Canadian breeders, though specific historical documentation is limited. It is thought to be a cross between Gorilla Glue #4 and an unknown indica strain, possibly a variant of Death Star or another heavy indica, which contributes to its robust genetic profile and high THC content. The name 'Gorille de Lis' combines 'Gorilla' from its Gorilla Glue lineage with 'de Lis', a nod to the fleur-de-lis symbol often associated with French heritage, reflecting its purported breeding origins.
Visually, Gorille de Lis features dense, resin-coated buds that are typically dark green with occasional purple hues, covered in a thick layer of trichomes and orange pistils. The buds are often chunky and compact, characteristic of indica varieties, with a sticky texture due to the high resin production inherited from its Gorilla Glue parent. The strain's aroma is complex, blending earthy, diesel-like notes with sweet, fruity undertones, while the flavor profile includes hints of pine, citrus, and a subtle spiciness upon consumption. Its appearance and scent make it visually appealing and aromatic, though it is primarily sought after for its strong physiological effects.
Notable features of Gorille de Lis include its high THC levels, which can reach up to 24%, making it a strain favored by experienced users seeking intense relaxation. It is often used in the evening or at night due to its sedative properties, and it has gained a following in certain cannabis communities for its potency and unique genetic background. However, due to its relative rarity compared to more mainstream strains, comprehensive information on its exact lineage and breeding history remains somewhat uncertain, with variations in reports from different sources.
