Grand Daddy Gorilla
Also known as: Grand Daddy Gorilla Glue, GDG
Grand Daddy Gorilla Strain Overview
Grand Daddy Gorilla is a potent hybrid cannabis strain that represents a cross between two legendary strains: Granddaddy Purple and Gorilla Glue #4. This combination brings together the deeply relaxing indica effects of Granddaddy Purple with the powerful, sticky resin production and cerebral stimulation of Gorilla Glue #4. The strain emerged in the mid-2010s as breeders sought to combine the best traits of these two popular varieties, creating a cultivar that has gained significant recognition in both medical and recreational cannabis communities.
The plant typically displays dense, chunky buds with a distinctive appearance featuring deep purple hues inherited from its Granddaddy Purple parentage, often contrasted by vibrant orange pistils. The buds are exceptionally resinous, coated in a thick layer of trichomes that gives them a frosty, sticky texture reminiscent of Gorilla Glue #4. The coloration can vary depending on growing conditions, with cooler temperatures during flowering often enhancing the purple pigmentation. The strain's visual appeal is matched by its complex aromatic profile.
Grand Daddy Gorilla is noted for its balanced effects that begin with cerebral stimulation before transitioning to full-body relaxation. The strain has gained particular attention for its high THC content and therapeutic potential, though users should approach it with caution due to its potency. Its popularity has grown steadily since its introduction, though it remains less widely available than its parent strains in some markets.

Grand Daddy Gorilla Strain Growing Information
Grand Daddy Gorilla is considered a moderately difficult strain to cultivate, requiring some experience for optimal results. The plants typically flower in 8-10 weeks indoors, with outdoor harvests ready around mid-October in the Northern Hemisphere. Indoor yields are substantial, averaging 450-550 grams per square meter, while outdoor plants can produce 500-600 grams per plant under ideal conditions. The strain thrives in both indoor and outdoor environments but prefers a controlled indoor setting where temperature can be managed to enhance coloration. Plants tend to be medium to tall in height, often requiring some height management techniques. Special considerations include maintaining proper humidity control during flowering to prevent mold in the dense buds, providing adequate support for heavy colas, and implementing temperature drops during late flowering to encourage purple coloration. The strain responds well to most training techniques including topping and low-stress training.
