What is the Platinum Gorilla strain?
Platinum Gorilla is a hybrid cannabis strain with up to 28.0% THC, known for its sleepy effects and chocolate and diesel flavor profile.
Platinum Gorilla is an indica-dominant hybrid weed strain made from a genetic cross between Platinum Kush and GG4. This strain is 70% indica and 30% sativa. Developed by In House Genetics, this strain stands as a testament to the potential locked within indica-dominant genetics when nurtured with precision and care. Platinum Gorilla Glue is a close relative to the hugely popular Gorilla Glue #4. Bred in Colorado, the inclusion of Platinum Kush genetics helped produce a deeper body high, which became a treat for those who enjoy the intensity of the original but tend to favor it's indica aspects.
The buds are dense and spongy with bright green coloration featuring purple hues and tiny orange hairs. The strain is highly resinous, which may make it a challenge to work with, especially if you're a newbie in weed. Trichome crystals are highly apparent and the buds are cemented together with a hefty layer of golden trichomes that coat the entirety of the bud. This is a pleasantly smoky strain, with a high THC level and a very intense relaxing effect not suitable for beginners. The strain continues to influence both recreational and medicinal markets, offering effective solutions for pain management, sleep disorders, and stress relief.
