Purple Gorillas
Also known as: Purple Gorilla, Gorilla Purple
What is the Purple Gorillas strain?
Purple Gorillas is a hybrid cannabis strain with up to 24.0% THC, known for its relaxed effects and berry and diesel flavor profile.
Purple Gorillas is a relatively modern hybrid cannabis strain that has gained popularity among enthusiasts for its balanced effects and distinctive appearance. The strain was developed by crossing two well-known varieties: Gorilla Glue #4 and Purple Punch. This genetic combination brings together the potent, resinous characteristics of Gorilla Glue #4 with the colorful aesthetics and sweet flavor profile of Purple Punch. The strain emerged in the late 2010s as breeders sought to create a visually striking hybrid with reliable effects.
The plant typically displays dense, chunky buds that exhibit a striking color palette ranging from deep forest green to vibrant purple hues, often accentuated by bright orange pistils and a generous coating of trichomes. The purple coloration is more pronounced when plants experience cooler temperatures during the flowering phase, a characteristic inherited from its Purple Punch lineage. The strain's name reflects both its genetic heritage and its visual presentation, with 'Gorillas' referencing the Gorilla Glue parent and 'Purple' describing the prominent coloration.
Purple Gorillas is noted for its complex aromatic profile that combines earthy, diesel-like notes from its Gorilla Glue ancestry with sweet, berry-forward undertones from Purple Punch. The strain has gained recognition in both recreational and medicinal cannabis communities for its versatile effects and reliable performance. While not as widely documented as some classic strains, Purple Gorillas has established a presence in dispensaries and cultivation circles, particularly in North American markets where its parent strains enjoy significant popularity.

How do you grow Purple Gorillas?
Purple Gorillas is considered a moderate-difficulty strain suitable for growers with some experience. The plants typically flower in 8-9 weeks indoors and are ready for harvest by early to mid-October outdoors. Indoor yields average 400-500 grams per square meter, while outdoor plants can produce 500-600 grams per plant under optimal conditions. The strain adapts well to both indoor and outdoor cultivation but thrives in controlled environments where temperature can be manipulated to enhance purple coloration. Plants tend to remain medium in height (3-5 feet indoors, 4-6 feet outdoors) with a bushy structure that benefits from pruning and training techniques like topping or low-stress training. Special considerations include maintaining stable temperatures during flowering (with cooler nights to encourage purple pigmentation) and monitoring for mold in dense bud structures due to the strain's resin production.
