Space Gorilla
Also known as: Space Gorilla Glue, Space GG
What is the Space Gorilla strain?
Space Gorilla is a hybrid cannabis strain with up to 28.0% THC, known for its relaxed effects and citrus and diesel flavor profile.
Space Gorilla is a potent hybrid cannabis strain created by crossing two legendary strains: Gorilla Glue #4 and Space Queen. This combination brings together the powerful effects and resin production of Gorilla Glue #4 with the cerebral stimulation and unique terpene profile of Space Queen. The strain emerged in the mid-2010s as breeders sought to create a balanced hybrid with exceptional potency and complex flavor characteristics.
The strain typically produces dense, resin-coated buds with a distinctive appearance featuring dark green foliage contrasted by vibrant orange pistils. The buds are often heavily frosted with trichomes, giving them a sparkling, crystalline appearance. Space Gorilla plants tend to exhibit characteristics from both parent strains, with some phenotypes leaning slightly more toward the indica side while others show more sativa dominance.
Notable features of Space Gorilla include its exceptionally high THC content, often testing between 22-28%, and its complex terpene profile that combines earthy, diesel-like notes from its Gorilla Glue lineage with fruity, tropical undertones from the Space Queen genetics. The strain has gained popularity among both recreational users and medical cannabis patients for its balanced effects and reliable performance.

How do you grow Space Gorilla?
Space Gorilla is considered a moderately difficult strain to cultivate, making it better suited for growers with some experience. The plants typically flower in 8-10 weeks indoors and are ready for harvest by mid-October when grown outdoors. Indoor yields average 450-550 grams per square meter, while outdoor plants can produce 500-600 grams per plant under optimal conditions.
The strain performs well in both indoor and outdoor environments but thrives in controlled indoor settings where temperature and humidity can be carefully managed. Plants tend to be medium to tall in height, often reaching 120-180 cm indoors and potentially taller outdoors. Space Gorilla benefits from training techniques like topping and low-stress training to manage height and improve light penetration.
Special considerations include maintaining proper airflow to prevent mold due to the dense bud structure, and careful nutrient management as the plants can be sensitive to overfeeding. The strain produces heavy, resinous buds that may require support during late flowering stages. Growers should monitor for common cannabis pests and maintain optimal pH levels in the growing medium for best results.
