Trippy Gorilla
Also known as: Trip Gorilla, Gorilla Trip
Trippy Gorilla Strain Overview
Trippy Gorilla is a potent hybrid cannabis strain that emerged in the late 2010s, representing a cross between two highly regarded modern cultivars. The strain combines the cerebral, psychedelic effects of its sativa-dominant parent with the physical relaxation and resin production of its indica-dominant parent. Breeders sought to create a strain that would deliver both intense psychoactive experiences and therapeutic benefits, resulting in this balanced hybrid that has gained popularity among experienced cannabis consumers.
The strain's appearance is characterized by dense, chunky buds with a forest green color palette accented by vibrant orange pistils. A thick coating of trichomes gives the flowers a frosty, crystalline appearance that hints at its high cannabinoid content. The buds are typically medium to large in size with a tight, indica-like structure, though some phenotypes may exhibit more sativa-leaning growth patterns. The strain's name references both its potent psychoactive effects and its genetic connection to the Gorilla family of strains.
Trippy Gorilla is noted for its complex aromatic profile and powerful effects that evolve throughout the experience. The strain has gained particular attention in medical cannabis communities for its reported therapeutic potential, though recreational users also appreciate its balanced high. As with many modern hybrid strains, Trippy Gorilla exhibits some phenotypic variation, meaning individual plants may express different characteristics depending on growing conditions and genetic expression.

Trippy Gorilla Strain Growing Information
Trippy Gorilla is considered a moderate-difficulty strain to cultivate, requiring some experience to maximize its potential. The plants typically flower in 8-10 weeks indoors, with outdoor harvests occurring in mid to late October in northern hemisphere climates. Indoor yields are substantial, often producing 450-550 grams per square meter, while outdoor plants can yield 500-700 grams per plant under optimal conditions. The strain prefers a controlled indoor environment but can also thrive outdoors in Mediterranean-like climates with consistent temperatures. Plants tend to be medium in height with a bushy structure, requiring some training and pruning to ensure proper light penetration and air circulation. Growers should monitor humidity levels carefully during flowering to prevent mold, as the dense buds are susceptible to moisture-related issues. Nutrient requirements are moderate to high, with particular attention needed during the flowering phase to support resin production.
