Z Gorilla
Also known as: Z Gorilla Glue, Zkittlez Gorilla
Z Gorilla Strain Overview
Z Gorilla is a modern hybrid cannabis strain created by crossing two popular contemporary varieties: Zkittlez and Gorilla Glue #4. This combination brings together the candy-like sweetness and relaxing effects of Zkittlez with the potent, resinous characteristics of Gorilla Glue #4. The strain emerged in the late 2010s as breeders sought to combine the best traits of these award-winning parent strains, creating a cultivar that appeals to both recreational users and medical cannabis patients.
The strain typically produces dense, chunky buds with a frosty trichome coverage that gives them a silver-white appearance. The nugs often display a mix of deep green and purple hues, with vibrant orange pistils weaving through the dense flower structure. Z Gorilla is known for its exceptionally sticky resin production, a trait inherited from its Gorilla Glue #4 parentage, which can make trimming and handling somewhat challenging but contributes to its potency.
Notable features include its complex aroma profile that combines sweet, fruity notes with earthy, diesel undertones. The strain has gained popularity in both the medical and recreational cannabis markets for its balanced effects and appealing flavor profile. While not as widely documented as its parent strains, Z Gorilla has developed a dedicated following among cannabis enthusiasts who appreciate its combination of recreational appeal and potential therapeutic benefits.

Z Gorilla Strain Growing Information
Z Gorilla is considered a moderate-difficulty strain to cultivate, suitable for growers with some experience. The plants typically flower in 8-10 weeks indoors, with outdoor harvests occurring in late September to early October in northern hemisphere climates. Indoor yields are generally good, producing approximately 400-500 grams per square meter, while outdoor plants can yield 500-600 grams per plant under optimal conditions.
The strain prefers a controlled indoor environment but can also thrive outdoors in warm, Mediterranean-like climates. Plants tend to be medium in height, usually reaching 100-150 cm indoors and up to 200 cm outdoors. Special considerations include providing adequate support for the dense, heavy buds and maintaining proper humidity control during flowering to prevent mold. The strain responds well to training techniques like topping and low-stress training (LST) to maximize yields. Growers should be prepared for the extremely sticky resin production, which can make trimming challenging but rewarding for extract production.
