How to grow Gorilla Breath
Taste
Seb's take
GG4 and OGKB meet in Gorilla Breath, a strain young enough to still be finding its feet yet already spoken of as legend among West Coast growers. Pine, diesel and chocolate on the nose; the high is relaxed, happy and euphoric at a formidable 27% THC. Reputation earned quickly, it seems.
Where it comes from
GG4 and OGKB meet in Gorilla Breath, a Humboldt Seeds Organization line young enough, the record notes, to still be finding its feet, yet already spoken of as legend among West Coast growers. The record credits Humboldt with taking the best varieties the US West Coast had to offer to breed a plant of this potency and flavour. The record puts her at 80 per cent indica. Reputation earned quickly, it seems, and honestly.
Nose & flavour
Pine leads the nose, sharp and green, with a diesel weight sitting beneath it and a chocolate richness rounding the finish. It is a serious, layered profile, the fuel-and-pine base grounded by that sweeter chocolate note, exactly the sort of flavour the record says Humboldt were chasing. A characterful aroma, and a fair match for the pedigree behind it. Loud, but never crude.
The high
Relaxed, happy and euphoric, an agreeable and settling spread at a formidable 27 per cent THC. The indica dominance shows through in the body weight, while the euphoria keeps the mood bright rather than merely heavy. A comfortable, companionable high, then, though the potency means the first measure is best kept modest. Best saved for an evening with nothing further on it.
Growing it
Mind the stature: the record has her reaching 300 to 400cm, so she is emphatically the outdoor or greenhouse sort, and wants the sky given rather than fought over. Flowering runs 65 to 70 days, returning 450 to 600 g/m². THC is recorded at 27 per cent, with the record's own range noting 25 to 27, and a low 0.1 per cent CBD. A big, aromatic plant with a serious finish; plan the space, or plan the training, well in advance.
