Seb's take

Seb Silverback

GG#4 Original Glue and Papa's Candy combine in Gorilla Candy, a plant so resinous it will gum up your scissors come harvest. The aroma is intense and sweet, the effect powerful, and production high enough at 18.5-23% THC to justify a permanent spot in the garden.

Where it comes from

Eva Seeds crossed GG#4 Original Glue with Papa's Candy to make this plant, the record putting her at 75 per cent indica. The Glue lends the resin and the weight, Papa's Candy the sweeter character its name promises. The record keeps the lineage to those two and speaks warmly of the result: an extremely resinous plant with a high production, the sort, it suggests, you should always keep in the garden. A tidy, well-regarded pairing.

Nose & flavour

The record describes an intense and sweet aroma, and leaves the detail there rather than cataloguing it, so I will not embroider beyond what it gives. The Papa's Candy parent is where that sweetness comes from, set against the resinous Glue backbone. It is, by the record's account, a loud and confectioner's nose rather than a subtle one. On the finer notes, the record keeps its counsel.

The high

The record calls the effect simply powerful, and declines to break it down further, so I will not invent a catalogue it does not supply. What it does establish is the strength: an indica-dominant plant at 18.5 to 23 per cent THC, with a punch to match the resin. The particulars it leaves to the smoker; the tenor, though, is clear enough. Approach the first session with a measure of care.

Growing it

A quick and generous grow. Flowering finishes fast, in 45 to 55 days, on a compact medium plant of 80 to 100cm, returning 550 to 600 g/m², which is a fine haul for the short calendar and modest stature. THC is recorded at 18.5 to 23 per cent. She is extremely resinous, the record notes, so she will gum up your scissors come harvest; keep them clean. A rewarding plant, and easy to see why it earns a permanent spot.
