How to grow Gorilla
Taste
Seb's take
Chocolate Diesel, Chem Sister and Sour Dubb combine in Gorilla, and the aromatic profile is intense — earthy, acidic, pungent, woodsy and diesel beneath the creamy, fruity top notes. At 25% THC the effect is strongly sedative, easing into euphoria, sociability and a lasting body relax.
Where it comes from
Dinafem Seeds built this from three American names, Chocolate Diesel, Chem Sister and Sour Dubb, arriving at a plant the record puts at 60 per cent indica. Chocolate Diesel lends the sweeter, fuel-tinged top note, Chem Sister and Sour Dubb the funk and the resin. It is a considered, pungent lineage rather than a gentle one, three loud parents talked into one very aromatic whole. The record keeps the parentage to those three, which is quite enough character between them.
Nose & flavour
A very intense profile, and the record does not undersell it: an earthy, acidic undertone that cannot quite disguise the pungent, woodsy, diesel smell riding over it. Creamy and fruity notes soften the top, with nutty, peppery and sour edges filling out the middle. It is a busy, loud aroma, more workshop than orchard, and it does not travel discreetly. A great deal going on, and none of it shy.
The high
At 25 per cent THC the record describes a strongly sedative effect, so this is firmly the sitting-down sort. Around that weight run euphoria, a sociable good humour and a tingly, uplifting edge, keeping the mood bright even as the body settles. A heavy high, then, but a companionable one rather than a purely flattening one. Best saved for an evening with nothing left on the agenda.
Growing it
Mind the height on this one: the record has her reaching 300cm, so she is emphatically the outdoor or tall-tent sort, and wants the headroom given rather than fought over. Flowering runs 58 to 63 days, returning 500 g/m². THC is recorded at 25 per cent. Standard in her demands otherwise, but that stature is the defining feature: give her the sky, or plan your training early. A big, aromatic plant with a serious finish.
