How to grow Z Gorilla
Taste
Seb's take
GG#4 Original Glue crossed with Z, an F1 that finishes in as little as sixty days despite the branching, vigorous growth the name implies. Sweet, fruity, chocolate notes on the nose; relaxed, happy, euphoric on the exhale. A short one-to-two-week vegetative stretch keeps her a manageable size before harvest. Twenty-four per cent THC.
Where it comes from
Original Sensible Seeds crossed GG#4 Original Glue with Z here — the same two lines as its cousins, arranged with the Glue as mother — for a mostly-indica F1 at 60% to 40% sativa. Being an F1, the vigour is hybrid and explosive; the record notes it as one of the fastest producers on offer, finishing in as little as 60 days. It takes the best traits of both parents and, the branching aside, wears the Gorilla name honestly.
Nose & flavour
Sweet and fruity up front, with chocolate rounding out the base — a rich, dessert-leaning nose drawn straight from the Z side of the family. The confectionery sweetness leads, the fruit lifting it, the chocolate giving it depth and body underneath. A moreish, well-arranged aromatic profile, the kind that reads more like the pudding trolley than the greenhouse, and none the worse for it.
The high
Relaxed, happy, euphoric on the exhale — a bright, easy landing that settles the body while lifting the mood. It takes after both parents in temperament, comfortable and sociable rather than flattening, the euphoria giving it a lift the indica lean might otherwise weigh down. An agreeable, all-round sort of experience. THC sits at 24%, so there is real substance behind the sweetness and the ease.
Growing it
A feminized F1 of medium stature, 100 to 160cm, with explosive, vigorous growth and a multitude of branches that want taming. Flowering is fast — 60 to 65 days, one of the quickest around — so keep the vegetative stretch short, one to two weeks, to hold her to a size suited to a large harvest. Yields are heavy at 600 g/m². The vigour and branching reward a bit of training. THC 24%. A quick, generous, hands-on grow.
