Genetics: Gorilla Glue — one of the most influential American lines

Gorila by Pyramid Seeds is built on the Gorilla Glue genetics — one of the best-known and most awarded American cannabis lines of recent decades. The parent strains Chem Sis and Sour Dubb are both derived from the legendary Chemdawg line — known for exceptionally high THC, sticky resin production and a complex chemical-citrus terpene profile. The original Gorilla Glue #4 (also known as GG4 or Original Glue) earned its name from resin so sticky it glued trimming scissors together at harvest.

Pyramid Seeds feminized this genetics and stabilised it for European growing conditions: a shorter flowering time (49–56 days LED), higher tolerance to climate swings and consistent phenotypes — while fully preserving the characteristic Gorilla Glue profile. If you are looking for seeds from the Gorilla Glue #4 (GG4) line in a feminized, stabilised form, Gorila is our take on that iconic American strain. The full story of the strain — its origin, effects, THC and whether it is indica or sativa — is in our Gorilla Glue strain guide.

Gorila THC content

With 25–27% THC, Gorila has one of the highest values in our American Strains catalogue. This high THC content is inherited from the Chemdawg line that both parent strains trace back to. At this potency the strain is aimed primarily at experienced users — beginners should take its strength into account.

Gorilla Glue strain effects

The Gorila effect is balanced — neither purely sativa nor heavily sedating, but a harmonious interplay of both poles:

• Euphoria — an elevated mood, positive energy at the onset
• Focus and creativity — a clear head, mental activity at moderate doses
• Physical relaxation — gentle muscle relaxation without couch-lock
• Stress relief — releases mental and physical tension
• Flexible use — day and evening, social situations and creative moments

Aroma and terpene profile

Gorila carries the characteristic Gorilla Glue aroma profile: dominant citrus notes, fresh pine resin and an earthy base with sweet accents. Resin production is exceptionally dense — the sticky, heavy flowers that gave the strain its name.

Gorila for extraction and resin production

The Gorilla Glue genetics is famous for its exceptional stickiness — dense trichome layers that literally glue scissors and hands together. This property makes Gorila one of the best starting materials for:

• BHO and rosin — very high resin content, excellent yield
• Bubble hash — dense trichome heads, easily separated
• Dry sift / kief — even, mature trichomes

Growing — indoor and outdoor

Indoor growing

Flowering time 49–56 days under LED (HPS: 53–63 days). Yield: 400 g/m² standard, up to 850–900 g/1.5 m² with a 720 W LED. Easy difficulty — tolerant of pH swings and feeding mistakes. LST and SCROG recommended for maximum light use. Because of the dense resin production, good air circulation matters.

Outdoor growing: UK, Europe, USA and Canada

Harvest in September in the northern hemisphere. 750 g – 1 kg per plant. Robust genetics, well suited to various climate zones. As a photoperiod strain, Gorila is planted out once the risk of frost has passed and starts flowering when the days shorten in late summer.

• Short seasons — the UK, northern and central Europe, Canada and the northern US: a September finish usually beats the autumn weather, but the dense, resin-heavy buds need airflow, so a sunny, sheltered spot, a greenhouse or a polytunnel pays off in a wet late summer.
• Long seasons — southern Europe, California and the southern US: plenty of light and warmth let the plant reach its full size and the upper end of the 750 g – 1 kg range.
