Cannabis seed variety Gorilla #5

Gorilla #5 – The Sticky Monster with a Cosmic Trip

Origin and Genetics

Gorilla #5 is a titan among indica-dominant strains, combining Afghan, Colombian, and Mexican genetics. Created by crossing the legendary Gorilla Glue with a potent Afghan indica, this strain boasts an incredible THC level of 29%, making it one of the strongest hybrids in the cannabis world.

Genetic Profile:

• Afghanistan – contributes a deep, body-melting stone and high resin production.
• Colombia – adds a touch of uplifting sativa effects for a short-lived euphoric wave before full relaxation.
• Mexico – enhances the plant’s resilience to climate changes and enriches its aroma.

As a 70% indica / 30% sativa hybrid, Gorilla #5 delivers a powerful physical high combined with a deep mental effect.

Appearance

Gorilla #5 is a resin-dripping beast. Its buds look as if they’ve been drenched in sticky trichomes.

• Height: 140–175 cm.
• Buds: Large, dense, and coated in such a thick layer of trichomes that they appear almost white.
• Leaves: Dark green with hints of purple.
• Aroma: During flowering, expect a strong, fruity, caramel-like scent with coffee undertones.

Flowering and Yield

• Flowering time: 63 days.
• Yield: 700–1000 g/m².
• Outdoor harvest time: Mid-September.

Gorilla #5 thrives both indoors and outdoors, but it reaches its full potential in sunny climates. It is heat-resistant but requires ample lighting and frequent watering for the best results.

Growing Tips:

• Heavy buds require support.
• Responds well to LST and SCROG techniques to maximize yield.
• Emits a strong aroma during flowering, so a carbon filter is recommended for indoor grows.
• If September remains warm, delaying harvest can result in even larger buds.
