Genetics by Bean Breeder Genetics
Cherry Gorilla, a well-rounded hybrid strain, emerges from the deliberate crossing of Gorilla Glue #4 with Black Cherry Pie, inheriting a rich genetic tapestry that encapsulates the essential attributes of both Sativa and Indica lineages. This calculated hybridization results in a strain that offers a 50/50 Sativa to Indica ratio, providing a versatile profile that appeals to a wide array of cannabis consumers. The parent strains themselves are remarkable: Gorilla Glue #4 is famed for its potent effects and earthy, pungent aroma, while Black Cherry Pie is distinguished by its fruity profile and relaxing qualities.
The genetic intermingling in Cherry Gorilla has crafted a strain that uniquely embodies the best of both worlds—offering cerebral stimulation typical of Sativa strains alongside the soothing, body-centric effects characteristic of Indicas. This makes it particularly effective for medicinal users seeking relief from a range of symptoms including chronic pain, depression, and fatigue without heavy sedation. The balanced genetic composition also ensures a broad appeal, providing enjoyable experiences for both novice and experienced users, solidifying Cherry Gorilla’s place in the diverse cannabis market.
THC/CBD Content
The THC content in the Cherry Gorilla strain typically ranges from 17% to 26.66%, showcasing a higher potency level than many other cannabis varieties. This considerable range indicates that Cherry Gorilla can vary significantly in its effects, depending on cultivation methods and specific phenotypes. Remarkably, the upper limit of this THC potency places Cherry Gorilla among the more potent hybrid strains available in the market, suitable for experienced users seeking a robust psychoactive experience.
Grow Information
Suitable for both indoor and outdoor settings, the Cherry Gorilla strain exhibits a flexible cultivation profile with a flowering period of approximately 8-9 weeks when grown indoors. Indoor cultivation allows for a controlled environment, optimizing the growth conditions to enhance the strain’s yield and quality. For those opting for indoor cultivation, implementing a hydroponics system can further increase yield efficiency by providing nutrients directly to the roots and eliminating soil-based constraints.
When growing Cherry Gorilla outdoors, timing the harvest is essential. The ideal window typically falls between late September and early October, which is when the buds reach their peak potency. This strain prefers a warm, Mediterranean-like climate, characterized by hot, dry summers and mild winters. Such conditions mimic its native environment, promoting vigorous growth and resin production.
For both indoor and outdoor cultivation, Cherry Gorilla requires attentive care, particularly in managing humidity levels to prevent mold and pest infestations. Regular pruning will also improve air circulation and light exposure, essential for healthy growth. When nurtured with expertise, growers can anticipate medium to high yields, making Cherry Gorilla a rewarding choice for both novice and experienced cultivators.
