Afghan Gorilla

Afghan Gorilla is a indica dominant hybrid (60% indica/40% sativa) strain with a character all of its own. This well-regarded bud boasts a THC level that ranges from 12-18% on average, with 0.7% CBD. It is sold as regular seeds, and it remains one of the most requested cuts in its class year after year.

The Afghan Gorilla high creeps in gently before wrapping the whole body in heavy relaxation — expect softened shoulders, slowed thoughts and a warm couch-lock that deepens as the session goes on. Even at its heaviest, a quiet euphoria hums in the background, keeping the experience warm rather than sedating from the first hit. These combined effects make Afghan Gorilla a frequent pick among patients dealing with chronic stress, muscle tension and insomnia and other sleep disorders, and a reliable standby for anyone medicating on a schedule.

On the palate, expect earthy up front, backed by an aroma that fills the room the moment the jar opens. Each exhale leaves a earthy-tinged aftertaste that keeps you coming back for one more taste. This bud has compact rounded dense green nugs with rich blue-purple undertones, fiery orange hairs and a sticky layer of golden-white trichomes.

For growers, Afghan Gorilla offers a manageable grow for anyone with a harvest or two behind them — expect plants flowering in around 8 weeks, at home in controlled indoor setups. Given steady feeding and a little light training, it rewards the effort with heavy, resin-coated colas. Plants stay compact enough for tents and small rooms, which makes canopy management straightforward. Its genetics run through the wider Afghan family — see Purple Afghan Kush and Purple Afghan Kush Lime Green for close relatives worth comparing before you buy.
