Black Gorilla

Black Gorilla is a evenly balanced hybrid (50% indica/50% sativa) strain with a character all of its own. THC testing typically lands between 22% and 28%, pairing raw strength with a 0.8% CBD content. It is sold as feminized seeds, and it remains one of the most requested cuts in its class year after year.

The Black Gorilla high balances both sides of its lineage: a happy head buzz up front, and a soothing physical warmth that follows a few minutes behind. Neither side ever overpowers the other, which is exactly why well-bred hybrids like this one earn permanent shelf space. Because of these effects, Black Gorilla is often chosen for managing chronic stress, muscle tension and mild to moderate depression, especially by those who want relief without reaching for anything heavier.

On the palate, expect earthy and pine up front, backed by an aroma that fills the room the moment the jar opens. The smoke is smooth on the inhale with a pine finish that builds the longer the session runs. This bud has dense grape-shaped bright neon green nugs, fiery orange hairs and a thick coat of frosty crystal trichomes.

For growers, Black Gorilla offers an easy, forgiving grow that suits first-time cultivators — expect plants flowering in a standard 9-10 weeks, at home indoors or outdoors. It shrugs off common beginner mistakes, and yields stay respectable even when conditions are less than perfect. Plants stretch to a medium height with strong side branching, equally at home in a tent or a garden bed. Its genetics run through the wider Gorilla family — see 517 Gorilla Glue and A1 Gorilla Ghoul for close relatives worth comparing before you buy.
