About Black Gorilla
Black Gorilla is an indica-dominant hybrid bred for dense, sticky buds and strong resin output. It combines a potent THC profile with earthy, diesel and chocolate flavours and performs well both indoors and outdoors when humidity is controlled.
Black Gorilla is an indica-dominant hybrid with dense, resinous buds. The plant produces substantial leaf mass and a pronounced central cola.
THC typically measures between 18% and 22% by dry weight. This level produces clear psychoactive effects that can be strong for inexperienced users.
CBD levels are low, generally below 1%. The low CBD emphasises the THC-driven character rather than a balanced cannabinoid profile.
Black Gorilla descends from Gorilla Glue x Black Domina. The cross brings heavy resin production together with darker, rich aromatics.
Seeds are most commonly offered as feminized to ensure flower-producing plants. Regular seed lots may be available from specialist breeders for preservation or breeding purposes.
Growing Black Gorilla in Hampshire's humid greenhouse conditions requires vigilant mould prevention and good airflow. The strain is intermediate in difficulty and benefits from regular defoliation and environmental control.
Flowering usually completes in eight to ten weeks under stable light schedules. Outdoor growers should expect harvest towards late September or early October in Hampshire.
Yield potential is high when plants receive adequate nutrients and humidity control. Even in Hampshire's damp seasons the strain can produce strong yields if rot is prevented.
Plants develop a medium-tall structure with a sturdy main stem and lateral branching. Outdoors the cultivar commonly reaches between 1.5 and 2.5 metres in a fertile Hampshire plot.
Indoors, Black Gorilla responds well to SCROG and topping to control stretch in Hampshire grow spaces. Outdoors in Hampshire the plants stretch more and need staking and vigilant mould checks during humid spells.
Growing Black Gorilla in Hampshire with humid greenhouse conditions demands strict humidity control and excellent ventilation. The strain tolerates warmth but rewards growers who use dehumidifiers and maintain rigorous hygiene.
The high-THC profile delivers heavy body relaxation that eases muscle tension. An initial cerebral uplift can give way to drowsiness as the session progresses.
Flavours are primarily earthy and diesel with a sweet chocolate afternote. A resinous bitterness lingers on the palate after each draw.
Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions about this strain, covering growth, effects, and suitability for UK conditions.
Yes — Black Gorilla can be grown outdoors in the UK, but outdoor cannabis cultivation in humid areas requires careful humidity management to prevent bud rot.
Harvest is typically late September to early October in Hampshire, depending on microclimate and seasonal variation in ripening.
Prevent mould by improving airflow, reducing humidity during late flowering, removing lower foliage, and monitoring trichome development closely.
Feed with a balanced NPK regime during veg and a higher phosphorus/potassium mix in flower; adjust to plant response and avoid over-fertilisation.
Yes, indoors Black Gorilla performs well under controlled conditions and responds favourably to SCROG and training techniques to manage height.
Aphids, spider mites and fungus gnats can be issues; integrated pest management and regular inspections help keep populations low.
Dry slowly at 18-21°C with 45-55% RH for around 7-10 days, then cure in jars with daily burping for the first two weeks to improve flavour and smoothness.
Yes, the strain produces heavy resin and sticky buds, making it suitable for extract production if that is your aim.
Feminized seeds are commonly available to ensure predominantly female, flower-producing plants.
Flowering is relatively predictable at 8-10 weeks, but outdoor growers should watch trichome colour rather than calendar dates for ideal harvest timing.
