Royal Queen Seeds – Royal Gorilla: Super-Potent Legend From the US

It doesn’t always happen that new strains from the US come across the pond and then make cannabis enthusiasts here in Europe as excited as we’ve seen with Gorilla Glue. This hybrid made already waves in the States where it reached outright legendary status shortly after her discovery which by the way was entirely coincidental and somewhat curious.

Over at Barney's Farm, Critical Kush holds down the Kush end of the trophy cabinet with heavy indica calm.

As the story goes, Gorilla Glue owes her discovery to two breeders, Joesy Whales and Lone Watie from the US. What happened is that Joesy’s Chem Sis accidently hermied and pollinated his Sour Dubb, something which is otherwise a disaster should it happen to cannabis breeders. For reasons that we’ll likely never know (call it Karma, divine intervention or simply incredible luck), Lonie kept some of the “spoiled” seeds when Joesy tossed out the plant. Possibly out of sheer curiosity and not expecting anything, Lonie later germinated some of the seeds and what was sprouting to the light was - who would have thought? - one of the most spectacular strains of the recent years: Gorilla Glue, or in our case, Royal Queen Seeds’ version of it, Royal Gorilla, was born!

Like any serious breeders would do, the first thing that Lonie and Joesy did was sending the new strain to the lab for some measurements. Their jaws dropped when the first results came in. The Royal Gorilla measured a staggering average THC content of 24-26% through the bank, with some of the strain’s phenos even exceeding this and at time reaching an outright insane 30%, a THC potency which up until that date had never been measured before.

But it wasn’t just the Gorilla’s crazy-high THC content which made it clear to anyone that they had a really outstanding new hybrid before them. Any time they handled her, the two kept sticking to everything because of the strain’s crazy resin production and this is where they came up with the name for the strain and fittingly called her “Gorilla Glue”. Yet another interpretation for her name can be that it also nicely describes her extremely relaxing body stone and how she can “glue” you to your couch in deep relaxation although her high comes also with a nicely complementing euphoria.

Royal Gorilla may not necessarily win prizes when it comes to yield numbers but this is easily forgotten since she makes well up for it with the outstanding quality of her buds. As the saying goes: “Quality before Quantity”! And to get this first-class extremely potent bud it doesn’t even require any special skills. You can grow Royal Gorilla everywhere, indoors or outdoors and if you do you can look forward to some massively-sized buds on a gorgeous plant with wonderful lime-green leaves. The plant will sparkle in the sun because of the sheer amount of sticky trichomes all over. This 50% Indica/Sativa can yield up to 550/m² when you grow her indoors with yields of up to 600g per plant if you grow her outdoors.

As we mentioned already, the Royal Gorilla brings some crazy THC content of 24%-26% to the table but you shouldn’t be be surprised if some plants may even surpass this and come close to 30% given the right care when you grow her. This is a very powerful Indica/Sativa hybrid with an effect that is incredibly relaxing which makes Royal Gorilla a perfect plant for stress relief or if you simply want to chill. But unlike as with other high THC strains, she doesn’t just knock you out and keeps you stoned for the rest of the day. What’s special about her is that her relaxing effect also comes with a greatly uplifting and happy euphoria.

Because of her sheer potency, Royal Gorilla is also a good strain for medicinal users who want some potent and effective medicine that can help with the management of a variety of symptoms such as chronic pains, insomnia and many more ailments.

Royal Gorilla’s taste nicely blends earthy and sweet flavour notes with lemon and pine tones. When you smoke her she makes for a smooth and highly enjoyable experience - an absolute delight for any serious cannabis connoisseur!

Her potency, along with her good resin production and the great taste are among the reasons that Gorilla Glue won already numerous awards, including at the 2014 Cannabis Cup and the 2015 World Cannabis Cup where she won first place as the best hybrid.

Plant some seeds and join the many fans of Royal Gorilla everywhere. One thing is for sure, this spectacular hybrid is absolutely worth growing!
