Low THCHigh THC

Gorilla Poison is lower THC than average.

Gorilla Poison is a modern autoflowering variety developed through the crossing of Ruderalis and Durban Poison. The history of this specific hybridization remains undocumented, and there is no consensus on its precise origins or the timeline of its development. As an autoflowering strain, it is designed for both indoor and outdoor cultivation, consistently maturing over an 80-day flowering period. While the strain is recognized for its ease of cultivation, growers should anticipate a low yield compared to non-autoflowering varieties.

The terpene profile of Gorilla Poison is confirmed to follow a specific hierarchy, beginning with a dominance of terpinolene, followed by myrcene, caryophyllene, limonene, and pinene. The secondary and tertiary compounds consist of linalool, humulene, bisabolol, beta-pinene, nerolidol, ocimene, guaiol, and camphene. In addition to this aromatic complexity, the strain features an estimated THC content of approximately 11.7 percent. This chemical composition contributes to an experience defined by a balanced sensory profile, rooted in the primary influence of terpinolene and supported by the structural nuance of the remaining listed terpenes.

Users typically report that Gorilla Poison produces effects that are relaxed, happy, and uplifted. These characteristics make it a functional choice for those seeking relief from stress or mild pain, and some individuals find the experience conducive to sleep. There are no notable offspring recorded for this strain, marking it as a distinct genetic end-point within the current botanical catalogue. It occupies a niche for cultivators prioritizing ease of growth and a manageable, lower-potency profile.
