Gorilla Tape is a modern, hybrid-indica strain created through a complex genetic lineage that combines Ghost Train Haze #2, A-Dub, Shaman, and Golden Triangle. This multifaceted crossing has resulted in a robust cultivar that demands moderate growing expertise. Suited for both indoor and outdoor environments, the plant maintains a high yield potential and completes its flowering cycle within 60 days. The genetic stability of this strain is further evidenced by its status as the parent of the offspring known as Cheesy Mix Tape.
The chemical profile of Gorilla Tape is exceptionally diverse, led by a dominant presence of myrcene, followed by terpinolene, limonene, and caryophyllene. This complex assembly continues with secondary and tertiary contributions from ocimene, beta-pinene, pinene, linalool, guaiol, and nerolidol, rounded out by trace amounts of humulene, bisabolol, caryophyllene-oxide, eucalyptol, and p-cymene. This specific arrangement of terpenes defines the sensory experience, offering a layered aromatic and flavor profile that reflects the wide range of inputs from its parent strains.
As a THC-dominant cultivar, Gorilla Tape is sought after for its ability to produce effects characterized by deep relaxation, calm, and focused mental clarity. These properties make it a functional yet soothing choice for users managing pain, stress, or difficulties with sleep. Its reliable, balanced impact has solidified its place as a valued modern hybrid, contributing its distinctive traits to its notable genetic descendants within the broader cannabis landscape.
