Sour Gorilla Strain Information
This strain is made out of the breeds of Sour Diesel and Gorilla Glue #4, causing the new offspring to have a taste with a doubled effect in terms of flavors and effects compared to the two single plants. This one is composed of 35% of Sativa and 65% of Indica, which makes it an Indica-dominant hybrid strain. Basically, the cannabidiol (CBD) level found in Sour Gorilla is quite low at only 1%, but the tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) concentration found in its trichomes and sticky resin is quite high to have an average THC of 15%.Â
Once taken, the user would experience the overpowering flavor of lemon, and at the same time, the biting hint of fuel, which is very evident in its parent strain Sour Diesel. Sour Gorilla has a striking appearance, and towards the end of flowering, it will produce chunky buds covered in sticky resin and vibrant-colored orange pistils. This plant has a high yield and can be grown both indoors and outdoors.

You can drop it by five degrees as the weed enters the blooming phase. Keep the relative humidity (RH) level at 60% from the beginning, and lower it to 45% during the flowering stage and the strain grows so fast, you need to prune your plants regularly.
