Breeders used Forum Cookies S1 to create Royal Cookies
Royal Gorilla is without a doubt one of the most talked about cannabis strains to come out of the United States in a long time, where it has quickly made a name for itself as a connoisseur's favorite. However, their discovery was purely accidental. Two breeders from the US, Joesy Whales and Lone Watie, discovered the strain after Joesy's Chem Sis plants accidentally became hermaphrodite and pollinated his Sour Dubb. We don't know what exactly led Lone to keep some of the seeds after Joesy threw the varieties away. But we know that Lone germinated them later, perhaps simply out of curiosity. Nothing other than the spectacular Royal Gorilla shot out of the ground!
Genetics and potency
The two passionate breeders knew immediately that they had created something very special. Their first THC measurement blew them away. As if a staggering THC level of 24-26% wasn't high enough, some of her phenotypes boast an incredible THC level of 30%! To date, this has never been measured for a variety.
The official story behind Gorilla Glue's name goes as follows: The breeders chose the name because the strain's resin production is so crazy that the two breeders stuck to everything after they got theirs new creation. But given the super relaxing effect of the Royal Gorilla, the name also fits perfectly with its deeply restorative, physical relaxation that will "glue" you to your couch. However, the high is accompanied by an uplifting euphoria, so its effects are fantastically balanced.
Yield and growth behavior
Royal Gorilla is not a strain you choose for its yields. These are pretty moderate - the focus here is on the quality of the flowers and not the quantity. You can grow Royal Gorilla indoors and outdoors where it will develop massive flowers that will have wonderful, lime green leaves. Thanks to her strong resin production, her leaves are covered with an abundance of trichomes that glitter beautifully in the sun!
Effects
Some Royal Gorilla plants average THC levels of 24-26%, but some phenotypes have the ability to exceed this when grown expertly. It produces very potent effects that are extremely relaxing - excellent for relaxation and stress relief. What makes Royal Gorilla's high so special is that the relaxing effects are balanced with an uplifting and happy high. Its potency makes Royal Gorilla a good strain for medicinal users who want a powerful herb that can help them manage their symptoms.
Royal Gorilla is a balanced cross of 50% indica and 50% sativa. It has lovely earthy and sweet notes complemented by additional notes of lemon and pine. This guarantees a great tasting smoke that won't disappoint even the pickiest cannabis connoisseurs.
This strain has already won several awards; such as the Cannabis Cup in 2014 and the World Cannabis Cup in 2015, where she won first place in the best hybrid category.
In case it's still not clear, the Royal Gorilla is a truly outstanding hybrid with fans all over the world. It's worth every producer's time!
