What is the Black Gorilla strain?
Black Gorilla is an indica-dominant hybrid (about 60% indica) bred by Farmhouse Genetics from Gorilla Glue #4 and a Brightberry male. AllBud lists it at 25–32% THC, and the breeder says it flowers early, in 55 to 63 days, with big yields. Users report a heavy, sleepy body high and a sweet berry, chocolate and diesel aroma.
Ratio from AllBud; SeedFinder's Farmhouse Genetics entry gives the same 60% indica lean.
The breeder puts Black Gorilla's bloom at 55 to 63 days, a week or more ahead of the 8–10 weeks often listed for Gorilla Glue #4.
Black Gorilla strain specs
Black Gorilla's numbers come from Farmhouse Genetics' notes as recorded on SeedFinder, plus AllBud's strain profile. No breeder publishes a measured height or a yield in grams, and no lab terpene profile is public, so those rows describe what is known and flag what is inferred.

Where does the Black Gorilla strain come from?
Black Gorilla was bred by Farmhouse Genetics, which crossed Gorilla Glue #4 with its own Brightberry male. In the breeder's notes on SeedFinder, Brightberry is described as Blackberry Kush × Northern Lights × GSC, using a forum cut of Girl Scout Cookies. Gorilla Glue #4 brings the resin, yield and potency it is known for, and Brightberry's Blackberry Kush side is the likely source of the berry notes and the heavier indica body.
SeedFinder lists the original Farmhouse release as regular seed only, and AllBud spells the father Bright Berry, describing that plant as Blackberry Kush × Bright Cookies. These feminized seeds keep the same Gorilla Glue #4 × Brightberry pairing but grow only female plants. The breeder doesn't explain the name Black Gorilla, and other growers have used it for different Gorilla Glue crosses, so it pays to check the listed genetics rather than the name alone.
Is Black Gorilla the same as Gorilla Glue?
No, Black Gorilla is a cross that uses Gorilla Glue #4 as one parent, not another name for it. Gorilla Glue #4 is a Chem's Sister × Sour Dubb × Chocolate Diesel hybrid known for earthy, piney fuel and heavy resin. Black Gorilla replaces half of that background with Brightberry's Blackberry Kush, Northern Lights and Cookies genetics, which pulls it toward 60% indica, a sweeter berry-and-cocoa nose and a sleepier finish.
Expect sticky trimming. Black Gorilla plants that take after Gorilla Glue #4 are extremely resinous, so wear gloves and keep scissors you can clean with alcohol, or dry-trim after hanging.
What does Black Gorilla taste like, and how does it feel?
Aroma and flavor
Black Gorilla tastes of sweet berries and chocolate over a diesel and earth base, with a sour-fruit edge that AllBud's reviewers also pick up in the aroma.
- Berry
- Chocolate
- Diesel
- Earthy
- Sour fruit
- Sweet
Terpenes
- Caryophyllene
- Peppery spice; typical of Gorilla Glue #4 lines
- Myrcene
- Musky, earthy body
- Limonene
- Citrus lift on top of the berry
No lab terpene test for Black Gorilla is public; these three are the ones strain guides list most, so read them as likely rather than measured.
Reported effects
Users describe Black Gorilla as a slow, heavy indica high that opens with a mild lift and a weighty feeling at the back of the head, then sinks into deep body calm and drowsiness. AllBud's reviewers call it a late-night strain with long-lasting effects.
- Relaxed
- Heavy body
- Sleepy
- Mild lift
Black Gorilla's likely downsides are dry mouth, dry eyes and couch-lock at higher doses, so it fits evenings with nothing left on the list.
These Black Gorilla effects summarize AllBud reviews and strain-guide descriptions, which are fewer than for famous strains. Reactions vary between people, and nothing here is medical advice.
How do you grow Black Gorilla seeds?
Black Gorilla seeds grow into vigorous, resinous plants that suit a 4–6 week veg, an 8–9 week bloom and a dry, well-ventilated room. Top them early, support the branches as the buds bulk up, and be ready for a sticky harvest.
- Germinate2–7 days
Plant feminized Black Gorilla seeds in small pots or plugs; every seedling should grow into a female.
- Vegetate4–6 weeks
The breeder says Black Gorilla jumps quickly in veg. Top once or twice and spread the branches before flowering.
- Flower55–63 days
Expect a noticeable stretch after the light change to 12/12. Add stakes or a trellis as the berry-scented buds gain weight.
- HarvestWeek 8–9 of bloom · late Sep to early Oct outdoors
Check trichomes with a loupe; many growers of heavy indicas wait for a little amber. Wear gloves for the trim.
Grow tips for Black Gorilla
- Keep humidity low late in bloom. Dense, resin-heavy Black Gorilla buds trap moisture. Aim for about 40–45% relative humidity in the final weeks and keep fans moving air through the canopy.
- Give the branches support. The breeder promises big yields, so set a SCROG net or plant yo-yos before the buds fill out in weeks 4 to 6 of flowering.
- Control the smell. Berry and chocolate sit on top and diesel underneath. Black Gorilla's aroma builds late in flower, so run a carbon filter indoors.
- Plan the trim around the resin. Plants that take after Gorilla Glue #4 coat scissors within minutes. Keep isopropyl alcohol close by, or hang whole branches and dry-trim later.
- Outdoors, finish before the rain. With an 8–9 week bloom, Black Gorilla should be ready around late September to early October in the Northern Hemisphere; a dry fall lowers the risk of bud rot.

Great pick if you

Black Gorilla strain FAQ

How much THC does Black Gorilla have?

How long does Black Gorilla take to flower?

Is Black Gorilla good for beginners?
Black Gorilla suits a grower with one or two harvests behind them. Feminized seeds remove the sexing step and the bloom is fairly short, but the sticky resin, strong smell and heavy buds call for airflow, support and odor control.
Do Black Gorilla seeds grow female plants?
Yes. These feminized Black Gorilla seeds are bred to grow female plants, so you can skip checking for males. The original Farmhouse Genetics release was regular seed, which produced both sexes.

Black Gorilla lives up to its name. The effects are strong and deeply relaxing, perfect for unwinding after a long day. Growing was manageable, with solid yields and a smooth flowering cycle. Black Gorilla is a great pick.
Izabellaur –
Black Gorilla hit me harder than I expected! The body high is deep and relaxing, almost like a cozy blanket, while the sweet, berry-tinged flavor makes it surprisingly enjoyable to smoke. It’s one of those strains that leaves you completely chilled and content, perfect for nights when you just want to sink into the couch and let go.
