What is the Gorilla Cookies strain?
Gorilla Cookies is a hybrid of Gorilla Glue #4 and Thin Mint Girl Scout Cookies bred by Elev8 Seeds; this autoflower version adds ruderalis so it flowers automatically. Fast Buds, the best-documented maker of an auto version, describes it as sativa-leaning and lists up to 27% THC, a 90–100 cm plant and up to 500–600 g/m² indoors, with harvest around 10 weeks from seed. Leafly users report a creative, relaxed and hungry high with mint, nut and earthy flavors.
AllBud's split for photoperiod Gorilla Cookies. The autoflower adds ruderalis genetics, so use it as a guide only.
Elev8 Seeds says the buds stay sticky even after curing, and one grower called the auto's nugs the frostiest he had seen on any autoflower.

Where does the Gorilla Cookies strain come from?
Gorilla Cookies was bred by Elev8 Seeds by crossing Gorilla Glue #4 with the Thin Mint cut of Girl Scout Cookies. Elev8 made it as a first-generation cross, so plants can lean toward either parent: some show Glue's pungent funk and heavy resin, others the Thin Mint side's minty, cookie-sweet notes. Elev8 describes the result as loud and vigorous.
The autoflower takes that hybrid and adds ruderalis, a hardy type of cannabis that switches into bloom with age. Fast Buds' Gorilla Cookies Auto is the best-documented version, listed on SeedFinder as (Gorilla Glue × GSC) × ruderalis. Some guides name the Forum Cut of GSC instead of Thin Mint, so the exact Cookies parent may differ between seed makers.
Is Gorilla Cookies the same as Gorilla Glue?
No: Gorilla Glue #4 is one of Gorilla Cookies' parents, not the same strain. GG4 brings the heavy resin and the earthy, diesel funk, while Thin Mint Girl Scout Cookies adds the minty, nutty, sweet side of the flavor. Because Gorilla Cookies is a first-generation cross, individual plants can resemble either parent.
Photoperiod or auto, the timing differs. Elev8's original Gorilla Cookies flowers for about 9 weeks after a veg period you choose; the autoflower covers its whole life in roughly 10 weeks.
How does Gorilla Cookies taste, and what is the high like?
Aroma and flavor
Gorilla Cookies tastes of mint and nuts over an earthy, hashy base, with Leafly users naming nutty, mint and chestnut as its top flavors. Fast Buds adds diesel and lemon notes on a sweet cookie background.
- Mint
- Nutty
- Chestnut
- Earthy
- Diesel
- Sweet
Terpenes
- Caryophyllene
- Peppery spice; the lead terpene on Leafly
- Limonene
- Lemon brightness
- Myrcene
- Earthy, herbal depth
Leafly's terpene list is for photoperiod Gorilla Cookies; the auto's mint, earth and nut aroma suggests a similar mix.
Reported effects
Gorilla Cookies Auto is most often described as creative, relaxed and hungry, a balanced high that lifts the mood before settling into a calm body feeling. Fast Buds calls it euphoric with a relaxing physical side.
- Creative
- Relaxed
- Euphoric
- Hungry
- Happy
Gorilla Cookies' reported downsides are dry mouth, dry eyes and dizziness, and AllBud reviewers mention nervous energy at high doses.
Gorilla Cookies reports come from Leafly and AllBud users plus Fast Buds' description. Your own experience may differ, and nothing here is medical advice.
How do you grow Gorilla Cookies seeds?
Gorilla Cookies autoflower seeds go from seed to harvest in about 8 to 10 weeks on a long-day light schedule such as 18/6 or 20/4: sow in the container the plant will finish in, train it gently in the first weeks, and watch humidity once the dense, frosty buds fill out.
- Germinate1–4 days
Plant the sprouted Gorilla Cookies seed straight into a 10–15 L (3–4 gal) container so it never needs moving.
- Early growthWeeks 1–3
Begin tying branches down around week 2. Gorilla Cookies grows bushy, and opening the middle pays off at harvest.
- FlowerWeeks 4–10
Bloom begins by itself around weeks 3 to 4, and the plant can stretch to 90–150 cm, so leave headroom under the light.
- Harvest~10 weeks from seed
Check trichomes from week 9. Cloudy heads with a little amber suit the balanced high most growers are after.
Grow tips for Gorilla Cookies
- Leave room for stretch. Elev8 warns that the original likes to stretch in flower, and the auto can reach 150 cm, so keep your light height adjustable.
- Train with ties, not scissors. Bend and tie Gorilla Cookies branches in the first three weeks; heavy pruning slows an autoflower that has no spare time to recover.
- Watch for powdery mildew. A grower of the Fast Buds auto reported mildew on lower fan leaves, so strip low growth and keep fresh air moving.
- Expect a loud smell. Elev8 calls the original loud, and the GG4 side brings a pungent funk; run a carbon filter from mid flower.
- Trim sticky buds with care. Gorilla Cookies resin is thick, so wear gloves and clean your scissors often during harvest.
- Use the summer outdoors. With about 10 weeks from seed to harvest, a warm, dry summer leaves time for one or even two Gorilla Cookies runs.
Is Gorilla Cookies the right strain for you?
Great pick if you
- Want very high THC from a fast plant with no light-cycle change
- Like minty, nutty, earthy cookie flavors
- Grow in a tent with about 1.5 m (5 ft) of headroom
- Want resin-heavy buds for hash or rosin
Think twice if you
- Need a very short plant for a tiny cabinet
- Are sensitive to strong THC or nervous energy
- Want to clone and keep a mother plant
- Can't manage strong smells
