Royal Gorilla is a three-way hybrid (tribrid?) made from crossing a few legends into a kid that’s sweet and chemmy at the same time. The breeder Royal Queen Seeds created the strain from Chem’s Sister, Sour Dubb, and Chocolate Diesel, with the result being well-balanced yet powerful. Cerebral sensations leading to euphoria are the main experiences reported by users when consuming Royal Gorilla. We’re going to break down it all down for you below.

The strain flowers in 56-63 days on average, yielding well at 550g per plant both indoors and outdoors. Its growing difficulty is listed as “easy” due to how well its resinous spade-shaped 60buds resist common pests and temperature changes. We recommend a warm, dry climate for these medium-tall plants as well as pruning them early to encourage secondary shoots throughout the veg phase. If you’re a beginner grower, this slightly indica-dominant bud should be grown indoors where you can keep better track of it.

The strain’s terpene profile includes healthy doses of myrcene and limonene, with trace amounts of caryophyllene, pinene, humulene, and linalool. The result is a flavor whose onset hits like a diesel freight train, but fades and mellows into woodsy, sour notes of citrus and sweet pine. On the exhale, the strain has a bite of bright lemon flavor with hints of fuel still lingering.

Similar to the taste, the high hits hard, with THC that can get up to 27%, powering through even the thickest stress into the recesses of your over-active mind. Royal Gorilla lifts you up in its strong arms, promoting euphoric ease and calm and muscling out your negative thoughts from the back of your neck to the top of your head. 

Ideally, you should be chilling out with Royal Gorilla’s hairy arms wrapped around your brain sometime in the late afternoon. We recommend getting some movies handy and enjoying your sense of ease, being careful not to overdo it.

Despite its high THC levels, Royal Gorilla isn’t known for causing couch lock or sedation. In its place, you may find supreme calm, accompanied by diesel-lemon and pine flavor. The buds are extremely resinous and sticky surrounding the light amber hairs and fat trichomes, so the strain is not only easy on beginners but perfect for breeding strains for concentrates. So long as you can handle its pungent influence, Royal Gorilla is a convincing companion in the realm of stress release and late-afternoon mind-expanding bliss.
