King Kong has nothing on this ape. White Gorilla is a powerful bud by Greenlife Seeds that combines Gorilla Glue #4 with White Fire Alien OG, aka Wifi Alien OG, for a chocolate kissed, indica-dominant hybrid that soothes as it uplifts. It sounds too good to be true, but we assure you, this is real.
White Gorilla produces eye-catching buds. It has thick trichomes that cover the strain in an albino coat. It also sports colorful hues that enhance its overall appearance. But, more than its looks, the slightly Indica leaning strain draws attention for its impressive high.
White Gorilla strain is a balanced hybrid with 55% of Indica in its composition. It has an average THC level of 19%, but it may go exceptionally high up to 25%. The weed was developed by crossing White Fire Alien OG with Gorilla Glue #4. It got its Indica-like properties from White Fire Alien OG, and its potent character from the other parent.
White Gorilla marijuana has soothing, yet uplifting properties. For those who prefer calming effects but want some weed for daytime use, it’s the perfect choice. It takes a few minutes for the first effects to be felt, but the user will soon feel how all muscle tension is relieved. The weed relieves headaches and chronic pains, but it doesn’t make the users sleepy. On the contrary, it enhances their mood.
Greenlife, like in many of their strains, used White Fire Alien OG as a genetic base. It has impressive therapeutic quality that provides patients with a myriad of benefits. From it, White Gorilla gained its tranquilizing body buzz. For its heavy trichome production, the breeders turned to Gorilla Glue #4. Its name alone suggests it sticks to the palm of one’s hand and leave a residue when examined. The award-winning bud also delivers a soothing euphoria that contribute to its offspring’s sedating qualities.

Effects
White Gorilla has a distinctly uplifting onset. It oozes into the mind slowly through a rush of euphoria that improves the mood. Usually, it takes about 15 minutes for users to notice a behavioral change. But, once it settles, one’s sense of happiness is immediately visible. Smiles are not only etched on the face, but giggles escape from the mouth too.
One of the best times to use the slightly Indica-leaning strain is dinner or anytime right before a meal during a day off. Although subtle, the mentally stimulating buzz awakens the appetite. Having snacks prepared ahead of time is highly recommended.
A soothing sensation introduces itself in the temples after two to three hours from the first few puffs. It lingers around the forehead and behind the eyes. Finding its way gradually down to the toes is a relaxing rush that intensifies after each puff. It releases tension from the muscles, so users are free to enjoy a stress-free night.
Without a doubt, White Gorilla will sedate users. Its heavy-hitting buzz settles comfortably in the limbs. It lulls users to sleep by, first, making the eyes droop and then gently cradling the body to bed. Its sleepy
Fragrance
White Gorilla is a pungent strain because of its THC levels. It has a strong chemical overtone with striking notes of diesel. Breaking it apart reveals the bitter undertones of dark chocolate and a hint of skunk. Combusting it, however, reveal its refreshing aroma of pine.
Flavors
White Gorilla bursts into an amalgam of flavors. It has a chemical blend with diesel overtones. Balancing it out is the taste of dark, lightly sweetened chocolate. On the exhale, it leaves an aftertaste of pine and skunk.
Adverse reactions
Apart from the usual dryness in the eyes and the mouth, users may also experience a subtle feeling of paranoia and a disorienting dizziness that heightens levels of anxiety. Often, it is the result of using too much of the strain but one’s disposition before the high is a major factor as well. Starting with low dosages will keep the experience pleasant.

White Gorilla exhibits hybrid features due to its slightly Indica-leaning genes. For instance, it is relatively tall and is, therefore, much more manageable. Its branches are sturdy but bendable. Because of this, it makes for an impressive introductory strain that beginners can cultivate without much problems.
Outdoors, it will need protection against extreme weather such as snow or heavy rains. Both will not only stunt its growth, but it may also kill the plant overnight. A temporary enclosing is enough to protect it against harsh weather conditions, but one may also opt to plant it indoors.
Controllable environments allow aspiring growers to adjust factors like lighting, temperature, and humidity. For instance, during the flowering period, switching the lights out for higher-intensity models will encourage bud production. On the other hand, installing a proficient ventilation system will enhance air flow.
Medicinally, this strain is great for muscle spasms, chronic pain, headaches, and muscle tension. This is due in part to the sedative properties as well as its speculated CBD content. For mood disorders and mental health issues try this strain for relieving the symptoms of depression, bipolar, stress, social anxiety, and even mild cases of PTSD. It has the ability to boost your mood and get your energy working in your favor. The mind-clearing attributes that come with this strain are perfect for mellowing out your nerves.
Growers can apply both the Sea and Screen of Green methods. The former requires cultivating at least four plants in a single square meter. It hastens the flowering period and maximizes space. Pruning is essential since the dense foliage can inhibit light and air around the growing room. For the latter, growers need to install a screen a few inches above of the current canopy then weave the branches into the net. This will even out the top so light reaches the lower nodes.
Flowering Time
Indoor
White Gorilla has a short indoor flowering period of 7 to 9 weeks. Growers can expect it to produce between 10 to 12 ounces of buds per square meter.
Outdoor
White Gorilla blooms between the last few days of September to the second or third week of October when cultivated in the northern hemisphere. It yields at least 12 ounces of buds per plant at harvest.
This generous crop tends to be ready at around the 8 to 9-week mark and is a great plant for anyone wanting to move from beginner to intermediate growing difficulty. As it comes with a lovely scent, this chocolatey bush is a great addition to any indoor system, but will flourish inside or out. The harvest will be above average in most cases.
White Gorilla is a great evening or night use strain as the energy derived from the high fades into soothing night time rest. But before you get to that phase, enjoy how this social bud takes away your anxiety, leaving you feeling refreshed and creative for hours. As you come down, your happiness fades only into a tranquil sleep.
This strain is a connoisseur grade for sure! It can be expensive but man is it worth it. I can smoke this and honestly I don’t feel any couch lock at all. I don’t recommend heavy hitting with this strain even for us seasoned smokers as it can make you cough. The high last a long time too which is awesome! It helps me be creative with my music, coding and inventing.
Recently acquired this strain visiting my friends in Canada. The smell it produces is pungent, a little sweet, fruity, fragrant. It kind of reminds me of potpourri. Each hit does not disappoint. Definitely at ease, after a long work day. Buds looked nice. Everything is perfect in this strain!
If you ever have the chance, buy it. Upon opening my stash, i was hit with a pungent and nice spicy-fruity smell that was so dank you cant open it in the house without still smelling it 30 minutes later. I had no tolerance when i first smoked it, so 2 hits and a coughing fit were what it took to get pretty sent. This strain sneaks up on you a little, but within a couple of minutes you will notice that all the sensory effects of weed are there. Time passes much slower, colors are much brighter, smells stronger, tastes better, sounds more complex and pain almost gone. I was pleasantly relaxed and spacey, but was soon put in a euphoric and energized state of mind. No worry can touch you with this, i was in pure bliss. No noticeable body high, but the head high more than makes up for it. Watching a wendys ad was disorienting because of the slightly psychedelic heady indica effects, so be prepared to be obviously baked. The only negatives i noticed were dry mouth, hunger, headaches, and a noticeable paranoia (but it seems funny in the moment) After an hour or two of fun, the strong euphoria and energy begins to wear off, leaving you pleasantly relaxed and refreshed, albeit a bit paranoid. If you ever find yourself blessed by the white gorilla, you will never forget it.
