Gorilla Cookies Feminized Seeds by Elev8 Seeds

Genetics & Lineage – Gorilla Cookies Feminized Origins

Gorilla Cookies Feminized by Elev8 Seeds is a powerhouse American hybrid first developed in 2014 by Johnny, lead breeder at Elev8 Seeds USA. This cultivar was born from an elite cross between the world-famous Gorilla Glue #4 (GG4) and the dessert-forward Thin Mint Girl Scout Cookies (GSC) — resulting in a perfectly balanced hybrid known for extreme resin production, complex terpene layering, and exceptionally high cannabinoid potential.

Almost immediately after its release, Gorilla Cookies gained recognition for its potency, bag appeal, and unmistakable aroma profile. While many seed companies have attempted to recreate the strain, authentic Gorilla Cookies remains an original Elev8 genetic, carefully preserving the sticky, heavy resin traits of GG4 while amplifying the sweet, bakery-style terpene character of Thin Mint Cookies.

Note: GG4 genetics originated from a hermaphroditic Chem lineage, meaning growers should monitor plants closely during flowering to ensure stability and remove any potential intersex traits early.

Aroma, Terpenes & Flavor – Gorilla Cookies Taste Experience

Gorilla Cookies delivers a deep, layered aromatic profile that immediately signals top-shelf American genetics. Expect bold notes of:

• Fuel and diesel gas

• Dark chocolate and roasted coffee

• Sweet mint cookie dough

• Subtle earthy pine undertones

During combustion or vaporization, the profile evolves beautifully — opening with pungent gassy intensity and transitioning into creamy mint cookie sweetness on the exhale, leaving a smooth, dessert-like finish on the palate.

Its terpene profile is typically dominated by Caryophyllene, Limonene, and Myrcene, producing a sensory experience that feels spicy, citrus-bright, and deeply grounding all at once.

Cultivation Performance – Growing Gorilla Cookies Feminized Seeds

Gorilla Cookies Feminized is highly adaptable and performs well across multiple grow environments, making it suitable for both newer growers and experienced cultivators chasing premium yield and resin quality.

Plants typically grow into medium-height, bushy structures with strong lateral branching and thick, trichome-covered colas that shimmer under grow lights.

Indoor Performance

• Flowering Time: 8–9 weeks

• Yield Potential: 550–600 g/m²

Outdoor Performance

• Harvest Window: Early October

• Yield Potential: Up to 800 g per plant

This strain responds exceptionally well to advanced training techniques such as:

• SCROG (Screen of Green)

• LST (Low Stress Training)

• Topping and canopy shaping

• Strategic defoliation for airflow and light penetration

Gorilla Cookies also thrives in coco and hydroponic systems, often showing accelerated growth rates and even stronger terpene expression.

Structure & Growth Traits – Gorilla Cookies Plant Morphology

Gorilla Cookies showcases true hybrid vigor, combining structural strength with strong recovery after training or environmental stress.

Key growth traits include:

• Medium height: ~100–140 cm indoors

• Dense, golf-ball-style bud structure

• Heavy trichome coverage and extreme resin production

• High calyx-to-leaf ratio for easier trimming

• Strong resistance to mold, pests, and stress factors

• Performs best in warm to temperate outdoor climates

During late flowering, growers may notice purple coloration developing under cooler nighttime temperatures, creating striking contrast against bright orange pistils and frosty trichome coverage.
