Gorilla Melon brings together the famous GG#4 from Murdock GG Strains and a Melon keeper cut from Fast Buds’ own collection. The cross delivers the juicy melon terpenes of one parent, the classic GG#4 flavor and toughness of the other, and potency of 25-30% THC.
She grows outward more than upward, which gives you a bushy, manageable plant that is easy to fit into a tent. Fast Buds rates her XL, with heights of 140-180 cm (55-70 in). By late bloom, small, rock-solid and very sticky buds cover her branches.
She also sets plenty of colas, so yields are not a worry. Expect a generous stash of sweet and sour, top-quality flowers at the end of the run.
A Gorilla-Strong Plant
Gorilla Melon inherits real toughness from her parents. Fast Buds describes her as able to shrug off almost any stress: you can defoliate as hard as you need, or take as many clones as you want, and she recovers fast and comes back stronger. That makes her a forgiving choice for growers who like to train hard or keep mothers.
Flowering takes 9-10 weeks after the switch to 12/12. Indoors, plan on 500-600 g/m² (1.6-2 oz/ft²). Outdoors, plants can reach up to 1,100 g (39 oz) each. Her wide, branchy shape responds well to topping and SCROG, which spreads the many colas evenly under the light.
Flavor and Smoke
The jar opens with sweet, ripe melon. Behind it sits the earthy, slightly sour character GG#4 is known for. Fast Buds lists the taste as melon, earthy and sweet, and that sweet-and-sour balance carries through to the smoke.
With THC as high as 30%, Gorilla Melon is made for avid smokers who appreciate a strong hit. Newer consumers should start low and go slow.
Her bushy build and stress tolerance also make Gorilla Melon a practical pick for small rooms and for growers still learning to train. Mistakes with pruning or cloning rarely set her back for long, and the payoff is a jar of dense, sticky nuggets with a fruity nose that stands apart from the usual gas-heavy hybrids.
