Gorilla Cookies brings together two strains that need no introduction: the sticky, pungent Gorilla Glue line (via Monkey Glue) and Girl Scout Cookies, specifically the Thin Mint cut. Growers Choice combined the resin and heavy smell of the Glue with the rich, full flavor of the Cookies to create a 60% indica / 40% sativa feminized hybrid.
THC averages around 24–26%, with some plants testing above 27% according to the breeder, alongside medium CBD. The plant is medium-tall and grows like an indica, with heavy side branches and a big main cola that fills out fast in bloom.
Indoors, Gorilla Cookies flowers in only 8 weeks, reaches 100–140 cm (39–55 in) and yields 650–750 g/m² (2.1–2.5 oz/ft²). Outdoors, plants grow to 140–180 cm (55–71 in) and finish in the last week of September.
It handles warm and cold climates, but mold resistance is rated low, so it needs good airflow and careful humidity management to reach its full potential.
Flavor and Effects of Gorilla Cookies
The aroma is loud, earthy and pungent, carrying the classic Gorilla Glue mix of pine, diesel and damp earth. Underneath, the Cookies side adds a sweet, doughy richness with a subtle minty coolness from the Thin Mint lineage.
The flavor follows: a sticky, gassy Glue core wrapped in rich, sweet cookie dough with a slight mint finish. It is like a fresh batch of chocolate-mint cookies baked in a pine cabin with a diesel generator running outside.
Effects are balanced and versatile. Growers Choice describes it as a strain for both daytime and nighttime use, bringing relaxation together with a creative spark. The high usually starts with a cheerful, focused headspace and slowly deepens into a calm, comfortable body feel.
At 24–26% THC, it is strong but manageable for consumers with some experience.
Growing Gorilla Cookies Indoors and Outdoors
Indoors, Gorilla Cookies grows medium-tall at 100–140 cm (39–55 in), with heavy side branches and a large main cola. Topping once and spreading the branches with LST or a SCROG net creates an even canopy and reduces the risk of overly dense, moisture-trapping colas.
Because mold resistance is low, airflow is crucial. Defoliate the interior of the plant at the start of bloom and again around day 21, keep oscillating fans running and hold humidity at 40–45% during the last weeks. A dehumidifier is a smart addition in humid rooms.
Outdoors, plants reach 140–180 cm (55–71 in) and finish in the last week of September. The plant tolerates warm and cold temperatures, but a dry, sunny autumn is the safest bet. In regions with frequent late-season rain, a greenhouse or rain cover is strongly recommended.
The extremely sticky resin makes trimming messy, but it also makes Gorilla Cookies a great choice for hash and rosin.
