Elev8 - Gorilla Cookies

Gorilla Cookies Feminized Seeds by Elev8 Seeds

Genetics and Origins – Gorilla Cookies Seeds Lineage

Gorilla Cookies Feminized by Elev8 Seeds was created in 2014 by Johnny, head breeder at Elev8 Seeds USA. By crossing the legendary Gorilla Glue #4 (GG4) with Thin Mint Girl Scout Cookies (GSC), he achieved a powerful hybrid that embodies the best of both worlds — explosive resin production, complex terpenes, and a cannabinoid-rich composition.

Its instant reputation for potency and aroma led to countless imitations, yet the authentic Gorilla Cookies remains an exclusive Elev8 creation, preserving the original balance between Gorilla Glue’s sticky intensity and Cookies’ sweet, dessert-like charm.

*GG4 originally came from a hermaphrodite Chem parent, so the trait underlies within the genetics. Please keep a watchful eye during their flowering period*

Aroma and Flavor Profile – Gorilla Cookies Strain Taste

The aroma of Gorilla Cookies seeds is a masterful blend of diesel, chocolate, coffee, and sweet mint cookie dough, rounded by faint earthy pine undertones.
When lit, the scent evolves from deep, gassy notes to a creamy, mint-cookie sweetness on exhale, leaving a smooth, dessert-like finish.

Its terpene profile, dominated by Caryophyllene, Limonene, and Myrcene, delivers a layered aromatic experience — spicy, sweet, and grounding — typical of top-tier American hybrid cannabis genetics.

Cultivation and Yield – Growing Gorilla Cookies Feminized

Gorilla Cookies Feminized thrives in diverse environments, making it a favorite among both beginner and professional growers.
Plants develop into medium-sized, bushy structures with vigorous lateral branching and thick, resin-coated colas that sparkle under light.

Indoors, flowering completes in 8–9 weeks, rewarding growers with 550–600 g/m², while outdoor plants can yield up to 800 g per plant, ready for harvest by early October.

To optimize performance, techniques such as SCROG, LST, topping, and defoliation are highly effective — increasing airflow, light penetration, and resin density. Gorilla Cookies also performs well in coco or hydro systems, where it expresses faster growth and enhanced aroma production.

Morphology and Growth Characteristics

Gorilla Cookies embodies the perfect hybrid balance of structure, stability, and resilience:

• Medium height (100–140 cm indoors) with strong lateral growth
• Compact, golf-ball-sized buds coated in a thick layer of trichomes
• High calyx-to-leaf ratio for easier trimming
• Excellent resistance to mold, pests, and environmental stress
• Hybrid vigor allows for uniform growth and strong recovery after training
• Performs exceptionally in warm and temperate outdoor climates

During late flowering, buds often display purple hues under cooler night temperatures, contrasting beautifully with amber pistils and icy trichomes, giving Gorilla Cookies an unmistakably premium visual appeal.
