Black Gorilla Grape
Black Gorilla Grape
Overview
Black Gorilla Grape is an indica-dominant hybrid strain (70% indica/30% sativa) created by Riot Seeds through complex genetic crosses. The strain was developed by crossing (Black Russian x Double Purple Doja) with (Purple Urkel x Double Purple Doja), representing what the breeder considers "the pinnacle of my delving into purples" and "the best purple I've ever made, released, grown, etc.". The strain's genetics trace back to the "Purple Bastard" mother plant, which was the Black Russian dominant version featuring heavy purples and cranberry/currant flavours and smells.
Black Gorilla Grape is renowned for its striking visual appearance and rich flavor profile. The buds have super dense heart-shaped dark olive green, almost black, nugs with long orange hairs and a coating of frosty, dark purple-tinted white crystal trichomes. This plant is purple in week 1 - no cold temps necessary, making it particularly appealing to purple cannabis enthusiasts. The strain produces aromas of sweet and sour citrus and spicy skunk, all wrapped up with a hint of earthy grapes, while its flavor profile offers sour citrusy orange overtones accented by skunky chemicals and hints of sugary grapes. The strain represents what many consider the future of purple cannabis varieties, combining exceptional bag appeal with substantial potency and yield potential.
