The strain's appearance is visually striking, featuring dense, chunky buds covered in a thick coating of sticky resin and vibrant orange pistils.

Growing Information
Gorilla Diesel is considered moderately easy to grow, making it suitable for cultivators with varying experience levels. The strain has a flowering time of 8-10 weeks and responds well to both indoor and outdoor cultivation. Indoor growers can expect yields of approximately 14-16 ounces per square meter, while outdoor cultivation can produce up to 18 ounces per plant. The strain exhibits vigorous growth and benefits from training techniques such as SCROG (Screen of Green) to manage its height and maximize light exposure. Gorilla Diesel prefers temperatures between 70-85°F (21-30°C) during the day with slightly cooler nights. Humidity should be maintained at 50-60% during vegetative growth and reduced to 40-50% during flowering to prevent mold and concentrate cannabinoid production. The strain is noted for its high resin production and ability to efficiently absorb nutrients, making it relatively forgiving for growers while producing top-shelf results.
