Gorilla Zkittlez Cannabis Seeds by Barney's Farm
Gorilla Zkittlez is an indica-dominant cannabis hybrid that crosses the raw power of Gorilla Glue with the award-winning sweetness of Zkittlez. Bred by Barney's Farm, this cultivar hits 24% THC and delivers yields that border on absurd — up to 2,500g per plant outdoors. If you want a short flowering cycle with serious potency, this is the seed to drop.
Choose Your Pack Size
| Pack | Seeds | Best for |
|---|---|---|
| 3-pack | 3 feminised seeds | A single grow cycle or a test run with this genetics |
| 5-pack | 5 feminised seeds | Selecting the best phenotype or running a full tent |
Running 3 seeds gives you enough to fill a small tent. Go with 5 if you want room to pick your favourite pheno — Gorilla Zkittlez can express slightly different colour profiles plant to plant, and having options means you can keep the standout.
Gorilla Zkittlez Genetics and Lineage
The parentage here is no accident. Gorilla Glue (GG4) became legendary for its resin-drenched buds and knockout potency. Zkittlez won Best Indica at the 2015 Emerald Cup for its candy-shop terpene profile. Barney's Farm crossed these two heavyweights to produce a cultivar that keeps the brute-force THC of Gorilla Glue — 24% — while layering in Zkittlez's fruity complexity. The result is indica-dominant, meaning you'll see stocky branching, dense flower clusters, and that classic broad-leaf structure during veg.
What makes this cross interesting is how the terpene profiles stack. Gorilla Glue leans earthy and diesel; Zkittlez brings tropical fruit and grape. The offspring splits the difference — strong fruity aromatics with a diesel backbone that comes through on the exhale. We've had customers describe the dried flower smell as "a bag of sweets left in a mechanic's workshop," which honestly isn't far off.
Gorilla Zkittlez Flavour and Aroma Profile
Gorilla Zkittlez produces fruity, strong aromas that carry through from flower to finished product. Crack open a cured jar and you'll get an immediate wave of tropical sweetness — think ripe mango and grape candy — followed by that unmistakable Gorilla Glue earthiness underneath. The flavour translates well into edibles too. If you're the type to make cannabis-infused cheesecake or butter, this strain's terpene intensity means the flavour actually survives the cooking process rather than disappearing into generic "weed taste."
One honest note: the smell during flowering is not subtle. From about week 4 onward, these plants broadcast their presence. If discretion matters, a proper carbon filter isn't optional — it's the difference between a quiet hobby and a conversation with your neighbours.
Gorilla Zkittlez Growing Specifications
| Specification | Detail |
|---|---|
| Seed bank | Barney's Farm |
| Genetics | Gorilla Glue x Zkittlez |
| Type | Indica-dominant hybrid (feminised) |
| THC content | Up to 24% |
| Flowering time | 56–63 days |
| Indoor height | 140–170cm |

Those outdoor yield numbers — 2,000 to 2,500g per plant — are not a typo. Under expert care with a full season of direct sunlight, proper nutrition, and enough root space, Gorilla Zkittlez produces an almost unreasonable amount of flower. Indoor growers working a 1m² canopy can expect 500–700g, which is still well above average for a 56–63 day flowering window. That's a lot of cannabinoids in a short turnaround.
How to Grow Gorilla Zkittlez Seeds
- Germination: Soak seeds in a glass of room-temperature water for 12–24 hours until they sink. Transfer to damp paper towels between two plates and keep at 22–25°C. Taproots typically emerge within 48–72 hours.
- Seedling stage: Plant taproot-down into small pots with light, airy soil or coco coir. Keep humidity around 65–70% and light intensity low. These seedlings are vigorous — you'll see rapid early growth.
- Vegetative phase: Gorilla Zkittlez reaches 140–170cm whether grown indoors or outdoors. Indoor growers should plan for this height. Low-stress training (LST) or a ScrOG net will help manage the canopy and expose more bud sites to light. She responds well to topping.
- Flowering: Switch to 12/12 light indoors to trigger flowering. The 56–63 day window is short for the yields you'll get. Watch for the stunning blue-purple and dark olive green hues that develop as temperatures drop slightly at night — this is where Gorilla Zkittlez becomes genuinely beautiful to look at.
- Late flowering and harvest: Trichome production is heavy thanks to the Gorilla Glue parentage. Check trichomes with a jeweller's loupe — harvest when most are milky with around 10–20% amber for the full indica effect. The resin output means trimming will be sticky work. Keep scissors and isopropyl alcohol handy.
- Drying and curing: Hang-dry in a dark room at 18–20°C with 55–60% humidity for 10–14 days. Cure in glass jars, burping daily for the first two weeks. The fruity terpene profile really develops during a proper cure — rushing this step wastes half the flavour potential.
Why Gorilla Zkittlez Belongs in Your Grow
We've been stocking Barney's Farm genetics since the early days, and Gorilla Zkittlez is one of those strains that justifies the hype. The numbers tell part of the story: 24% THC, 500–700g/m² indoors, a flowering phase under 9 weeks. But the part that doesn't show up in spec sheets is how forgiving this plant is during the grow. Novice growers can pull respectable harvests. Experienced growers who dial in the environment will see those top-end yields.
The effects lean heavily indica — powerful, relaxing, and thought-provoking. It's the kind of strain that pairs well with a slow evening, a film with a plot you need to actually follow, and nowhere to be the next morning. The 24% THC means even seasoned users should respect the potency. One or two draws and you'll know where you stand.
The honest limitation? Height. At 140–170cm, this isn't a micro-grow strain. If you're working in a 120cm tent, you'll need aggressive training or you'll run out of headroom before week 4 of flower. Plan your vertical space or go outdoors where she can stretch without restrictions.
Compared to something like Barney's Farm Runtz Muffin, Gorilla Zkittlez trades some of the dessert sweetness for raw potency and bigger yields. If flavour is your top priority, Runtz Muffin edges it out. If you want maximum grams per square metre with face-melting THC, Gorilla Zkittlez wins.
Running Gorilla Zkittlez indoors? A Dark Box grow tent in the 80x80 or 100x100 size gives her the vertical space she needs. Pair with a carbon filter kit — the terpene output on this strain makes odour control non-negotiable. If you're after a complete setup, check out the grow tent kits that bundle tent, lighting, and ventilation together.
Frequently Asked Questions
How long does Gorilla Zkittlez take to flower?
56 to 63 days from the start of the flowering phase. That's 8–9 weeks, which is short for an indica-dominant strain producing these yield numbers. Indoor growers can expect to harvest within 10–12 weeks total from seed, depending on how long they veg.
What yields can I expect from Gorilla Zkittlez indoors?
500–700g/m² indoors under optimised conditions. Hitting the top end requires proper lighting (600W HPS or equivalent LED), good airflow, and training techniques like ScrOG. Even a straightforward grow with basic care should land you in the 500g range.
Is Gorilla Zkittlez suitable for beginners?
Yes, with a caveat. The plant is forgiving and grows vigorously, so novice growers can get good results. The main challenge is managing the 140–170cm height indoors — you need to plan your training early or you'll run out of space. Start with low-stress training and you'll be fine.
Are there any side effects associated with Gorilla Zkittlez?
At 24% THC, dry mouth and dry eyes are commonly reported. The indica-dominant effects are strong, so overconsumption can lead to heavy sedation. Respect the potency — start with less than you think you need and give it time before going further.
What does Gorilla Zkittlez smell and taste like?
Fruity and strong. The dominant aromas are tropical fruit and grape candy from the Zkittlez side, with an earthy, diesel undertone from Gorilla Glue. The flavour carries well into edibles and concentrates. Expect your grow space to smell intensely from mid-flower onward.
How tall does Gorilla Zkittlez grow?
140–170cm both indoors and outdoors. This is consistent regardless of environment, which makes it predictable but means you need at least a 150cm tent with room above for lights and filters. Topping and LST can reduce final height by 20–30cm if space is tight.
What's the difference between the 3-pack and 5-pack?
The 3-pack gives you enough for a single grow cycle. The 5-pack is better value per seed and lets you select the best phenotype — Gorilla Zkittlez can show variation between plants, so more seeds means a better chance of finding an exceptional keeper.
