Pink Gorilla Cannabis Seeds by Royal Queen Seeds
Pink Gorilla is a 75% indica-dominant feminised cannabis seed from Royal Queen Seeds that crosses the legendary Original Glue with Pink 2.0 — delivering 20% THC, fat resinous colas, and a reworked flavour profile that sets it apart from the rest of the Glue lineage. If you've grown Original Glue and loved the sticky, stanky output but wanted something with a bit more visual flair and flavour complexity, this is the seed to pop next.

Running a single plant to test the genetics? Grab the 1-seed pack. Planning a full tent run in an 80x80 or 100x100? The 5-pack gives you room to select the best phenotype and still have spares. The 10-pack is for growers who want to pheno-hunt properly or run a full SOG setup.
Why Pink Gorilla Seeds Deserve a Spot in Your Tent
Original Glue — formerly GG4 — has been one of the most sought-after hybrids since Joesy Whales and Ross Johnson first created it in Nevada. The problem? Everyone's growing it. The skunky diesel profile is iconic, but it's also everywhere. Royal Queen Seeds took a vigorous Original Glue cut and crossed it with Pink 2.0, and the result is a strain that keeps the resin production and potency you'd expect from Glue genetics while adding pink-purple highlights and a revamped terpene profile that genuinely stands out in a crowded jar.
We'd pick Pink Gorilla over a standard GG4 seed if you care about bag appeal. Those forest-green flowers with tight frosty calyxes and pink-purple streaks look properly impressive once they're trimmed up — and you can push the colour expression further by dropping night temperatures during the last two weeks of flowering. The buds stack into fat colas with excellent structure, meaning less larf and more keeper material at harvest.
The honest limitation? At 80–120 cm indoors, she's compact. That's brilliant if you're working with limited headroom in a 150 cm tent, but if you're after tall, stretchy sativa architecture, this isn't your plant. She grows like a squat little tank — brawny branches, dense canopy, minimal internodal spacing. Training is almost optional, though she responds well to LST and topping if you want to open up the canopy for better light penetration.

How to Grow Pink Gorilla Seeds
Pink Gorilla plants grow like weeds — that's not a figure of speech. They outgrow their seedling containers fast, so have your final pots ready early. Here's the run-through for an indoor tent grow:
- Germinate using the paper towel method or directly in a starter plug. Taproots typically show within 24–72 hours. Keep the environment at 22–25°C and around 70% relative humidity.
- Transplant into your final container (11–15 litre pots work well for this compact indica) once the first set of true leaves appears. Don't wait too long — she'll get rootbound in a solo cup faster than you'd expect.
- Veg for 3–4 weeks under 18/6 light. Pink Gorilla stays stocky, so if you want to fill a 1 m² canopy, consider topping once at the 4th or 5th node and using LST to spread the branches outward. She takes training without sulking.
- Flip to 12/12 when the canopy covers roughly 70% of your growing area. Expect a moderate pre-flower stretch — she won't double in height like a sativa, but budget for an extra 20–30% vertical growth.
- During weeks 5–6 of flower, the colas start stacking seriously. Support the heaviest branches with plant ties or a trellis net. The bud structure is dense and heavy, and unsupported branches can snap under their own weight.
- To bring out the pink-purple colouring, drop your night temperatures to around 15–18°C during the final two weeks. This activates anthocyanin pigments without stressing the plant.
- Harvest at 8–9 weeks when trichomes show mostly milky with 10–20% amber. Dry slowly at 18–20°C and 55–60% humidity for 10–14 days, then cure in glass jars for at least two weeks.
Complete your setup with a carbon filter and extraction fan if you're growing indoors — Pink Gorilla gets properly pungent during weeks 6–8. A trellis net also pays for itself with this strain, keeping those heavy colas upright and your canopy even. If you're after more RQS genetics, have a look at Royal Gorilla or Fat Banana for different expressions of heavy indica potency.
Pink Gorilla Potency and Cannabinoid Profile
Pink Gorilla delivers a THC content of 20%, placing it firmly in the potent-but-manageable range. According to strain data from multiple sources, Pink Gorilla THC levels can reach between 20% and 25% depending on phenotype and growing conditions. That's enough to produce dense, trichome-coated flowers with strong resin production — exactly what you'd expect from a strain carrying Original Glue genetics.
The 75% indica dominance means the physical characteristics lean toward compact bud structure, thick trichome coverage, and a terpene profile built around that classic Glue dankness with added sweetness from the Pink 2.0 parent. For growers focused on extraction or concentrate production, the resin output makes Pink Gorilla an excellent candidate — those sticky, frosty calyxes are loaded with material.
Frequently Asked Questions
How potent is Pink Gorilla?
Pink Gorilla carries around 20% THC, with some phenotypes reaching up to 25% under optimal growing conditions. That puts it in line with other heavy-hitting strains from the Glue lineage. The 75% indica genetics produce dense, resinous flowers with thick trichome coverage.
Is Pink Gorilla suitable for beginner growers?
Yes — she's one of the easier strains to grow. Pink Gorilla handles stress, temperature fluctuations, and training techniques like LST and topping without drama. The short 8–9 week flowering time also reduces the window for problems to develop.
How tall does Pink Gorilla grow indoors?
Expect 80–120 cm in a tent. She's a stocky indica-dominant plant with minimal stretch, making her a solid choice for growers with limited headroom. Outdoors, she can reach 140–180 cm.
What yields can I expect from Pink Gorilla seeds?
Royal Queen Seeds lists 450–500 g/m² indoors and 450–500 g/plant outdoors. Those numbers are realistic with proper lighting, nutrition, and a bit of training to open up the canopy.
When is Pink Gorilla ready to harvest outdoors?
Early October in the Northern Hemisphere. The short flowering period means you can chop before the worst of the autumn weather hits — a real advantage for outdoor growers in northern Europe.
How do I get the pink-purple colours to show?
Drop your night temperatures to 15–18°C during the final two weeks of flowering. This activates anthocyanin pigments in the calyxes without harming the plant. The trait comes from the Pink 2.0 genetics, so most phenotypes will show at least some colour.
How does Pink Gorilla compare to Original Glue (GG4)?
Same sticky resin production and potency, different flavour and appearance. Pink Gorilla swaps some of the straight diesel funk for sweeter, fruitier notes courtesy of the Pink 2.0 parent, and adds pink-purple colouring that Original Glue doesn't have. Growth structure is similar — compact, bushy, heavy-yielding.
What's the best pack size for Pink Gorilla seeds?
For a single test run, the 3-pack gives you enough to find a good phenotype. If you're filling a 1 m² tent with 4 plants, the 5-pack covers you with a spare. The 10-pack is best for pheno-hunting or running a SOG setup.
