Triple G

Triple G Cannabis Seeds by Royal Queen Seeds

Triple G is a feminized cannabis seed from Royal Queen Seeds that crosses two heavyweight parents — Gorilla Glue #4 and Gelato #33 — into one indica-dominant powerhouse. The result is a strain bred specifically for maximum THC production, compact growth, and dessert-sweet flavour. If you want a plant that stays manageable in a small tent but still delivers knockout potency, this is where you start.

Triple G Genetics: Gorilla Glue #4 Meets Gelato #33

The parent selection behind Triple G is anything but random. Gorilla Glue #4 — the strain that swept the Michigan Cannabis Cup, the Los Angeles Cannabis Cup, and the High Times Jamaican World Cup — brings raw THC firepower and resin production that coats scissors, fingers, and anything else within reach. It's a hybrid known for leaving buds so sticky you genuinely need rubbing alcohol to clean your trimming shears.

The second parent, Gelato #33, is a specific phenotype selected from the Sunset Sherbet x Thin Mint GSC cross. It's a West Coast indica celebrated for two things: a body-focused effect that pins you to the sofa, and a terpene profile that smells like someone left a bowl of vanilla ice cream next to a bag of fresh citrus peel. Breeders at Royal Queen Seeds crossed these two lines and ran several generations of stabilisation before releasing Triple G as a feminized variety. The indica dominance shows in the plant structure — bushy, broad-fingered leaves, stocky frame — while the THC levels reflect both parents pushing in the same direction.

Growing Triple G Seeds: What to Expect

Triple G stays at a medium height whether you grow her indoors or outdoors, which makes her one of the more forgiving strains for small spaces. She'll fit in a cupboard grow, a 60x60 tent, or a discreet corner of the garden without towering over the fence. The indica morphology means bushy lateral growth and broad fan leaves — so plan on doing some defoliation to let light reach the lower bud sites.

She responds well to training. Low-stress training (LST) or a simple ScrOG net will spread the canopy and boost your yield without stressing the plant. Royal Queen Seeds describes her productivity as "superb," and from what we've seen with similar indica-dominant genetics, that tracks — expect dense, resinous colas that pack on weight in the final weeks of flower. The Gorilla Glue lineage means heavy trichome coverage, so your carbon filter will be earning its keep from mid-flower onwards. The smell is thick: fuel and earth from the Glue side, sweet dessert notes from the Gelato.

One honest heads-up: bushy indicas with dense buds are more susceptible to mould in high-humidity environments. If you're growing in a tent, keep your relative humidity below 50% during late flower and make sure you've got decent airflow between the colas. Outdoors, she'll do best in a dry, warm climate. A greenhouse with good ventilation is your safest bet in the Dutch or British autumn.

Flavour and Aroma of Triple G

This is where the Gelato #33 parent really earns her place. Triple G produces a smoke that's sweet and creamy on the inhale — think vanilla biscuit with a hint of citrus — and shifts to a heavier, fuel-tinged earthiness on the exhale. The Gorilla Glue genetics add that unmistakable diesel-glue funkiness that lingers on your fingers after breaking up a bud. If you've smoked either parent strain, imagine them layered on top of each other: dessert shop in the front, mechanic's garage in the back.

The terpene profile leans heavily on caryophyllene and limonene with a myrcene backbone, which is typical for both parent lines. In practice, that means a complex nose when you open the jar — sweet, sharp, and musky all at once. It's the kind of strain where the smell alone tells you what's coming.

Why Triple G Belongs in Your Grow

We've carried Royal Queen Seeds since the early days, and Triple G sits in that sweet spot where potency meets practicality. Plenty of strains claim sky-high THC, but they often come with trade-offs — stretchy sativa growth that needs 3 metres of headroom, or finicky genetics that drop half your seedlings to hermaphroditism. Triple G doesn't ask for much. Medium height, indica structure, feminized seeds, and a proven genetic cross that's been stabilised over multiple generations.

The Gorilla Glue #4 side brings the resin and the raw power. The Gelato #33 side brings the flavour and the body weight. Together, they produce a plant that's genuinely enjoyable to grow — she fills out nicely, responds to training, and rewards you with dense, frosty buds that smell like a dessert counter at a petrol station. In the best possible way.

Compared to growing a pure Gorilla Glue #4, Triple G is more compact and slightly easier to manage in tight spaces. Compared to a straight Gelato, she's got more vigour and a heavier resin coat. If you've been growing Royal Queen Seeds' Royal Gorilla and want something with a sweeter profile, Triple G is the natural next step.

How to Grow Triple G Seeds

1. Germinate your Triple G seeds using the paper towel method or directly in a moist starter plug. Keep the temperature between 22-25°C and expect a taproot within 24-72 hours.
2. Transplant the sprouted seed into a small pot (0.5-1L) with light, airy soil or coco coir. Keep the medium moist but not waterlogged — seedlings drown faster than they dry out.
3. Once the plant has 4-5 nodes, begin low-stress training by gently bending the main stem and tying it down. This opens the canopy and encourages multiple cola sites instead of one dominant top.
4. Maintain 18 hours of light during vegetative growth. Triple G is a photoperiod strain, so she won't flower until you switch to 12/12. Veg for 4-6 weeks depending on your space — she stays medium-sized, so you don't need to flip early unless your tent is very short.
5. Switch to 12/12 to trigger flowering. Increase airflow and reduce humidity below 50% as buds develop. Defoliate the interior of the canopy every 1-2 weeks to prevent moisture buildup and improve light penetration.
6. Feed bloom nutrients from week 2 of flower onwards. Triple G is a heavy feeder during the fattening phase — watch for calcium and magnesium deficiencies, especially in coco.
7. Flush with plain water for the final 1-2 weeks before harvest. Watch the trichomes with a jeweller's loupe: harvest when most are milky white with 10-20% amber for maximum potency with a heavier body lean.
8. Dry in a dark room at 18-20°C and 55-60% humidity for 7-14 days, then cure in airtight jars for at least 2 weeks. The Gelato terps really develop during the cure — don't rush this step.
