Steps to a successful Respect 4 Gorilla harvest

1. Start Strong: Germinate in a warm, humid environment. For a hassle-free start and explosive root development, consider a product like Bactofil from Agrobacterias.
2. Establish Vigor: Transplant into its final pot early. It thrives in both soil and coco substrates. Maintain a vegetative photoperiod of 18/6.
3. Guide the Growth: This plant responds well to low-stress training (LST) to maximize light penetration and bud sites. Its moderate stretch during the flowering transition is easy to manage.
4. Fuel the Flowering: Switch to a 12/12 light cycle to induce flowering. Support heavy branches in late flower. For dense, resin-packed buds, a bloom booster like Advanced PK during peak weeks can be highly effective.
5. Harvest with Precision: Watch the trichomes. Harvest when most are milky with some amber for a balanced effect. Dry slowly at 18–22 °C (64–72 °F) and 50–60% RH, then cure for optimal flavor.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is Respect 4 Gorilla good for beginners?

Its robust genetics and forgiving nature make it a solid choice for growers moving past their first harvest. Beginners can succeed with attention to basic watering and feeding schedules.

How does the CBD affect the high?

The CBD content (approx. 2%) helps temper the intense psychoactivity of the high-THC Gorilla Glue genetics. Users report a more balanced, clear-headed, and less anxious experience compared to pure high-THC strains, while still enjoying a strong euphoric and creative lift.

What's the best way to train this plant?

It responds excellently to Low-Stress Training (LST) due to its sturdy branches and indica structure. Topping once or twice during early vegetative growth can also help create a bushier, more productive plant. Avoid overly aggressive defoliation.

How discreet is the smell during growth?

The aroma is pronounced, especially in late flowering, with strong earthy, pine, and citrus notes. Using a high-quality carbon filter is highly recommended for indoor cultivation to manage the signature Gorilla Glue funk.

Can I grow this strain outdoors in cooler climates?

Its GG4 heritage gives it good mold resistance, but it's best suited for a Mediterranean or similar climate with a long, warm autumn. In cooler regions, a greenhouse or an early start is advisable to ensure it finishes before the first frosts.

Personal Experience of Pevgrow’s CEO (Alan)

I've run Respect 4 Gorilla a few times now, and it's become a staple in my medicinal garden. What really stands out is how it manages to be both a heavy yielder and a genuinely pleasant smoke. The high is exactly what I look for after a long day: deeply relaxing without being couch-locking, and mentally it's like a warm, creative hug. The CBD presence is noticeable; it takes the edge off the anxiety that sometimes comes with pure sativa-leaning hybrids. In the tent, it's a dream to manage. It stays relatively compact, and the branches are thick enough to hold those fat buds without much support. I push it with light feeding, and it just gobbles it up. My pro-tip? Don't rush the dry and cure. That complex terpene profile of sweet earth and sharp citrus really shines after a proper 4-week cure—it's worth the wait.
