The Gorgon

The Gorgon is a evenly balanced hybrid (50% indica/50% sativa) strain with a character all of its own. This well-regarded bud boasts a THC level that ranges from 21-27% on average, with 0.4% CBD. It is sold as regular seeds, and it remains one of the most requested cuts in its class year after year.

The The Gorgon high balances both sides of its lineage: a happy head buzz up front, and a soothing physical warmth that follows a few minutes behind. Neither side ever overpowers the other, which is exactly why well-bred hybrids like this one earn permanent shelf space. Because of these effects, The Gorgon is often chosen for managing chronic stress, muscle tension and mild to moderate depression, especially by those who want relief without reaching for anything heavier.

On the palate, expect coffee and diesel up front, backed by an aroma that fills the room the moment the jar opens. Each exhale leaves a coffee-tinged aftertaste that keeps you coming back for one more taste. This bud has dense grape-shaped vivid green nugs with warm amber tones, fiery orange hairs and a sticky layer of golden-white trichomes.

For growers, The Gorgon offers a manageable grow for anyone with a harvest or two behind them — expect plants flowering in a standard 9-10 weeks, at home indoors or outdoors. Given steady feeding and a little light training, it rewards the effort with heavy, resin-coated colas. Plants stretch to a medium height with strong side branching, equally at home in a tent or a garden bed.
