Where Gorilla Grapes Comes From
Leafly credits Dungeon Vault Genetics and lists the parents as Original Glue and Vino OG. AllBud gives the parents as Gorilla Glue #4 and Vino OG, which is a different naming of the Glue side. Original Glue and Gorilla Glue #4 are closely related names but not identical, and I could not confirm which the breeder used, so the Glue parent is given as Leafly lists it.
Leafly lists Homewrecker as a strain descended from it. I found no breeder release notes beyond these listings.
Gorilla Grapes Effects: What It Feels Like
Leafly reviewers list relaxed, happy and focused as the top effects, and the overall verdict is mostly calming. AllBud describes a quick cerebral rush that turns foggy and euphoric, followed by a sedating body high. Both point to an evening-leaning strain.
Given the spread in THC reports, from about 17% to 30%, a new batch deserves a small first dose.
