Antenna Gorilla Haze 2 by Antenna Seeds
Gorilla Genetics × Haze Genetics
Antenna Gorilla Haze 2 is a boutique hybrid developed by Antenna Seeds, aiming to combine the resin production of Gorilla genetics with the clear, uplifting qualities of Haze strains. This second iteration focuses on refining desirable traits for improved stability and potency.
Appearance
Antenna Gorilla Haze 2 produces notably resinous flowers that appear frosted due to dense trichomes. Buds can be chunky and dense, similar to Gorilla-type strains, or more tapered and spire-like, characteristic of Haze varieties. The calyx-to-leaf ratio is favorable, and pistils transition from apricot to orange hues, while bracts can display lavender flashes under cooler temperatures.
The cured flowers harden considerably, often described as dense as pebbles. Their surface may show a fine layer of kief, releasing a citrus-fuel aroma when disturbed. The buds maintain their shape well in storage, indicating a robust structure and thick resin content.
Aroma & Flavor
Upon grinding, Antenna Gorilla Haze 2 reveals a complex aroma blending lemon-lime zest, piney incense, and a diesel undertone. Dominant notes often include terpinolene and limonene, supported by caryophyllene and humulene, with subtle hints of linalool and ocimene.
The flavor profile on the inhale is frequently citrus-forward, featuring grapefruit and candy-like notes. The exhale introduces resinous pine and a spicy, glue-like essence. Vaping at lower temperatures may emphasize floral and citrus notes, while higher temperatures can bring out diesel and incense characteristics.
Effects
Consumers report that Antenna Gorilla Haze 2 delivers a balanced experience, beginning with a cerebral and focused sensation. This initial mental clarity gradually transitions into a more grounded, body-soothing feeling.
The strain is often described as promoting calmness and creativity, making it suitable for users seeking functional euphoria. The time-staggered effects provide a layered experience, appealing to both experienced users and those who appreciate a nuanced psychoactive profile.
Terpenes & Cannabinoids
Reported terpene profiles often include Myrcene, Limonene, Caryophyllene, Linalool, Pinene, Humulene, Terpinolene, and Ocimene, contributing to the strain's complex aroma and flavor. The specific dominant terpenes can vary between phenos, with some leaning towards the citrus and pine of Haze, while others exhibit the earthier, fuel-like notes associated with Gorilla genetics.
This cultivar is characterized by high THC levels, typically ranging from 21-25% by dry weight, with total cannabinoids potentially exceeding 28% in optimized growing conditions. CBD content is generally less than 1%, with minor cannabinoids like CBG present in trace to low amounts.
Growing
Antenna Gorilla Haze 2 is described as a medium-tall plant that can exhibit significant stretch, often 1.7-2.4x its size after the light flip. It responds well to training techniques like topping and SCROG, developing dense spears. Growers report a flowering time of approximately 9-11 weeks, a compromise between the faster Gorilla lineage and the longer Haze varieties.
The strain is noted for its resin production and bag appeal, making it attractive to hobby growers. It is generally considered to have manageable structure under cultivation, especially when employing training methods to control its height and promote even canopy development.
Origins & Lineage
Antenna Gorilla Haze 2 was bred by Antenna Seeds as a follow-up selection, indicated by the "2" in its name. It is a hybrid intended to merge the resin-rich characteristics of Gorilla genetics with the uplifting and clear-headed effects of classic Haze strains.
While the exact parentage is not officially published, it is widely interpreted as a cross between a Gorilla-type strain (often Glue-leaning) and a Haze variety (such as Super Silver Haze or Amnesia Haze). The "2" suggests a refined generation aimed at stabilizing key traits like vigor, yield, and terpene complexity.
