Guptilla
Gupta Kush × Gorilla Glue #4
Guptilla is a modern indica-dominant hybrid known for its high potency and resin production. It emerged in the mid-2010s from a wave of American genetics, likely combining characteristics of Kush strains with the popular Gorilla Glue.
Appearance
Guptilla typically produces medium to large, densely packed flowers with a conical or spear shape. The buds are known for their heavy coating of trichomes, giving them a frosted appearance. Pistils are often rusty or copper, and some phenotypes may display faint purple hues along the bracts under cooler temperatures. The flowers retain a sticky texture when properly cured.
Aroma & Flavor
This strain is characterized by a pungent aroma often described as a blend of diesel and pine, with underlying earthy and herbal notes. Its flavor profile mirrors its scent, featuring prominent citrus and lemon notes alongside diesel, mint, and lavender undertones.
Effects
Guptilla is reported to deliver a potent experience, with users noting a focused sensation. Its indica-dominant nature suggests it may also provide relaxing physical effects, though specific details on this are not extensively documented in the provided notes.
Terpenes & Cannabinoids
Guptilla is recognized for its high THC content, typically testing between 22-28%, with minimal CBD. The terpene profile is influenced by its likely lineage, with Myrcene, Limonene, Caryophyllene, Pinene, Humulene, Ocimene, and Eucalyptol commonly associated with its aroma and effects.
Growing
Cultivating Guptilla is considered moderately challenging, requiring attention to nutrient demands typical of Kush varieties. The plant exhibits moderate stretch during flowering and benefits from topping and support structures to manage its dense colas. It is noted for producing abundant resin, making it suitable for extraction.
Origins & Lineage
The exact lineage of Guptilla is not definitively documented, but it is widely believed to be a cross between Gupta Kush and Gorilla Glue #4 (GG4). The name itself suggests this combination, hinting at a heritage shaped by the resinous qualities of Gorilla Glue and the robust nature of Kush strains. It gained popularity as a clone-only variety and through small seed drops.
