White Truffle

Also known as: Gorilla Butter, White Truffle Butter, Truffle Butter

Breeder: Fresh Coast Seed Co. (original Gorilla Butter cross); BeLeaf Cannabis (phenotype selector and namer)

Lineage & Genetics

Cross: Gorilla Butter F2 phenotype selection (GG4 x Peanut Butter Breath)

Gorilla Glue #4 (GG Genetics): (Sour Dubb x Chem Sister) x Chocolate Diesel. Extreme resin production, high THC ceiling, sour/skunky/diesel terpenes, heavy body-forward effects, the sticky glue trichome trait. One of the most decorated cultivars in modern history. Peanut Butter Breath OGKB pheno (ThugPug Genetics): Do-Si-Dos x Mendo Breath F2 (Studly Spewright selection). Contributes savory/nutty complexity, intense resin production, vivid purple-to-black foliage expression, the peanut butter earthy flavor axis, and caryophyllene-dominant terp chemistry.

Terpene Profile

Aroma: Front notes of sharp diesel gas, kerosene, nail polish (acetone/solvent notes). Mid notes of garlic, earth, damp forest floor, mushroom/truffle (the signature). Back notes of roasted nuts, peanut butter, wood, and a sweet lemon/creme brulee undertone. BeLeaf's own description: gassy with tones of kerosene and nail polish along with garlic and earth, with sweet tones like lemon and creme brulee underneath.

Flavor: Inhale is earthy, nutty, diesel, pepper — smooth and layered with savory dominance. Exhale brings garlic-mushroom funk with a buttery, woody finish. Some phenotypes express mild sweetness (chocolate, hazelnut) on the backend. Consumer descriptions include crazy GMO/cookie funk, mossy, sage, garlic mushroom, onion, meat, and gas.

Effects & Experience

Onset: Quick-hitting cerebral rush within 0-15 minutes that clears the mind and elevates mood. Tingly sensations begin in face and scalp, spreading downward. Mental clarity and mild euphoria — not racy or anxious.

Relaxation washes over the body like a weighted blanket at 15-60 minutes. Euphoria deepens. GG4 genetics produce heavy limbs; PBB side adds hazy, meditative headspace. Good for creative activities, music, conversation. Sleepiness arrives around 40-minute mark at higher doses. Full couch-lock potential.

Duration: 2-4 hours depending on consumption method and tolerance.

Growing Characteristics

Grow Tips: White Truffle prefers low-to-moderate nutrient doses — overfeeding is the #1 beginner mistake. Start conservative at 50-75% of manufacturer's strength and increase only if plant shows deficiency. Higher nitrogen OK in veg. Reduce nitrogen in flower week 3+, increase P and K in moderation. Maintain consistent CalMag through flower especially under LED. pH 5.8-6.2 for coco/hydro, 6.0-6.7 for soil. Use sulfur-based supplement in late bloom to increase savory gassy notes. Living soil or compost teas enhance terpene complexity. UVB supplementation during weeks 6-9 stimulates resin production — this strain responds exceptionally well to UV stress. Silicon supplementation is a secret weapon for maximizing performance. Flush 10-14 days before harvest. Strain is leafy, bushy, and stretches significantly in flower. LST starting in veg, SCROG ideal for vigorous lateral branching, top once or twice in veg. Lollipopping in first two weeks of flower essential. Defoliation at day 21 of flower — remove large fan leaves blocking light. 3-5 gallon fabric pots recommended. PPFD target 800-1000 umol/m2/s. Bud rot (Botrytis) is primary threat due to extremely dense bud structure. Strict humidity control (40-45% in flower), aggressive defoliation for airflow, fans running 24/7 across and through canopy, monitor interior of densest colas. Generally hardy against common pests. If sourcing clones, verify HLVd testing — viroid-infected White Truffle will exhibit reduced trichome production and muted terpenes. Harvest at 80-90% milky/opaque for peak THC balanced effects; 70% milky + 20-30% amber for more body-heavy sedation. Start daily checks from week 7. Drop night temps to 60°F in final 2 weeks to trigger deep purple/near-black coloration — do not go below 62°F for extended periods. Dry whole branches inverted in dark room at 60-65°F, 55-60% RH for 10-14 days. Do NOT rush below 7 days — causes hay flavor and irreversible terpene loss. Cure in glass jars at 75% capacity with 62% Boveda. Minimum 4 weeks; 8+ weeks develops the full savory-truffle terpene complexity. The slow cure is what brings out the signature terp profile — this strain specifically rewards patience. Consider 48 hours of darkness before harvest (widely practiced for resin spike). Excellent candidate for solventless extraction due to extreme trichome density and full-melt resin quality.

History & Origin

Late 2010s: Fresh Coast Seed Co. (Michigan) breeds Gorilla Butter by crossing GG4 with Peanut Butter Breath (OGKB pheno). 2019: Fresh Coast backcrosses to F2 generation. 2020: BeLeaf Cannabis (Oklahoma) pheno-hunts a pack of Gorilla Butter F2 seeds and identifies a standout phenotype, naming it White Truffle for its aroma resembling Italian white truffles. The clone circulated as highly exclusive, commanding thousands of dollars per clone. 2020-2021: Spreads from Oklahoma connoisseur circles to California and Michigan. 2022: Wins 1st Place Indoor Solventless at the 18th Annual Emerald Cup, catapulting to elite national status. 2023: Named one of Leafly's 13 Trending Strains. BeLeaf releases S1 feminized seeds making genetics more accessible.
