Gorilla Glue

Gorilla Glue, aka Original Glue, Gorilla Glue #4, or GG4, is a flavorful indica hybrid with perhaps one of the most mysterious stories a cannabis strain can tell! Why? Because the creation of this strain (drum roll) was a total fluke! A multiple award winner and champion of international competitions and cups, it certainly deserves attention and all the praise it deserves. Productive, adaptive, powerful, and without waxing too poetic, the perfect hybrid.

Genetics and Characteristics

Gorilla Glue is a feminized photoperiod indica-dominant (65/35) strain with a prohibitively high THC level, reaching an incredible 30% in some phenotypes, the result of a complex multi-lineage selection of unique and rather rare gems: Sour Diesel, Chem's Sister, Sour Dubb, and Chocolate Diesel.

A plant with a mixed structure, extensive lateral branching with short internodes, abundant formation of vegetative mass, and dense, pyramidal, incredibly resinous, and super sticky buds takes about 8-9 weeks to complete the flowering stage. Outdoors, you can expect to harvest about 600 g (21 oz) per single plant in mid-October. Indoors, a meticulous grower will reap about 500 g/m² (18 oz). Are you into potent extracts and hashish? Gorilla Glue is undoubtedly the best choice for your experiments with concentrates and culinary endeavors with edibles.

Flavor and Aroma

With an increased production of resin and terpenes, GG4 offers a pronounced organoleptic spectrum formed by a complex and appetizing composition of pine, citrus, earthy, and woody tones highlighted by chords of chocolate, coffee, acetone, fuel, and a slight sourness on exhalation.

Recreational and Medicinal Use

Gorilla Glue delivers a striking and long-lasting effect, combining an intense cerebral high with a deep body stone that borders on meditative nirvana. Experienced stoners know the secret of this strain. It charges with invigorating energy, significantly increasing concentration and brain activity, and with the same dynamic, it covers with a total relaxation. It is the perfect strain for daytime and evening use in a cheerful company or solo with your thoughts, which will slow their run and organize themselves in the right folders.

The broad terpene profile of Gorilla Glue promotes relief from depression, stress, anxiety, normalization of sleep, and appetite.

Cultivating

Versatile, resilient, and surprisingly easy to maintain, this hybrid is suitable for both novice and professional growers. GG4 is agile in development, with moderate elongation and vigorous formation of vegetative mass, which is reflected in the production of large buds and trichomes filled with fragrant resin.

When growing outdoors, pay special attention to balanced fertilization, and keep watering and feeding under control. If your climate is humid, regularly trim excess foliage to improve air circulation within the canopy. Do not forget about preventive measures to protect your garden from pests and pathogenic bacteria. Natural insecticides such as neem oil, aloe extract, garden soap, diatomaceous earth, etc. will be of great help in this regard.

Indoors, provide the plant with an optimal microclimate for each stage of development, stable lighting with full-spectrum LED panels, and consistent ventilation with adequate airflow. The best choice of containers is fabric grow bags or airpots with a capacity of at least 20 liters (5.3 gallons) filled with well-balanced organic soil supplemented with drainage components and mycorrhizae. The best option is to establish a watering and feeding schedule with mandatory monitoring of pH and ppm readings of the nutrient solution and runoff water. This approach will eliminate overwatering and overfeeding. We understand that you want to give the plant all your love and care, but do not be too fond of it... It will not do any good. Such over-parenting is destructive and occasionally fatal.

FAQ

What is the primary terpene profile?

Phellandrene, sabinene, bisabolol, limonene, and pinene.

What is the height of mature plants?

Indoors: up to 150 cm (59 inches). Outdoors: 180-220 cm (71-87 inches). We recommend the use of training techniques to form a squat profile of the plant: LST, FIM, stretching, and SoG/ScrOG, with special attention to the vegetative mass, which should be pruned regularly.

How long does it take for this strain to go through the vegetative stage?

When growing outdoors, focus on the length of the daylight hours. Indoors, adjust the height of the plant based on the size of your grow box or tent. Based on successful grow reports, gardeners typically stay in the vegetative phase for 4-5 weeks.
