What is the Gorilla Glue strain?
Gorilla Glue is an indica-dominant hybrid. Lab tests put THC at 25% to 30%, with some samples above 30%. GG Strains, a breeder in Las Vegas, Nevada, made the cross. The strain has sold as GG4 since 2017. Flowering runs 8 to 9 weeks indoors.
Lineage
GG4 is a three-way cross:
- Chem Sister
- Sour Dubb
- Chocolate Diesel
GG Strains released five numbered versions. GG1, GG2, GG3, and GG5 exist, but GG4 is the cut found in most dispensaries. Breeder credits go to Joesy Whales and Lone Watty.
Where to Buy Gorilla Glue Strain Near Me: A Buying Guide
THC, CBD, and terpenes
THC: 25% to 30%. CBD: under 1%. Dominant terpenes are myrcene, caryophyllene, and limonene. Myrcene drives the sedative edge. Caryophyllene adds pepper and diesel notes. Limonene adds citrus.
Buds are dense and olive green with amber pistils and a thick trichome layer. The resin is sticky enough that trimming scissors jam.
Effects
Users report euphoria in the first 30 minutes, then body heaviness. Sedation arrives at higher doses. Reported uses include evening relaxation, pain, sleep, and appetite. New consumers should start at 1 to 2 mg THC given the 25%+ range.
Flavor and aroma
Earth, pine, diesel, and chocolate. Some batches carry coffee and sour notes. The smoke is thick.
Why the name changed to GG4
In 2017 the Gorilla Glue Company, an adhesive maker in Ohio, sent cease-and-desist letters over the trademark. GG Strains renamed the strain GG4 and stopped using "Gorilla Glue" on packaging and menus. Many shops still list the old name.
Growing notes
Photoperiod flowering: 8 to 9 weeks. Yield is high indoors and outdoors. Branches need support in late flower. The plant handles training and stretches to 2x size in the first three weeks of a 12/12 light cycle. Resin production peaks in week 7.
Legal status
Cannabis remains illegal under US federal law. State rules differ. Dispensary sales require age 21 and up in adult-use states, or a medical card where those programs run. Lab-tested flower with a printed THC label is the standard in legal shops.
