Gorilla Glue, also dubbed GG4, Original Gorilla, or Gorilla Glue #4 is an Indica-dominant hybrid that speaks volumes throughout the cannabis community. With every right to be worshiped, this 37% Sativa 63% Indica hybrid has seriously pungent chunky buds courtesy of its parents, Chocolate Diesel and Chem’s Sister, Sour Dubb.

The strain’s delightful mix of peppery pine and chocolate-covered earth contributes to a natural and enjoyable flavor and aroma. Caryophyllene dominates the terpene composition, enhancing the strain’s overall appeal. With minor notes of Myrcene and Limonene, the Gorilla Glue strain has a well-rounded terpene profile that could satisfy any craving.

Further cultivation tips for the Gorilla Glue strain remain in its growing environment. Low humidity is recommended to reduce the likelihood of mold in GG4’s large dense colas along with proper trellis support to avoid stress. Airflow, proper ventilation, and well-draining soil will also aid in the flourishing of healthy flower when it comes to the Gorilla Glue strain.
Originally Bred by GG Strains LLC, this strain continues to take off in the industry. With its newer crosses such as Glueberry, New Glue, and GG#1 it makes consumers question if Gorilla Glue will ever step down from its throne.
