Gorilla Glue #4

Gorilla Glue #4 (GG#4), also known as Original Glue, is a highly acclaimed hybrid cannabis strain with a rich lineage derived from crossing Chem's Sister, Sour Dubb, and Chocolate Diesel. This strain is predominantly indica, with a genetic makeup of approximately 60-63% indica and 37-40% sativa, known for its potent effects and distinctive aroma.

Effects:

GG#4 is celebrated for its heavy-hitting, long-lasting effects which start with a cerebral buzz leading to euphoria and happiness. This quickly transitions into profound physical relaxation, often described as "couch-lock," making it ideal for evening use.

Users often report feeling relaxed, sleepy, and hungry, which makes GG#4 a popular choice for managing stress, anxiety, pain, insomnia, and appetite loss.

Aroma and Flavor:

The strain boasts a complex aroma profile that includes pungent, earthy, piney notes with undertones of chocolate and diesel. Its flavor similarly blends earthiness with sweet and sometimes spicy hints, providing a rich sensory experience.

Appearance:

The buds of GG#4 are dense, chunky, and covered in a sticky layer of resinous trichomes, which gives the strain its name due to the glue-like consistency. The flowers are typically a dark green with amber hairs and a frosty appearance.

THC Content:

GG#4 is known for its high THC levels, ranging from 18-32%, with some phenotypes reaching up to 33.5%, making it one of the most potent strains on the market.

Medicinal Use:

Due to its strong sedative effects, GG#4 is highly appreciated in the medical cannabis community for treating conditions like chronic pain, depression, fatigue, insomnia, and various forms of discomfort or distress.

Cultivation:

This strain is adaptable to both indoor and outdoor growth, with a flowering time of about 8-10 weeks. It's noted for being relatively easy to grow, although it can produce very sticky buds which might be challenging during harvest and trimming.

History and Recognition:

Originally bred by GG Strains LLC, GG#4 has won multiple awards, including first place in the Michigan and Los Angeles Cannabis Cups in 2014 and the High Times Jamaican World Cup in 2015. Its name was changed from Gorilla Glue #4 to Original Glue due to a legal dispute with Gorilla Glue, the adhesive company.

The strain has become a staple in the cannabis world, revered for both its recreational and medicinal benefits, with its genetics being used to create numerous other popular strains. Its reputation is further solidified by posts on social platforms like X, where users share experiences and praises for its effectiveness and unique qualities.
