Gorilla Glue – The Stickiest Legend in the Cannabis World
Gorilla Glue is one of the most potent and sticky strains ever bred. It owes its name to the extreme resin production that literally "glues" scissors together during trimming, just like the eponymous US superglue. With THC levels of 25 to 30 percent it belongs to the absolute top tier – and as a breeding partner, it has sustainably shaped modern cannabis breeding.
At House of Seeds you will find Gorilla Glue cannabis seeds and GG crosses from top seedbanks like Barney’s Farm, 420 Fast Buds, Sweet Seeds and more – in feminized and autoflowering variants.
The Story of Gorilla Glue: A Lucky Accident
Gorilla Glue #4 – today officially mostly just called GG4 was created by a lucky accident. Breeders Joesy Whales and Lone Watie from GG Strains experienced an unintended pollination that produced a plant with exceptional traits. What started as an accident quickly became a sensation.
The strain won awards at Cannabis Cups and became the foundation for countless modern crosses. Due to trademark issues with the adhesive manufacturer, the strain was officially renamed GG4 – but the original name has long been established in the community.
Besides the legendary #4, there are other variants: GG #1 is more Sativa-heavy with euphoric energy, while GG #5 (New Glue) as a cross between GG#1 and GG#4 delivers even more intensity.
Genetics: Three Diesel Legends in One Plant
GG4 is a slightly Indica-dominant hybrid (about 60% Indica / 40% Sativa) from three heavyweights of the Chemdawg family:
Chem’s Sister provides the chemical sharpness and extreme trichome production from the legendary Chemdawg line. Sour Dubb brings the sour, diesel-like depth and potency. Chocolate Diesel is responsible for the sweet chocolatey undertone and the robust plant structure.
Effect: Heavy, euphoric, and uncompromising
Gorilla Glue is famous for the notorious “Couch-Lock” effect. It delivers a heavy, deep physical relaxation combined with a euphoric, almost numbing cerebral high. Ideal for late evenings when relaxation and letting go are the focus.
With THC levels of 25 to 30 percent GG4 is not for absolute beginners – but that’s exactly what makes it so popular among experienced consumers.
Aroma & Flavor: Diesel, pine, and a hint of chocolate
Gorilla Glue has a very intense, sharp aroma profile. It is dominated by a mix of Diesel, earth, and pine, typical of the Chemdawg family. The finish often reveals a surprisingly sweet chocolate note – the legacy of Chocolate Diesel – which gives the profile a pleasant depth.
Cultivation: High-yielding, resinous, and rewarding
Gorilla Glue is extremely popular with growers. The flowering time of 8 to 9 weeks is moderate, with yields of up to 500–600g/m² above average. Important: GG4 stretches massively in the first weeks of flowering and can double its size – early training (LST, SCROG) is recommended.
The absolute highlight is the extreme resin production. The buds are so sticky that scissors need constant cleaning during trimming. Breeders love GG4 as a crossing partner – it almost always passes on the sticky trichomes to its offspring.
