Alien Gorilla Glue
Alien Gorilla Glue
Also known as: Alien GG, AGG
Overview
Alien Gorilla Glue is a potent hybrid cannabis strain born from crossing the legendary Alien Technology and Gorilla Glue #4, representing a pinnacle of genetic engineering in the cannabis world. This mostly Indica strain features a 70% Indica and 30% Sativa composition, making it highly favored for its calming effects and robust growth characteristics. Alien Technology has its own unique story, created by making selections from landrace seeds acquired from a US soldier returning from Afghanistan, while Gorilla Glue #4 has reached legendary status in the cannabis world. The strain combines the best traits of both parents, with Alien Technology contributing strong environmental resistance and sedative properties, while Gorilla Glue #4 provides its trademark stickiness, high resin production, and powerful effects.
The buds are dense, sticky, and generously coated with trichomes, often displaying a crystalline sheen that makes them look like they came from the moon and are excessively covered with resinous trichomes. The terpene profile is rich in Myrcene, Caryophyllene, and Limonene, contributing to its distinctive aroma and flavor as well as therapeutic properties. With a flowering time of 8-10 weeks (58-63 days) and exceptional resin production, this strain is ideal for both recreational users seeking powerful effects and cultivators looking for high-quality, extract-worthy material.
