Duct Tape Strain Overview
Duct Tape is a potent hybrid cannabis strain created by crossing the legendary Do-Si-Dos with the equally renowned GG4 (formerly known as Gorilla Glue #4). This strain emerged in the mid-2010s as breeders sought to combine the best traits of two award-winning parent strains. The name 'Duct Tape' references both its genetic lineage (playing on the 'glue' theme from GG4) and its reputation for delivering strong, long-lasting effects that some users describe as 'sticking' with them.
Visually, Duct Tape typically produces dense, resinous buds with a structure that leans toward its GG4 parentage. The nugs are often medium to large in size with a conical shape, displaying various shades of green with occasional purple hues when grown in cooler conditions. A thick coating of trichomes gives the buds a frosty, sticky appearance, while orange pistils provide contrasting color accents. The strain's aroma is complex, blending earthy, diesel-like notes from its GG4 heritage with sweeter, floral undertones inherited from Do-Si-Dos.
Duct Tape has gained popularity among both recreational and medicinal users for its balanced yet powerful effects. While technically classified as a hybrid, many users report effects that lean slightly toward the indica side, making it suitable for evening use. The strain has received recognition in cannabis competitions, though it remains less widely known than its parent strains. Its reputation centers on delivering consistent, potent effects with a complex flavor profile that appeals to experienced cannabis consumers.

Duct Tape Strain Growing Information
Duct Tape is considered a moderately difficult strain to cultivate, making it better suited for growers with some experience. The plants typically flower in 8-10 weeks when grown indoors, with outdoor harvests usually ready in late September to early October. Indoor yields are generally good, producing approximately 14-18 ounces per square meter, while outdoor plants can yield 16-20 ounces per plant under optimal conditions.
The plants tend to be medium in height, making them suitable for both indoor and outdoor cultivation. Indoor growers should monitor humidity carefully, as the dense buds are susceptible to mold and mildew if airflow is inadequate. Duct Tape responds well to training techniques like topping and low-stress training (LST) to maximize yields. The plants prefer a stable environment with consistent temperatures and benefit from nutrient regimens designed for high-THC strains. Outdoor cultivation is possible in Mediterranean climates or similar environments with plenty of sunlight.
