Elmer's Glue
Elmer's Glue
Also known as: Elmers Glue
Overview
Elmer's Glue is a potent hybrid cannabis strain developed by Relentless Genetics, created by crossing the legendary Gorilla Glue #4 (GG4) with The White. This strain represents a balanced hybrid with genetics typically showing 50% indica and 50% sativa characteristics, though some phenotypes may lean slightly indica-dominant (60% indica/40% sativa). Named for its incredibly sticky, resinous buds that resemble the adhesive properties of its namesake, Elmer's Glue has quickly gained recognition in the cannabis community for its exceptional potency and complex effects profile.
The strain exhibits dense, compact buds that are heavily coated with white trichomes, inheriting the frosted appearance from its White parent while maintaining the potency and sticky texture of the Gorilla Glue lineage. Buds typically display pale sage green coloration with copper-colored pistils and an almost white dusting of crystalline trichomes. The flowers tend to be smaller in size but cluster together to form larger, dense nuggets that are extremely tacky to the touch. With THC levels regularly testing between 20-28% and minimal CBD content, Elmer's Glue is considered a high-potency strain suitable for experienced users rather than beginners.

Growing Information
Elmer's Glue is considered moderately easy to grow and suitable for both indoor and outdoor cultivation. Indoor flowering time ranges from 8-10 weeks (approximately 63-70 days), with some sources citing a more specific 9-10 week period. Plants tend to be short to medium height, growing 2.5-5 feet indoors and up to 60-80 inches outdoors depending on conditions. Indoor yields typically range from 1-2 ounces per square foot (approximately 400-450 grams per square meter), while outdoor plants can produce 15-20 ounces per plant. The strain responds well to training methods including SCROG (Screen of Green), LST (Low Stress Training), and HST (High Stress Training). Optimal growing conditions include temperatures between 70-80°F (21-26°C) with humidity levels of 40-60% during vegetative stage, dropping to 40-50% during flowering to prevent mold issues. Plants may double in height during flowering and require pruning for proper light penetration and airflow. Outdoor harvest typically occurs in early to mid-October.
