GG #4 Strain Overview
GG #4, also known as Original Glue or Gorilla Glue #4, is a legendary hybrid strain created by Joesy Whales and Lone Watie of GG Strains through a three-way cross of Chem's Sister, Sour Dubb, and Chocolate Diesel. This award-winning strain gained recognition after winning first place in both the Michigan and Los Angeles 2014 Cannabis Cups, as well as the High Times Jamaican World Cup in 2015. The strain earned its name from the ultra-sticky resin that often gums up scissors during harvest. GG #4 is an indica-dominant hybrid with 63% indica and 37% sativa genetics.
The strain is characterized by dark green buds with amber-colored accents and orange hairs, featuring a thick texture due to the large number of white trichomes covering each bud, making it an extremely sticky strain. The abundant trichome production is what gives Gorilla Glue #4 its nickname, as the resin literally 'glues' up trimming scissors when harvesting. The strain boasts a pungent, earthy scent with diesel and sour notes, while some users also detect hints of coffee, chocolate, pine, citrus, and sometimes even bubblegum aromas due to its unique lineage. The result of extensive backcrossing, GG #4 earned its reputation from both the sticky, glue-like resin that collects on trimming scissors and the intense couch-lock sensation that metaphorically glues users to their seats.

GG #4 Strain Growing Information
Growing GG #4 with standard or feminized seeds is considered to be moderate difficulty and produces high yields. The flowering time is typically 8-10 weeks under optimal conditions. Indoor plants usually produce around 18 ounces per plant, while outdoor plants can yield around 21 ounces per plant. A major challenge for growers is the extraordinary height this cultivar can reach, which is why applying SCROG methods or similar training techniques may be necessary for indoor growing. The strain prefers temperatures around 74-78°F with relative humidity around 45% and has heavy water requirements. For nutrients, less is more - the strain is easier to handle when increasing nutrients rather than reducing them, as overfeeding is common and the plant doesn't respond well to it. GG #4 thrives in warm, sunny climates and can tolerate dry periods as well as some wind, preferring slightly cooler nighttime temperatures.
