GG-48
Also known as: GG48, Gorilla Glue 48, GG 48
What is the GG-48 strain?
GG-48 is a hybrid cannabis strain with up to 28.0% THC, known for its euphoric effects and bitter and citrus flavor profile.
GG-48 is a sativa-dominant hybrid cannabis strain created by Nirvana Seeds, combining genetics from the renowned Gorilla Glue (#4) and AK48. This strain represents the meeting of two powerhouse genetics: the sticky, resinous qualities of Gorilla Glue paired with the fast-flowering, landrace heritage of AK48, which itself contains Colombian Gold, Thai, Mexican, and Afghani genetics. The result is a potent hybrid that maintains a 75/25 sativa-to-indica ratio, offering growers and consumers the best of both worlds. GG-48 produces vigorous, slender plants with large internodal spacing, making it ideal for SCROG cultivation techniques and training methods. The strain develops large, dense, and compact flowers covered in a generous coating of resinous trichomes, reflecting its Gorilla Glue parentage. Indoor cultivation typically yields around 600g per square meter with a flowering period of approximately 10 weeks. The buds emit a complex aroma that combines woody, spicy, and floral notes on an earthy and slightly sweet background, with hints of cedar wood and a sour, bitter lemon undertone inherited from its diverse genetic lineage. GG-48 has gained recognition for its high resin production, making it particularly valuable for extraction purposes and concentrate production.

How do you grow GG-48?
GG-48 is considered moderately challenging to grow, best suited for cultivators with some experience. Indoor flowering time is approximately 10 weeks (70 days), producing yields of up to 600g per square meter. Plants tend to grow quite tall due to their sativa dominance, reaching heights that may require height management in indoor setups. The strain responds well to training techniques including SCROG (Screen of Green), LST (Low Stress Training), and super cropping due to its large internodal spacing. Fan leaves are large but thin, allowing good light penetration to lower branches. GG-48 can be cultivated both indoors and outdoors, though indoor cultivation allows for better environmental control. The autoflowering version is also available, completing its full cycle in about 10 weeks from seed to harvest, reaching heights of 90-130cm. The strain produces dense, resin-heavy buds that require careful attention to prevent mold during late flowering stages. Its high resin production makes it excellent for extraction purposes but can make trimming more challenging.
