What is the GG4 strain?
GG4 is a hybrid cannabis strain with up to 32.0% THC, known for its relaxed effects and chocolate and citrus flavor profile.
GG4, formerly known as Gorilla Glue #4, is a potent indica-dominant hybrid strain that has achieved legendary status in the cannabis world since its accidental creation in 2009. Originally bred by GG Strains (founded by Don Peabody aka Joesy Whales and Ross Johnson aka Lone Watty) in Nevada, this strain emerged from an unexpected pollination between Chem's Sister and Sour Dubb plants, later refined with Chocolate Diesel genetics. The strain gained widespread recognition after its commercial release in 2014, earning multiple Cannabis Cup victories in Michigan, Los Angeles, and the High Times Jamaican World Cup in 2015.
GG4 is renowned for its extremely sticky, resinous buds that earned its name from the glue-like resin that collects on trimming scissors during cultivation. The strain features dense, chunky buds with dark green coloration, amber accents, bright orange pistils, and an abundant coating of crystalline white trichomes that create a frosty, glistening appearance. With genetics typically showing 60-63% indica and 37-40% sativa characteristics, GG4 delivers a balanced experience that begins with euphoric cerebral effects before transitioning into deep physical relaxation and the signature 'couch-lock' sensation that has made it famous among cannabis connoisseurs.
