Glue
Also known as: Gorilla Glue, GG4, Original Glue
Glue Strain Overview
Glue, commonly known as Gorilla Glue or GG4, is a highly potent hybrid cannabis strain that has gained widespread popularity since its creation in the early 2010s. The strain was developed by accident when breeders at GG Strains were attempting to create a new strain and instead produced this exceptionally sticky, resinous variety. The name 'Gorilla Glue' references both the strain's powerful adhesive-like resin production and its ability to 'glue' users to their seats with its strong effects. Due to trademark concerns with the Gorilla Glue adhesive brand, the strain is often marketed as 'Original Glue' or simply 'Glue' in legal markets.
The strain is characterized by its dense, chunky buds that are typically olive green with vibrant orange pistils and a thick coating of frosty trichomes. The visual appearance is often described as 'sparkling' due to the exceptional resin production. Glue plants produce a complex aroma profile that combines earthy, pine, and diesel notes with subtle hints of chocolate and coffee. The flavor follows a similar pattern, with a smooth smoke that delivers a combination of earthy, woody, and slightly sweet notes on the exhale.
Glue has become one of the most recognized and awarded strains in the cannabis community, winning multiple Cannabis Cup awards. Its popularity stems from its consistently high THC content, reliable effects, and exceptional resin production that makes it valuable for both recreational use and extraction purposes. The strain's balanced hybrid nature provides effects that many users find versatile for various times of day, though its potency means it may be overwhelming for novice consumers.

Glue Strain Growing Information
Glue is considered a moderately difficult strain to cultivate, making it better suited for intermediate to advanced growers. The plants have a flowering time of approximately 8-9 weeks indoors and are ready for harvest in late September to early October when grown outdoors. Indoor yields are typically high, ranging from 500-600 grams per square meter, while outdoor plants can produce 600-800 grams per plant under optimal conditions.
The plants tend to grow medium to tall in height and require regular pruning and training to manage their vigorous growth. Glue prefers a Mediterranean-like climate with consistent temperatures and moderate humidity when grown outdoors. Indoor cultivation requires good ventilation and air circulation to prevent mold, as the dense buds are susceptible to moisture retention. The strain is known for producing exceptionally sticky resin that can complicate trimming and handling, often requiring freezing or special techniques for processing.
