Gold Glue
Also known as: GG4 Auto, Auto Gold Glue
Gold Glue Strain Overview
Gold Glue is an autoflowering cannabis strain developed by Mephisto Genetics, created by crossing their popular Gold Leaf strain with an autoflowering version of the legendary GG4 (formerly known as Gorilla Glue #4). This breeding project aimed to combine the desirable effects and flavors of the parent strains with the convenience and rapid growth cycle of autoflowering genetics. The strain was officially released in 2018 after extensive stabilization and testing, representing Mephisto Genetics' commitment to developing high-quality autoflowering varieties with photoperiod-like potency and characteristics.
Gold Glue plants typically exhibit a balanced hybrid structure with indica-dominant growth patterns, featuring dense, resinous buds that are often covered in a thick layer of trichomes. The flowers display a range of green hues with occasional purple undertones and vibrant orange pistils. The strain's name references both its golden trichome coverage and its genetic connection to the GG4 lineage, known for its exceptionally sticky resin production. Plants remain relatively compact, making them suitable for various growing environments including indoor spaces with height restrictions.
Notable features of Gold Glue include its autoflowering nature, which allows it to transition from vegetative growth to flowering based on age rather than light cycle changes. This characteristic makes it particularly appealing to novice growers or those seeking a low-maintenance cultivation experience. The strain has gained popularity within the autoflowering community for its reliable performance, consistent effects, and the preservation of desirable traits from both parent strains despite the autoflowering conversion process.

Gold Glue Strain Growing Information
Gold Glue is considered a beginner-friendly strain due to its autoflowering nature and resilient genetics. The flowering time typically ranges from 65-75 days from seed to harvest. Plants remain relatively compact, usually reaching 60-100 cm in height, making them suitable for both indoor and outdoor cultivation. Indoor growers can expect yields of approximately 400-500 grams per square meter under optimal conditions, while outdoor plants may produce 50-100 grams per plant. The strain performs well in various growing mediums including soil, coco coir, and hydroponic systems. Gold Glue is resistant to common molds and pests, though proper airflow should be maintained due to its dense bud structure. No special light cycle manipulation is required due to its autoflowering genetics, allowing for continuous light schedules if desired. The plants respond well to low-stress training techniques but may not tolerate heavy topping due to their limited vegetative period.
