Gorilla Glue 4 R.I.L.
Also known as: GG4 R.I.L., Gorilla Glue #4 R.I.L.
Gorilla Glue 4 R.I.L. Strain Overview
Gorilla Glue 4 R.I.L. is a specific phenotype of the renowned Gorilla Glue #4 (GG4) strain, distinguished by its development through a 'Reverse IBL' (R.I.L.) breeding process. This method, short for Reverse Inbred Line, involves a specialized backcrossing technique intended to stabilize and enhance desirable traits from the original GG4, potentially resulting in a more consistent expression of its potent effects and complex terpene profile. The strain was developed to capture the essence of the award-winning GG4 while aiming for greater genetic uniformity.
The appearance of Gorilla Glue 4 R.I.L. buds is typically dense and resinous, often displaying a frosty coating of trichomes that gives them a sticky, 'glue-like' texture—a hallmark of the GG4 lineage. The coloration can range from deep forest green to hues of purple, frequently accentuated by vibrant orange pistils. The aroma is complex and pungent, often described as a blend of earthy pine, sour diesel, and subtle chocolate or coffee notes, inherited from its parent strains.
Notable features include its exceptionally high THC content and the heavy, resinous bud structure that makes it a favorite for concentrate production. The R.I.L. designation suggests a breeding focus on reliability, though as a specific phenotype, its availability may be more limited compared to the more widely distributed standard GG4. Consumers should verify the authenticity of this specific cut, as the 'R.I.L.' label indicates a particular breeding project rather than a universally standardized product.

Gorilla Glue 4 R.I.L. Strain Growing Information
Gorilla Glue 4 R.I.L. is considered a moderate-difficulty strain to cultivate, suitable for intermediate growers. The flowering time is approximately 8 to 9 weeks indoors. When grown outdoors, it is ready for harvest around mid to late October in the Northern Hemisphere. It can be grown successfully both indoors and outdoors, preferring a warm, semi-humid climate with consistent temperatures. Indoor yields are typically high, often reaching 500-600 grams per square meter, while outdoor plants can produce 600 grams or more per plant. The plant tends to be of medium height, but can stretch significantly during the flowering stage, requiring some height management. Special considerations include its dense bud structure, which necessitates good airflow to prevent mold and mildew, and support for branches heavy with resinous flowers. The R.I.L. breeding may offer more phenotypic stability than the original GG4.
