Gorilla Glue #4 x Monster Cookies
Also known as: GG4 x Monster Cookies, Gorilla Monster, Monster Glue
Gorilla Glue #4 x Monster Cookies Strain Overview
Gorilla Glue #4 x Monster Cookies is a potent hybrid cannabis strain created by crossing two award-winning parent strains: Gorilla Glue #4 (also known as GG4) and Monster Cookies. This cross combines the legendary resin production and powerful effects of GG4 with the complex flavor profile and balanced genetics of Monster Cookies. The strain first emerged in the mid-2010s as breeders sought to create a variety that maintained the extreme potency of GG4 while introducing more nuanced terpene expressions.
The resulting hybrid typically displays dense, resin-coated buds with a structure that leans toward its GG4 parentage. The nugs are often medium to large in size, featuring a deep green coloration with occasional purple hues and vibrant orange pistils. A thick layer of trichomes gives the buds a frosty, sticky appearance that lives up to the 'glue' namesake. The strain has gained popularity among both recreational and medicinal users for its balanced yet powerful effects and complex aromatic profile.
Notable features include exceptional resin production that makes this strain particularly suitable for concentrate extraction. The genetics tend to be relatively stable, though phenotypes can vary between those expressing more GG4 characteristics (denser structure, stronger cerebral effects) and those leaning toward Monster Cookies (sweeter aroma, more balanced effects). The strain has become increasingly available through various seed banks and clone services, though it remains less common than its parent strains in mainstream markets.

Gorilla Glue #4 x Monster Cookies Strain Growing Information
This strain is considered moderately difficult to cultivate, making it better suited for growers with some experience. Flowering time typically ranges from 8 to 10 weeks indoors, with outdoor harvests occurring in mid to late October in northern hemisphere climates. Plants tend to be medium in height, reaching 3-5 feet indoors and 5-7 feet outdoors when given adequate space. Yield is generally high, with indoor growers reporting 14-18 ounces per square meter under optimal conditions and outdoor plants producing 16-20 ounces each.
The strain performs well in both indoor and outdoor environments but thrives in controlled indoor settings where temperature and humidity can be carefully managed. It prefers a Mediterranean-like climate when grown outdoors. Special considerations include managing the dense bud structure to prevent mold in high humidity conditions, particularly in the final weeks of flowering. The plants respond well to training techniques like topping and low-stress training (LST) to maximize light penetration and air circulation. Nutrient requirements are moderate to high, with particular attention needed during the flowering phase when resin production peaks.
