Gorilla Glue FV
Also known as: GG FV, Gorilla Glue Fast Version
Gorilla Glue FV Strain Overview
Gorilla Glue FV (Fast Version) is a photoperiod cannabis strain developed by breeders seeking to retain the potent characteristics of the original Gorilla Glue #4 while reducing its flowering time. This strain maintains the genetic profile of its predecessor but has been selectively bred for faster maturation, making it appealing to cultivators who want the signature Gorilla Glue effects with a shorter cultivation cycle. The 'FV' designation specifically indicates this accelerated flowering trait, distinguishing it from the standard Gorilla Glue #4.
The strain exhibits dense, resinous buds with a characteristic coating of trichomes that give it a frosty appearance. The coloration typically ranges from deep green to olive, often with subtle purple hues when exposed to cooler temperatures during cultivation. The buds are compact and tightly packed, with orange pistils weaving through the floral structures. The aroma profile is complex, combining earthy, pine, and diesel notes with a distinct chemical undertone that some users describe as reminiscent of glue or rubber.
Gorilla Glue FV has gained popularity among both recreational and medicinal users due to its balanced hybrid effects and reduced cultivation time. While it shares many characteristics with Gorilla Glue #4, the FV variant is specifically noted for its quicker flowering period, typically 7-9 weeks compared to the original's 8-10 weeks. This makes it particularly valuable for commercial growers and home cultivators seeking efficient production cycles without sacrificing the strain's renowned potency and resin production.

Gorilla Glue FV Strain Growing Information
Gorilla Glue FV is considered a moderate-difficulty strain to cultivate, suitable for growers with some experience. The flowering time is 7-9 weeks, significantly faster than the original Gorilla Glue #4. Plants typically reach medium to tall heights, with indoor plants growing 100-150 cm and outdoor plants potentially reaching 200 cm or more. The strain performs well both indoors and outdoors, preferring a Mediterranean-like climate with consistent temperatures. Expected yields are moderate to high, with indoor growers reporting 400-500 grams per square meter and outdoor growers achieving 500-600 grams per plant. Special considerations include providing adequate support for the heavy, resinous buds and maintaining proper humidity control to prevent mold. The strain responds well to training techniques like topping and low-stress training to maximize yield and manage height.
