Guerrilla
Also known as: Guerrilla Glue, GG4, Original Glue
What is the Guerrilla strain?
Guerrilla is a hybrid cannabis strain with up to 28.0% THC, known for its relaxed effects and chemical and chocolate flavor profile.
Guerrilla, more commonly known as GG4 or Original Glue, is a highly potent hybrid cannabis strain that has gained significant popularity since its emergence in the early 2010s. The strain was accidentally created by breeder Joesy Whales through a cross between Chem's Sister, Sour Dubb, and Chocolate Diesel. Its name derives from the sticky resin production that can leave users feeling 'glued' to their seats, though the 'Guerrilla' name also references its underground origins and potent effects that can overwhelm inexperienced consumers. The strain gained notoriety after winning multiple Cannabis Cup awards, solidifying its status as a modern classic in the cannabis community.
Visually, Guerrilla plants produce dense, resin-coated buds with dark green leaves and vibrant orange pistils. The flowers are typically compact and heavy, with a thick coating of trichomes that gives them a frosted appearance. The strain's aroma profile is complex, combining chemical, diesel, and chocolate notes with earthy undertones. When properly cured, the buds emit a pungent scent that can be quite strong, making odor control important for growers and consumers alike.
Guerrilla is particularly notable for its exceptionally high THC content, which regularly tests between 20-28%, placing it among the most potent strains available. This potency, combined with its balanced hybrid effects, has made it a favorite among both recreational and medicinal users. The strain's genetics have been used extensively in breeding programs, contributing to numerous popular crosses and cementing its influence on contemporary cannabis cultivation.

How do you grow Guerrilla?
Guerrilla is considered moderately difficult to cultivate, making it better suited for growers with some experience. The plants have a flowering time of approximately 8-9 weeks indoors and are ready for harvest by mid-October when grown outdoors. Indoor yields are typically high, producing 500-600 grams per square meter under optimal conditions, while outdoor plants can yield 600-800 grams per plant. The strain performs well in both indoor and outdoor environments but prefers a Mediterranean-like climate with consistent temperatures. Plants tend to be medium to tall in height (100-180 cm) and require regular pruning and training to manage their vigorous growth. Special considerations include maintaining proper humidity control during flowering to prevent mold due to the dense bud structure, and providing strong support for branches that may become heavy with resinous flowers.
