Also known as: GG4, Gorilla Glue #4, Glue, GG #4
What is the Original Glue strain?
Original Glue is a hybrid cannabis strain with up to 32.0% THC, known for its relaxed effects and chemical and chocolate flavor profile.
Original Glue, formerly known as Gorilla Glue #4 (GG4), is a legendary indica-dominant hybrid (63% indica/37% sativa) created through an accidental cross between Chem's Sister, Sour Dubb, and Chocolate Diesel. The strain emerged from a serendipitous accident in 2009 when Nevada-based breeders Joesy Whales (Don Peabody) and Lone Watty (Ross Johnson) of GG Strains encountered a hermaphroditic plant that pollinated their grow room. This accident led to the discovery of what would become one of the most celebrated and award-winning cannabis strains in history.
The strain earned its distinctive name from the incredibly sticky, resinous trichomes that coat the buds so thoroughly that scissors and fingers become glued together during trimming. Original Glue has achieved legendary status in the cannabis community, winning numerous prestigious awards including first place at the 2014 High Times Cannabis Cups in Michigan and Los Angeles, the 2015 World Cannabis Cup in Jamaica, and the 2018 Spannabis Cannabis Championship Cup. The strain exhibits dense, chunky olive-green buds with long amber hairs and a thick coating of bright white crystal trichomes, giving it a distinctive frosty appearance. Known for its exceptional potency with THC levels reaching up to 32%, Original Glue has become a staple for both recreational and medical users seeking powerful effects and therapeutic benefits.

How do you grow Original Glue?
Original Glue is considered moderately difficult to grow, requiring careful attention due to its tendency toward hermaphroditism inherited from its accidental origins. The strain has a flowering time of 8-10 weeks (58-63 days) and produces high yields both indoors and outdoors, with indoor grows capable of producing 3-3.5 pounds per thousand-watt light setup. Plants are vigorous and space-hungry, responding well to pruning and training techniques. Indoor cultivation is preferred for discretion due to the strain's intense aroma. The plants thrive in stable temperature and humidity conditions to minimize stress and prevent hermaphroditic tendencies. Outdoor growers should expect harvest by late September in southern climates. The strain's exceptional resin production makes trimming challenging but rewarding.
