OS Glue
Also known as: Original Glue, Gorilla Glue #4, GG4
What is the OS Glue strain?
OS Glue is a hybrid cannabis strain with up to 28.0% THC, known for its relaxed effects and citrus and coffee flavor profile.
OS Glue, more commonly known as Original Glue or Gorilla Glue #4 (GG4), is a highly potent hybrid cannabis strain that has gained widespread recognition in the cannabis community. The strain was originally developed by GG Strains, a relatively unknown breeding team, and first gained prominence after winning the 2014 and 2015 Cannabis Cups. Its name derives from the sticky resin production that can make trimming tools and fingers adhere together, reminiscent of actual glue. The strain's genetics combine three legendary parent strains, resulting in a complex profile that has made it a favorite among both recreational users and medical patients.
The plant exhibits a distinctive appearance with dense, chunky buds that are typically lime green in color, accented by vibrant orange pistils and a thick coating of frosty trichomes. The buds are often irregularly shaped with a somewhat foxtailed structure, contributing to their unique visual appeal. OS Glue is renowned for its powerful effects that begin with a cerebral rush before transitioning into full-body relaxation, making it a versatile strain suitable for various times of day depending on dosage.
Notably, OS Glue has become one of the most cloned and commercially cultivated strains in North America due to its reliable growth characteristics and consistent effects. The strain has spawned numerous phenotypes and crosses, though the original GG4 cut remains highly sought after by connoisseurs. Its popularity has led to some legal trademark disputes over the name 'Gorilla Glue,' prompting many growers and dispensaries to use alternative names like OS Glue or Original Glue to avoid infringement issues.

How do you grow OS Glue?
OS Glue is considered a moderately difficult strain to cultivate, requiring some experience to achieve optimal results. The plants typically flower in 8-10 weeks indoors, with outdoor harvests ready around mid-October in northern hemisphere climates. Indoor yields are substantial, averaging 450-550 grams per square meter, while outdoor plants can produce 600-800 grams per plant under ideal conditions. The strain thrives in both indoor and outdoor environments but prefers a controlled indoor setting where temperature and humidity can be carefully managed.
The plants exhibit a medium to tall height, often reaching 120-180 cm indoors and potentially exceeding 200 cm outdoors. OS Glue requires good air circulation and careful monitoring for mold and mildew due to its dense bud structure. The plants respond well to training techniques like topping and low-stress training (LST) to maximize yields and manage height. Nutrient requirements are moderate to high during flowering, with particular attention needed during the final weeks when resin production peaks. The strain is known for its pungent aroma during flowering, requiring effective odor control measures in indoor grows.
