Platinum Glue
Platinum Glue
Also known as: Platinum Gorilla, Platinum Gorilla Glue, Platinum G.G.
Overview
Platinum Glue is an indica-dominant hybrid strain (approximately 65% indica, 35% sativa) created by crossing Gorilla Glue #4 with Platinum Kush. First bred in Colorado, this strain is distinctly similar to its parents in flavor and aroma. The buds are cemented together with a hefty layer of golden trichomes that coat the entirety of the bud, with patches of light and dark green detected under this golden layer. The strain gained recognition for being one of the most potent strains in the world, combining the intensity of the original Gorilla Glue with the deeper body effects of Platinum Kush genetics. Known for its couch locking and body melting experience, fans of Platinum Glue have shared its effects to be euphoric and relaxing, scoring high marks in pain management. The strain's resinous nature and platinum-like trichome coverage give it its distinctive silvery appearance that inspired its name.

Growing Information
These challenging-to-grow plants reach medium heights and benefit greatly from LST and some pruning early on. The longer-than-average flowering phase takes around 85 days to complete, with yields ranging up to 450g/m² if grown under the watchful eye of a patient and knowledgeable grower. Can be cultivated indoors and outdoors with a flowering time of approximately 60 days according to some sources, though other sources indicate around 85 days. Given how compact and resinous the flowers tend to get, growers want to employ fungal and plague-preventative products to ensure the best yield. With careful tending, growers should be rewarded with a strong harvest in roughly 56-63 days. The strain requires moderate to advanced growing experience due to its susceptibility to mold and mildew.
