Raw Glue
Also known as: Original Glue, GG4
Raw Glue Strain Overview
Raw Glue, also commonly known as Original Glue or GG4 (Gorilla Glue #4), is a highly potent hybrid cannabis strain that has gained significant popularity in the cannabis community since its emergence in the early 2010s. The strain was accidentally created by breeders Joesy Whales and Mardogg when a Chem's Sister plant hermied and pollinated a Sour Dubb plant, with Chocolate Diesel added to the mix to create the final phenotype. This serendipitous breeding resulted in a strain that quickly became renowned for its exceptionally sticky resin production and powerful effects, earning it multiple Cannabis Cup awards and establishing it as a modern classic in cannabis culture.
The strain's name derives from its extremely resinous buds that are often described as being 'glued' to fingers and trimming scissors during handling. Raw Glue plants typically produce dense, chunky buds with a frosty appearance due to the heavy coating of trichomes. The coloration ranges from deep forest green to olive hues, often accented by vibrant orange pistils. The buds have a dense, compact structure that makes them appear smaller than they actually are, with a sticky texture that can be challenging to break apart without proper tools.
Notable characteristics include its complex aroma profile that combines fuel, chocolate, and pine notes, along with its reputation for delivering long-lasting, potent effects. The strain's genetic stability and consistent performance have made it a favorite among both recreational users and medical cannabis patients. Raw Glue has also become a popular parent strain in breeding programs due to its desirable traits, leading to numerous crosses and variations in the cannabis market.

Raw Glue Strain Growing Information
Raw Glue is considered a moderately difficult strain to cultivate, suitable 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 outdoors. Indoor yields typically range from 400-500 grams per square meter, while outdoor plants can produce 600-800 grams per plant under optimal conditions. The strain thrives in both indoor and outdoor environments but prefers a controlled indoor setting where temperature and humidity can be carefully managed. Plants tend to be medium to tall in height, often reaching 120-180 cm indoors and up to 200 cm outdoors. Special considerations include the need for good air circulation due to dense bud structure, regular pruning to manage canopy height, and careful handling during harvest due to the extremely sticky resin production. The plants respond well to training techniques like SCROG (Screen of Green) and require proper nutrient management to reach their full potential.
