Violet Glue
Also known as: Purple Glue
Violet Glue Strain Overview
Violet Glue is a hybrid cannabis strain that combines the genetics of Gorilla Glue #4 and a purple phenotype of an undisclosed indica strain. This strain emerged in the mid-2010s as breeders sought to create a visually striking variant of the popular Gorilla Glue lineage while maintaining its potent effects. The exact breeding history remains somewhat obscure, with multiple breeders claiming to have developed similar purple phenotypes of Gorilla Glue strains.
Visually, Violet Glue is distinguished by its vibrant purple coloration that develops in cooler temperatures, particularly during the final weeks of flowering. The buds are typically dense and resinous, covered in a thick layer of trichomes that give them a frosty appearance. The purple hues range from deep violet to lavender, often contrasted by bright orange pistils. The strain's aroma combines the diesel and chemical notes characteristic of Gorilla Glue #4 with sweet berry undertones from its purple parentage.
Violet Glue inherits the balanced hybrid effects of its Gorilla Glue #4 parent while adding a more pronounced body relaxation component. The strain has gained popularity among both recreational and medicinal users for its combination of cerebral stimulation and physical comfort. While not as widely documented as its parent strain, Violet Glue has developed a following in cannabis communities that appreciate its aesthetic appeal and reliable effects.

Violet Glue Strain Growing Information
Violet Glue is considered a moderately difficult strain to cultivate, suitable for growers with some experience. The flowering time typically ranges from 8 to 10 weeks indoors, with outdoor harvests occurring in late September to early October in northern hemisphere climates. Indoor yields average 400-500 grams per square meter, while outdoor plants can produce 500-600 grams per plant under optimal conditions.
The strain thrives in both indoor and outdoor environments but benefits from controlled temperature conditions to develop its characteristic purple coloration. Plants tend to be medium in height, reaching 100-150 cm indoors and 150-200 cm outdoors. To enhance purple pigmentation, growers often expose plants to cooler nighttime temperatures (10-15°C) during the final 2-3 weeks of flowering. Violet Glue responds well to training techniques like topping and low-stress training to manage its bushy growth structure. The plants are moderately resistant to common pests and molds but require good air circulation due to their dense bud structure.
