Gorilla Glue #4, or GG#4, or Original Glue, is one of the most influential cannabis strains of the modern era. While GG#4 was born out of an accident, this powerhouse hybrid is now the backbone of cannabis culture today.
The legend behind GG#4 reads almost like cannabis lore. It was bred by Joesy Whales and Lone Watty in the early 2010s. Aside from this legendary pedigree, GG#4 is the hybrid child of a hermaphrodite pollination (which is what GG#4 ended
up becoming). Its genetic profile includes Chem’s Sister, Sour Dubb, and Chocolate Diesel, and the resulting terpene profile is complex and delivers both cerebral stimulation and bodily relaxation.
Like most examples of cannabis genetics, Popcorn Gorilla Glue #4, in London and across the UK, is a breeding accident that shows us how the wonder of cannabis genetics can surprise even the most seasoned of cultivators. What GG#4
started as a possible total crop loss that has now turned into one of the most sought-after strains around the world.
GG#4 flowers can develop a unique look which makes it pretty easy to pick out. The flowers develop a sticky, dense cluster of buds covered in a thick layer of trichomes that gives it an almost frost appearance. The term Gorilla Glue
derives from this potent stickiness—for example, when handling fresh GG#4 buds, the flowers literally glue your fingers together.
The term “popcorn” refers to the smaller, secondary buds that develop lower on the plant. The secondary colas are often the same quality and terpene profile as the main colas, and they can be a more affordable option for consumers.
Popcorn buds from the finest GG#4 plants still provide the full experience at a lower price.
The various terpenes create a very complex enjoyment. The strongest influence is myrcene producing earthy, musky base notes, and caryophyllene gives spicy pepper undertones, while limonene provides citrus brightness that breaks through
the heavy aromas.
When fresh, GG#4 has pungent diesel fuel scents, with chocolate and coffee notes from the Chocolate Diesel lineage. The smoke or vapor is pine and earthy flavors with a sweetness that becomes more apparent on slower consumption.
GG#4 is 20-25% THC, so this is not for the novice user. It hits the user with an immediate head high that can be euphoric, allowing for creativity and social interactions. The head high subsides into a full-body high with the potential
to sedate.
The effects of GG#4 are predictable. The high starts with mental clarity and a feeling of well-being within minutes of consumption. The peak high is about 30-45 minutes and can last 2-4 hours depending on your tolerance and consumption
method.
A lot of people who use GG#4 boast that this strain is helpful with stress alleviation, chronic pain, and sleep disorders. It has a lot of myrcene, which lends towards sedating effects, which can be why it is more popular in the
evening.
