Gorilla Glue 4 Feminized Seeds

Gorilla Glue 4, also known as GG4 or Original Glue, is an indica-dominant hybrid that earned its name the hard way: during trimming, the extreme resin production glued scissors shut. Originally created by Joesy Whales and Lone Watty of GG Strains through an accidental pollination, GG4 went on to win multiple Cannabis Cup titles and become one of the most sought-after strains in the world. These feminized seeds bring the full GG4 experience to home growers.

Genetics & Lineage

GG4 is a three-way cross of Chem’s Sister, Sour Dubb, and Chocolate Diesel. Chem’s Sister is a sativa-leaning Chemdawg phenotype that contributes chemical and citrus notes along with cerebral potency. Sour Dubb, believed to descend from East Coast Sour Diesel and Sour Bubble, brings the sour diesel bite. Chocolate Diesel, a cross of Sour Diesel and Chocolate Thai, adds the distinctive mocha undertones that separate GG4 from other diesel strains. The genetics sit at roughly 60 percent indica and 40 percent sativa, though phenotype expression can vary.

Appearance

GG4 produces dense, medium-to-large colas in dark olive green with scattered orange and amber pistils. The defining visual trait is the trichome coverage: buds appear dipped in sugar, coated in a thick blanket of bright white crystal trichomes that obscure the underlying calyxes. This extreme resin production is what gave the strain its name, and it makes GG4 an excellent candidate for hash and concentrate production. Branches may need support in late flower as the heavy, sticky buds gain weight.

Aroma & Flavor

The aroma hits with pungent earth, sharp pine, and strong diesel fuel right out of the jar. Underneath the fuel-forward first impression, notes of coffee and chocolate emerge from the Chocolate Diesel parentage, along with a spicy pepper edge driven by the dominant beta-caryophyllene terpene. The flavor delivers bold diesel and earthy pine on the inhale, transitioning to chocolate, coffee, and subtle spice on the exhale with a lingering sourness. The mocha-like undertone sets GG4 apart from other diesel-heavy strains.

Effects

GG4 builds gradually over 5 to 10 minutes, starting with a cerebral wave of euphoria that lifts the mood and quiets racing thoughts. As the high deepens, a powerful full-body relaxation takes over, melting into heavy couch-lock that can last 2 to 3 hours. Appetite stimulation is strong. With THC levels typically reaching 25 to 28 percent and capable of testing above 30 percent in well-grown batches, this is not a strain to underestimate. Start low if you are new to high-THC varieties. The combination of cerebral euphoria and heavy body relaxation makes GG4 a versatile strain that works for both recreational relaxation and winding down after a physically demanding day.

Growing Information

GG4 feminized seeds flower in 8 to 10 weeks, with 9 weeks being typical. Indoor yields reach 500 to 600 grams per square meter with proper training, while outdoor plants can produce 600 to 800 grams per plant in warm climates. Plants grow tall, reaching 120 to 200 centimeters depending on training and environment, so indoor growers should plan for height management through topping or SCROG. The grow difficulty is easy to moderate, with the strain showing strong natural resistance to disease and stress. GG4 prefers warm, sunny conditions and should be harvested by mid-October outdoors. Keep humidity low during late flower to prevent mold in the dense, resin-packed buds. The extreme resin production makes GG4 an excellent candidate for hash, rosin, and other concentrate production — many growers run this strain specifically for extraction. Branches may need support in the final weeks as the heavy, sticky buds pack on weight.
