Gorilla Glue #4 Background

Gorilla Glue strain has three parent strains. It is a cross between Chem Sister, Sour Dubb, and Chocolate Diesel strains. It gets its name, similar to the commercial adhesive Gorilla Glue, because of its resinous, sticky buds. It is also a strain well known for “gluing you to the couch.”

Gorilla Glue strain was first bred by a Nevada-based breeding company but is typically grown in Colorado. Expect to pay $50-$70 for an eighth of this sticky, Indica dominant hybrid. It is well touted for its high THC levels (25-28% THC) and is a great strain for managing pain, arthritis, ADHD, and many more medical conditions.

We really think the Gorilla Glue 4 strain is best enjoyed with a couch nearby. For that, you're going to want a quality bong that offers a smooth toke. Marley Naturals' Glass and Walnut Wood Beaker Bong is a great option just for that. Stylized just enough to set it apart from the rest, this classic bong uses a 5-hole downstem, helping to ensure quality tokes every time.

GG4 Tastes and Aromas

The aroma Gorilla Glue #4 gives off is a strong diesel (thanks to one of its parents, Chocolate Diesel, no doubt), and tastes earthy with notes of coffee and chocolate. When grown indoors, the plant yields 18oz. of dried bud, while plants grown outdoors will produce upwards of 21oz. per plant. Flowering time for this highly medicinal strain is 8-9 weeks, and it is considered an easy plant to grow.

Gorilla Glue is available in dried herb, oils, tinctures, and edibles, in online markets. Oils and other products produced by GG4 weed strain will be high in sativa THC and low in CBD, which makes the effects of these products psychoactive.

Speaking of tasty strains, check out this Cookie Monster themed rig from Empire Glassworks! Not only is it ...awesome! It's also a high-quality water pipe that will give you a smooth toke while you're enjoying your gg strains.

Okay, normally we pull from @empireglasswork's ig for photos, but we think this stock photo shares the awesomeness of this bong well enough!

Why stop a good thing once it's rolling? That's why we're including this awesome ice cream hand pipe, also from Empire Glassworks. (Can you tell we're hungry as we write this...?) Let's not start any debates about which ice cream cone toppings are best. No one has to know the best is actually the delicious, potent gg 4 anyway!

See above - @empireglassworks does a mean job of putting dope images up on their insta, but sometimes a good ol' fashion stock photo does what you need it to!

GG4 Effects

As this is a high THC strain, it is best suited to seasoned cannabis consumers. New users may experience strong effects like a racing effect from gg strains like gg4 that are too much to handle. Additionally, this strain has low CBD levels, between .05 and .1 percent, therefore, it is not for treating serious medical conditions such as cancer, seizures, central nervous disorders, and serious mental health disorders. It is more effective to use as a sleep aid, or to fight depression, anxiety, nausea, and pain.

The effects of Gorilla Glue #4 will hit you immediately even when you just get a scent of it. The high THC level produces a dreamy body-stone with relaxation properties that will help even the most stressed-out individuals.

GG4 Grow Tips

Gorilla Glue #4 seeds can be purchased from a wide array of seed vendors in the United States, Canada and the U.K. Expect to pay about $90 for 10 seeds.

Gorilla Glue #4 can be grown indoors or outdoors, although outdoor production will produce a higher yield of 18oz to 21oz., respectively. Flowering time for this strain is 8-9 weeks or mid-October.

One main concern with growing gg strains outdoors is that it has a very pungent aroma when raw. Take care to grow this plant in a secure, safe location so that all of your hard work is not lost to a curious passer-by.

Gorilla Glue #4 Overview

Gorilla Glue #4 is a sticky, Indica dominant hybrid strain that is excellent at managing chronic pain, as well as a number of other symptoms. Its high THC to CBD ratio produces a cerebral body high that is euphoric and uplifting. The cannabis community recognizes it is not a strain for novice users due to its high potency and THC content.

Gorilla Glue #4 is inappropriate for treating more serious medical conditions such as seizures, epilepsy, schizophrenia, and fibromyalgia due to its extremely low CBD content (.05% - .1%)

Gorilla Glue #4 is a cross between Chem Sister, Sour Dubb, and Chocolate Diesel strains. It gets its name, similar to the commercial adhesive Gorilla Glue, because of its resinous, sticky buds and strong diesel smell. When consumed GG4 has notes of chocolate and coffee, although the strong diesel smell can mask these flavors. It is one of the most pungent strains to smoke but is highly sought after for its medicinal properties. There's a reason it won first place at the 2014 Los Angeles High Times Cannabis Cup.

Gorilla Glue #4 is considered an easy strain to grow and produces large yields, whether growing is done indoors or outdoors. Due to the aroma of the Gorilla Glue #4 plant it is wise to grow this strain indoors.

Grow experts recommend that if you are looking to reduce pain after a long day, or just relax and get “glued” to the couch, this is the strain for you. Novice users should exercise caution when using this strain, as the effects may be too intense for some individuals to handle.
