Gorilla glue #4 strain
Gorilla Glue #4
(also known as GG4 or Original Glue) is a world-renowned hybrid cannabis strain famous for its heavy-handed euphoria and deep relaxation. It is most notable for its extremely sticky, resin-coated buds and a high THC content that often results in a "couch-lock" effect.
Genetics and Origins
Developed by the team at GG Strains, this award-winning cultivar was an "accidental" creation that has since won multiple competitions, including first place at the 2014 High Times Cannabis Cups in Michigan and Los Angeles.
- Genetic Lineage: It is a cross of Chem's Sister, Sour Dubb, and Chocolate Diesel.
- Strain Type: While often described as a balanced hybrid (50% Sativa / 50% Indica), it is frequently classified as Indica-dominant (roughly 63% Indica / 37% Sativa) due to its sedative physical effects.
Effects and Potency
GG4 is a potent strain primarily reserved for experienced users due to its high cannabinoid concentration.
