A legendary accidental discovery.
Gorilla glue #4 is undoubtedly one of the most buzzed-about cannabis strains to emerge from the United States in recent memory,
swiftly garnering a reputation as a connoisseur’s choice in the United Kingdom and Ireland. Its origin story, however, is purely serendipitous.
American breeders Joesy Whales and Lone Watie stumbled upon this strain after Joesy’s Chem Sis plants unintentionally hermaphrodited and pollinated his Sour Dubb.
Why Lone chose to retain some of the seeds when Joesy discarded the strain remains a mystery. Nevertheless, what sprouted from the soil was nothing short of the extraordinary Gorilla glue #4!
Award-winning, dispensary-grade weed right at home.
From the moment we set eyes on Gorilla glue #4, we were captivated. Its compact blossoms shimmered with a thick layer of resin, filling the room with its distinctive sweet earthy scent.
Upon testing its THC levels, we were astounded to find that the buds averaged an impressive 24–26% THC, with certain phenotypes even reaching a staggering 30%.
The original GG4 yields exceptionally adhesive flowers and induces a relaxing effect that dissolves worries, leaving you comfortably anchored to the couch in a profound state of relaxation.
Our amazement is not singular—GG4 secured 1st place in the New Strains category at the Highlife Cannabis Cup, as well as 3rd place in the Indica category.
Yield and growth characteristics.
While GG4 may not be your go-to strain for high yields, which are relatively moderate, the focus here lies in the quality of the bud rather than the quantity.
