Gorilla Glue Strain

Gorilla Glue, which is also called Original Glue or GG4, is a popular and very strong strain. This hybrid is notable for its almost immediate relaxing effects, making it ideal for unwinding after a long day. Along with its full-body effects (which will leave you “glued” to your couch), GG4 also impacts the mind, making thoughts hazy and cloudy.

It is also a parent to several trending and well-loved strains, including Zookies and Grease Monkey. Nevertheless, with multiple awards to its name, one thing is clear: this strain lives up to the hype!

Experience

Gorilla Glue is a Sativa-dominant hybrid created by GG strains. It has a very high THC level (about 18–25 percent on average) and a very low CBD level (between 0.05 and 0.1 percent). Some dispensaries offer it with THC as high as 32 percent, which explains why the GG4 weed strain is so popular!

In spite of the high sativa content of this cannabis strain, it doesn’t make you very active or energetic. On the contrary, Gorilla Glue is famous for its couch-locking effects, which can leave you glued to a spot for several hours with a contented, mellow feeling. The effects of gorilla glue hit rapidly, starting with a heady, exhilarating rush.

You’ll feel a buzz that fills all your senses, and almost immediately after that, you’ll feel very relaxed as the initial buzz slowly fades away. While you’ll find it difficult to move for several hours after taking your first hit of this cannabis strain, it’ll leave you feeling euphoric with a heightened sense of mental clarity.

It is, however, important to remember that Gorilla Glue is extremely potent, and moderate doses are recommended for even experienced users. People who are just trying it out for the first time are encouraged to go easy at first, as its effects can be pretty intense and overwhelming.

Appearance and Flavor

This hybrid cannabis strain gets its name from its buds, which are very sticky and covered with resin. Unsurprisingly, the choice of name for Gorilla Glue #4 has resulted in a drawn-out legal wrangle with the makers of Gorilla Glue (the adhesive), and Gorilla Glue #4 is now being identified as Original Glue these days.

This cannabis strain is covered in crystalline trichomes, with amber hairs sticking out prominently. Its buds are fluffy, with a remarkable olive-green color. Due to its resinous leaves, GG4 weed has a heavy, pungent aroma that gives off a distinct, diesel-like flavor. You’ll also notice chocolate and coffee scents, along with a vaguely spicy, earthy tone. Its taste is a bit different, being described as sour and heavy on the diesel.

Medical Benefits

Gorilla Glue has a low CBD content, which makes it unpopular for the treatment of serious medical conditions such as cancer, seizures, or nervous disorders. On the other hand, the high THC content of the cannabis strain makes it highly effective for the treatment and management of mild to moderate medical conditions including insomnia, headache, depression, loss of appetite, and OCD.

The GG4 strain is adept at helping you manage and deal with a wide variety of stomach ailments, such as nausea or an upset stomach. People who suffer from chronic, intense pain will also find Gorilla Glue extremely useful.

Its high THC content is especially effective at blocking out the pain and infusing users with a feeling of relaxation and happiness. If you find it difficult to sleep at night, Gorilla Glue can help remedy this very quickly. It will help your body relax, which will make sleep much easier to come by. When it comes to the treatment of mental disorders, however, Gorilla Glue truly shines.

It is most commonly used by people suffering from depression and OCD. Again, it’s important to emphasize that Gorilla Glue should be taken in moderate doses for the treatment of medical conditions, as consuming too much of it may introduce several side effects, including anxiety and stress.

Growing

Gorilla glue seeds can be cultivated both indoors and outdoors. The plant is not particularly fussy, although it will perform better with care, attention, and space to really stretch out. It is not easily affected by pests and diseases, and all it takes to increase yield is to add CO2 to your grow room.

When grown indoors, Original Glue has a flowering time of 8–9 weeks with an average yield of 18 ounces per square meter planted. GG4 seeds grown outdoors perform better than those grown indoors, with a yield that may climb as high as 21 ounces per plant. When it’s at the vegetative stage, it’s best to expose the plant to a temperature of 80 degrees Fahrenheit during the day.
