Origins: The Gorilla Glue Story
Now that you know why you might need a bit of Gorilla Glue in your life, let’s talk about where this beauty came from. It’s a proper interesting story, this one.
See, Gorilla Glue wasn’t exactly planned. It’s like finding a winning lottery ticket you didn’t expect. It all started with a bit of a mix-up, a happy accident, over in the USA.
Basically, there was this Chem’s Sister plant, and it got accidentally pollinated by a Sour Dubb. They then crossed that with a Chocolate Diesel, and boom! You’ve got Gorilla Glue. It’s like a proper family tree, this strain, with some seriously impressive parents.
Now, these weren’t just any plants. Chem’s Sister is known for its potency, Sour Dubb for its sour kick, and Chocolate Diesel for its earthy, chocolatey aroma. So, you can see why this combination turned out so well.
The folks at GG Strains LLC, they’re the ones who brought this beauty to the world. They saw the potential, they nurtured it, and they made sure we all got to enjoy it. And look, I reckon they did a great job.
That’s the story, mates. Gorilla Glue: born from a bit of luck and good genetics. A proper legend, with a family history to prove it. While GG4 is the most well-known phenotype of this strain, there are other versions of this strain that are available.
Effects: Understanding Gorilla Glue’s Potency
Alright, let’s get to the good stuff—what does Gorilla Glue do for ya? Well, this strain packs a serious punch, with THC levels typically sitting around 25-30%.
First, you’ll feel it in your head. A wave of euphoria rolls in, like you’ve just had a proper laugh with your mates. You’ll be feeling lighter, happier, no worries in sight. Then comes the relaxation—deep, full-body, nothing’s getting done for a while kind of relaxation.
And here’s where the “glue” part kicks in. You’ll sink into the couch, comfortable as ever. Proper couch lock, no doubt about it. If you’ve been feeling wound up or just need to switch off for a bit, this one’s got you covered.
Just remember, mates—this strain is strong. If you’re new to it, take it easy and start small. Otherwise, you will be glued to the couch longer than planned.
Aroma & Flavor: A Sensory Profile
Let’s talk about the smells and tastes of Gorilla Glue, yeah? This strain is a treat for the senses.
Crack open a bag, and the first thing that’ll hit you is an earthy, piney aroma—like a stroll through a forest after rain. Underneath that, there’s a rich, chocolatey undertone, plus a slight diesel kick. Proper pungent, no mistaking it.
And the flavor? That’s where it gets even better. Expect earthy pine upfront, followed by a subtle sweetness, like dark chocolate. Then, on the exhale, you’ll catch that diesel tang. It’s a complex mix of sweet and savory, and it lingers nicely.
Oh, and those sticky buds? That’s all thanks to the thick resin coating, loaded with terpenes. Sticky fingers guaranteed—so maybe keep some gloves handy.
Cultivation: Expert Gorilla Glue Growing Tips
Thinking about growing Gorilla Glue? Good choice. It’s a rewarding strain, but there are a few things you’ll wanna keep in mind—especially how insanely sticky these buds get!
1. Climate & Environment
This strain loves warm, humid conditions. Indoors, aim for 20-28°C. Outdoors, a Mediterranean-style climate works best—long, sunny days are ideal.
2. Humidity & Airflow
Keep humidity high (60-70%) in veg, then drop it to 40-50% in flower to avoid mold. Airflow is key—these buds are like glue traps, so make sure there’s plenty of ventilation.
3. Sticky Buds & Trimming Tips
Your scissors will get gunked up when trimming. A trim bin helps catch that resin, and gloves? Trust me, you’ll thank me later.
4. Training & Support
Gorilla Glue can get bushy. A bit of pruning helps airflow and light penetration. The buds get heavy, so staking or a trellis can stop branches from sagging under their own weight.
5. Feeding & pH Levels
- Heavy feeder, but careful with nitrogen—it doesn’t like too much.
- Soil: pH 6.0-6.8 for solid root growth.
- Hydro: pH 5.5-6.5, EC 1.2-1.6 (veg), up to 2.0 (flower).
- LED lighting: Keep lights 18-24 inches from the canopy to avoid burn.
6. Pest & Mold Prevention
Sticky buds attract everything. Use organic fungicides, beneficial insects, and good airflow to keep pests and mold at bay.
7. Flowering Time & Yields
Expect 8-10 weeks of flowering and solid yields—around 500-600g/m² indoors if you treat her right.
Final Thought: Patience Pays Off
Take your time with this one, and you’ll be rewarded with top-shelf, ultra-resinous buds. Just don’t be surprised when your fingers get stuck together after handling them!
That’s the Gorilla Glue lowdown, mates. Whether you’re smoking it or growing it, one thing’s for sure—this strain sticks with you in the best way possible.
