Gorilla Glue #4 Auto Cannabis Seeds
Gorilla Glue #4, or GG4, is a multiple award-winning strain of 37/63% Sativa/Indica hybrid. Proudly placing first in the 2014 Cannabis Cups in Michigan and Los Angeles and the High Times Jamaican World Cup in 2015, it is a fast-growing strain that oozes with promises of a large yield.
A three-way mix of Chem’s Sister, Sour Dubb, and Chocolate Diesel, this auto-flowering strain offers faster cultivation and harvest than its photoperiod counterparts without sacrificing quality and yield. With its chunky, stick-to-your-fingers buds and powerful aroma, this is THE strain for experienced users who want a combination of euphoria and relaxation.
Flavor & Aroma
Boasting the same aroma as its photoperiod parent, the GG4 autoflower is a complex mix of earth, pine, and lemon notes with hints of chocolate and diesel. The flavor is reminiscent of the aroma profile, giving you a rich, complex experience that lingers on the palate.
Effects & Experience
GG4 delivers a powerful, long-lasting high that begins with cerebral euphoria followed quickly by creative inspiration and uplifting sensations typical of cannabis sativa strains. A deep sense of relaxation then takes over which might lead to the sedative effects or couch-lock. If you want a fit of giggles followed by a long, restful high, GG4 might be the one for you!
Cultivation Tips
Autoflowers have a shorter lifecycle than photoperiods and will suit growers who want shorter, or multiple seasons. The GG4 is particularly mold and pest-resistant, making it suitable for beginners. The estimated flowering time is 9 to 10 weeks, and the yield is moderate to high. This strain likes sunlight and thrives in warm indoor or outdoor temperatures, so be sure to provide adequate light.
Feed adequate nutrients based on the stage of the plant’s lifecycle, consider using LST to optimize growth, and avoid overwatering. This strain has thick, resinous buds, so keep the plants well-ventilated with adequate airflow. As with other strains, harvest with most of the trichomes turns opaque with some that are ember.
Terpene & Cannabinoid Profile
GG4 has a high cannabinoid profile of 25 to 30% THC and under 0.1% CBD. The primary terpenes are caryophyllene, limonene, and myrcene, with the first giving the strain the earthy, spicy notes.
Known Medical Benefits
Being a hybrid, GG4 can be used day or night for its euphoric effects. The strain has been used to treat stress, anxiety, and pain, but because of the sativa content, it might not be as effective in treating insomnia.
Did You Know?
GG4 got the name Gorilla Glue because scissors tend to stick to its sticky, resinous buds. Many growers complain that they had to chuck their pruning scissors as they are useless when harvesting this particular strain. Don’t forget that high resin production needs more airflow and ventilation!
