Gorilla Glue #4 Feminized

Gorilla Glue #4 feminized seeds produce one of the most resin-saturated hybrids in modern cannabis breeding — a balanced hybrid leaning slightly indica that regularly tests between 25% and 28% THC. These seeds are feminized, eliminating male plants from the equation and allowing growers to direct all resources toward bud production from the first week of growth.

Genetics & Lineage

GG4 was created through a three-way cross of Chem's Sister, Sour Dubb, and Chocolate Diesel. The combination is what defines its character: Chem's Sister contributes raw potency and that sharp chemical edge; Sour Dubb adds sour fuel-driven aroma complexity; Chocolate Diesel grounds the profile with earthy depth and reinforces resin production. The result is a 60% indica / 40% sativa hybrid that carries the heavy-handed resin output of its chemical diesel ancestry while retaining enough sativa genetics to keep the effect from becoming purely sedative at moderate doses.

Aroma, Flavour & Effects

The terpene profile is led by Caryophyllene, followed by Myrcene, Limonene, and Humulene. Caryophyllene delivers the sharp, peppery bite that defines the first impression — a spicy, almost astringent note that sits beneath a wave of diesel and pine. Myrcene adds an earthy musk that softens the chemical edge, while Limonene brings a faint citrus brightness that becomes more apparent in the exhale. On the palate, GG4 is best described as sour pine with a fuel finish — the kind of flavour profile that confirms the Diesel genetics immediately.

Effects onset is relatively fast for a high-THC hybrid. The initial phase is cerebral — focused, moderately euphoric, and clear enough for creative tasks — before transitioning into full-body relaxation within 30 to 45 minutes. At higher doses, the indica dominance takes over and the effect becomes heavily sedating. CBD content sits below 1%, so there is no buffering of the THC experience.

Growing Profile

GG4 feminized performs well both indoors and outdoors. Indoors, flowering time runs 8 to 9 weeks with yields averaging 500 to 600g per square metre under optimised lighting. Outdoors, plants finish by late October in the northern hemisphere and can produce 600g or more per plant under full sun. Plant structure is medium to tall with strong lateral branching, making it a good candidate for LST (low-stress training), SCRoG, or topping to manage height and maximise canopy exposure.

The resin production that defines this strain also presents its main cultivation challenge: trichomes coat everything, including fan leaves and stems, which means trimming is time-intensive. Humidity control during late flowering is important — dense buds and heavy trichome coverage create conditions where botrytis can establish quickly if airflow is insufficient. Difficulty level is moderate, suitable for growers with at least one grow cycle of experience.

Who This Strain Is For

GG4 suits growers who prioritise resin yield alongside smokeable bud — it is a reliable source strain for concentrate and extract production given its trichome density. Experienced recreational users seeking high-THC effects will find it performs consistently, while medical users managing pain, insomnia, or appetite suppression often cite it as a reliable option. A standard grow tent or greenhouse setup is sufficient; no specialist equipment is required beyond good environmental controls.

Five feminized seeds per pack gives a manageable starting point for a personal grow or a controlled multi-plant setup — enough variety to select a favoured phenotype without overcommitting space.
