Gorilla Glue

Information on Gorilla Glue

The Gorilla Glue seeds from Philosopher Seeds available in Alchimia's catalog belong to one of the most influential genetics in contemporary cannabis. Its combination of potency, abundant production, and a complex aromatic profile has made it a benchmark for growers, demanding users, and hash makers. These feminized seeds allow you to grow from seed the genetics associated with the legendary Gorilla Glue #4 phenotype, offering plants with uniform development and fairly predictable results.

• American Genetics
• Ideal for extractions
• High THC
• Earthy and cocoa aroma

Genetics: origin of a legendary variety

The well-known Gorilla Glue #4 comes from the cross between Chem Sister, Sour Dubb, and Chocolate Diesel, three genetics with great personality that together gave rise to a hybrid characterized by high potency, great resin production, good structure, and an especially complex terpene profile.

The version developed by Philosopher Seeds comes from the Gorilla #4 × Gorilla cross, resulting in a balanced variety without excessive variability between phenotypes, although always recognizable by its vegetative vigor and its impressive amount of trichomes.

Gorilla Glue cultivation

In indoor cultivation, Gorilla Glue #4 develops a highly branched structure, which makes it especially suitable for techniques like SCROG or SOG, allowing you to make the most of available space. Its flowering period ranges between 8 and 9 weeks, with yields that typically range between 500 and 600 g/m² when grown under optimal conditions.

Although its height is relatively controllable, it's important to maintain balanced and stable nutrition. This genetic usually responds better to mild fertilizers, preferably organic, which favors both final yield and the aromatic quality of the buds.

In outdoor cultivation, the plant expresses its full potential when grown in fertile soils and under temperate, sunny, and dry climates. It can easily exceed 2 meters in height and offer harvests ranging from 600 g to more than 1 kg per plant in favorable situations. In the northern hemisphere, harvest usually takes place in early October. Due to the high density and resin content of its flowers, it's recommended to apply preventive treatments against fungi in areas with high humidity to avoid problems during flowering.

Aromas, flavors, and effects

The aromatic profile of Gorilla Glue #4 is one of the traits that most distinguishes it. Earthy and woody aromas stand out, accompanied by hints of pine, fuel, chocolate, and coffee, which become more intense when grinding the buds.

On the palate, that complexity is maintained with predominant notes of cocoa and sandalwood, while a diesel background adds character and depth to the flavor.

With THC levels that can range between 25% and 30%, this is an especially potent variety, not recommended for beginner users. The effect begins with a strong cerebral stimulation and euphoria, later evolving into deep and prolonged physical relaxation, ideal for moments of rest or for the end of the day.

Additionally, Gorilla Glue #4 is highly valued for making resin extractions, as it produces such a quantity of trichomes that during trimming, scissors tend to get stuck, which is why its name refers to the well-known American adhesive Gorilla Glue.
