Gorilla Glue Strain Regular SeedsGG4 genetics with males included, for breeders and pheno hunters
5.00 out of 5 · 4 reviewsThe Gorilla Glue strain in regular form gives you both male and female plants from the GG4 family, the famously sticky GG Strains hybrid that mixes Chocolate Diesel, Sour Dubb and Chem's Sister. Roughly half of these seeds grow males, so you sex the plants in early flower and keep the females for buds. Growers choose regular Gorilla Glue seeds to make their own crosses, collect pollen or hunt for a keeper mother plant.

What is the Gorilla Glue strain?
Regular Gorilla Glue seeds carry the GG4 genetics that GG Strains built from a Sour Dubb, Chocolate Diesel and Chem's Sister mix, but unlike feminized seeds they sprout both male and female plants. That makes this the version breeders reach for when they want pollen or new crosses. The females are indica-leaning, bloom for roughly 8 to 10 weeks and are listed at 25–30% THC by seed sellers, with the dense, tacky buds the Glue name is known for.
AllBud puts GG4 at 60% indica. MSNL's regular GG4 listing calls it 50/50, so expect variety among regular seedlings.
Regular Gorilla Glue seeds produce pollen-bearing males, the starting point for breeding new GG4 hybrids.
Gorilla Glue strain specs
These Gorilla Glue figures come from the breeder's GG4 listing, a seed bank that sells regular GG4 and independent strain databases. Regular seedlings vary more than feminized ones, so read each number as a range for the female plants.
| Type | Indica-leaning hybrid (about 60/40); regular seedlings vary |
|---|---|
| Genetics | Chem's Sister × Sour Dubb × Chocolate Diesel |
| Bred by | GG Strains (Joesy Whales and Lone Watty), United States |
| THC | 25–30% typical on seed listings; up to 32% claimed |
| CBD | Under 1% |
| Main terpenes | Caryophyllene, myrcene, limonene |
| Aroma & flavor | Pungent fuel, pine, earthy chem, light chocolate |
| Reported effects | Euphoric lift, then heavy relaxation and appetite |
| Seed type | Regular (roughly half male, half female) |
|---|---|
| Flowering indoors | 8–10 weeks after the change to 12/12 |
| Outdoor harvest | End of September into October (Northern Hemisphere) |
| Height | Tall; MSNL lists 180–220 cm (6–7 ft) |
| Yield | Up to about 600 g/m² (2 oz/ft²) indoors from female plants |
| Difficulty | Moderate to advanced, since plants must be sexed |
| Best methods | Sex early, clone keepers, then top and SCROG the females |

Where does the Gorilla Glue strain come from?
Gorilla Glue comes from GG Strains, where Joesy Whales and Lone Watty found it among seeds from an unplanned cross of Chem's Sister, Sour Dubb and Chocolate Diesel. Their garden was pollinated after a Chem's Sister plant grew male flowers, and the handful of seeds that followed gave them several numbered Glue phenotypes. Number 4 stood out and went on to win the hybrid category of the 2014 Michigan Medical Cannabis Cup, a High Times event.
A 2017 trademark suit from the company behind Gorilla Glue adhesive led the breeders to rename the line GG4, and the #4 cut is also marketed as Original Glue. GG4 spent years passed around as a clone, so regular seeds reopen the full gene pool: each seed is a fresh combination of its parents, not a copy of the #4 plant. Seed sellers rarely publish which male they used to make regular Glue seeds.
Why buy regular Gorilla Glue seeds instead of feminized?
Regular Gorilla Glue seeds are for growers who want males: to collect pollen, make their own Glue crosses or choose a mother plant from a wider spread of phenotypes. Feminized seeds come from pollen made by a female plant, so they carry no true male to breed with. Many breeders also prefer regular seed when selecting a vigorous, uniform keeper for long-term cloning.
Sex early to save space. Males usually show pollen sacs within one to two weeks of 12/12. Remove or isolate them before the sacs open unless you plan to collect pollen.
What does Gorilla Glue taste like, and how does it feel?
Aroma and flavor
Gorilla Glue has a loud, pungent nose of fuel and earthy chem, with pine and a soft chocolate sweetness on the exhale. Regular seedlings can lean further toward the sour diesel side or the sweet cocoa side than feminized plants do.
- Fuel
- Earthy chem
- Pine
- Chocolate
- Sour
- Spice
Terpenes
- Caryophyllene
- Spicy, peppery; GG4's main terpene on Leafly
- Myrcene
- Musky, herbal depth
- Limonene
- Sharp citrus lift
Expect terpene differences between regular Gorilla Glue seedlings; that spread is part of any pheno hunt.
Reported effects
Gorilla Glue is reported to start with a cheerful, euphoric rush and then settle into strong physical relaxation, which is why most people keep it for the evening. On Leafly, relaxed, sleepy and hungry are the effects mentioned most often.
- Euphoric
- Relaxed
- Body-heavy
- Sleepy
- Hungry
Commonly reported Gorilla Glue downsides include cottonmouth, red or dry eyes and, for some people, couch-lock or anxious thoughts after a large dose.
Effect reports for Gorilla Glue come from Leafly and AllBud reviewers and seed-bank write-ups, and they describe the female flowers only. Responses vary from person to person, and none of this is medical advice.
How do you grow Gorilla Glue seeds?
Regular Gorilla Glue seeds add one step to the usual routine: sexing. Pop extra seeds to allow for males, veg for 4 to 6 weeks, set the lights to 12/12, pull the males as soon as they show, and give the remaining girls 8 to 10 weeks of bloom.
- Germinate3–7 days
Start extra Gorilla Glue seeds, since about half will turn out male. Label every seedling so you can track it through the hunt.
- Vegetate4–6 weeks
Take a cutting from each plant before flowering if you might keep a mother; once you know the sexes, keep only the female clones you like.
- Flower8–10 weeks
Males form round pollen sacs at the nodes within about 1–2 weeks of 12/12, while females show white pistils. Remove or isolate the males early.
- HarvestDay 56–70 indoors · end Sep–Oct outdoors
Harvest the females when trichomes turn mostly cloudy, and compare plants side by side to pick a keeper.
Grow tips for Gorilla Glue
- Plant twice what you need. With regular Gorilla Glue, plan on roughly half males, so start at least double the number of females you want to flower.
- Clone before you sex. Cuttings taken in veg let you save the best female as a mother. You can also flower just the cuttings under 12/12 to learn each plant's sex early.
- Keep breeding males apart. Pollen drifts far. Flower any Gorilla Glue male you want to use in a separate space, collect the pollen onto paper, and store it dry and cold.
- Check females for stray male flowers. GG4 started with a hermaphrodite, and growers still report occasional bananas under stress. Inspect buds from mid-bloom and keep the dark period completely dark.
- Leave headroom. Regular GG4 seedlings can get tall, so top them early and spread the branches under a SCROG net indoors.
- Expect a sticky trim. The female flowers are heavy with resin; trimming after drying and keeping alcohol on hand for your scissors saves a lot of time.
Is Gorilla Glue the right strain for you?
Great pick if you
- Want males for pollen and your own Glue crosses
- Enjoy hunting through seedlings for a keeper mother plant
- Have space to grow extra plants and cull the males
- Like a heavy, relaxing evening smoke from the female plants
Think twice if you
- Need every seed in the pack to end up flowering for buds
- Have room for only one or two plants
- Have never sexed plants and want a simple first grow
- Can't keep males away from flowering females
Gorilla Glue strain FAQ
Are Gorilla Glue regular seeds male or female?
Regular Gorilla Glue seeds grow both. Roughly half become males and half females, though any single pack can skew either way. You find out which is which in early flower, when males form pollen sacs and females show white pistils.
Why buy regular Gorilla Glue seeds instead of feminized?
Regular seeds give you males, which you need to make your own crosses or collect pollen. Breeders also like them for the wider genetic spread when hunting for a mother plant. If you only want buds, feminized seeds use your space more efficiently.
How can you spot a male Gorilla Glue plant?
Check the joints along the main stalk, where each branch splits off. A male Gorilla Glue plant grows small round sacs on short stalks there, while a female grows a teardrop-shaped calyx with white hairs. Pre-flowers can appear late in veg, but most plants show clearly within one to two weeks of 12/12.
Is regular Gorilla Glue the same strain as GG4?
It is the same genetic family. Gorilla Glue #4 was renamed GG4 after a 2017 trademark suit, and the #4 cut is also called Original Glue. Regular seeds will not grow exact copies of that clone, because every seed mixes genes from its mother and father.
Is Gorilla Glue indica or sativa?
Most sources call Gorilla Glue an indica-leaning hybrid, and AllBud gives roughly 60% indica. MSNL lists its regular GG4 as a balanced 50/50 plant, so from regular seed you may see both taller, leaner plants and stockier, broad-leaf ones.
How long does regular Gorilla Glue take to flower?
Female Gorilla Glue plants from regular seed need about 8 to 10 weeks of bloom after 12/12. Outdoors, seed sellers put the harvest from the end of September into October in the Northern Hemisphere.
How strong is Gorilla Glue?
Seed listings put Gorilla Glue at 25–30% THC, with some claiming up to 32%, while AllBud's range starts as low as 18%. Only the female flowers are smoked, and potency varies more between regular seedlings than between feminized plants.
Can I make my own feminized seeds from a Gorilla Glue female?
Yes. Growers spray one female with colloidal silver or STS so it grows pollen sacs, then use that pollen on another female. With regular seeds you can also use a real Gorilla Glue male instead, which keeps more variety in the offspring.
Who created Gorilla Glue?
GG Strains, the company of Joesy Whales and Lone Watty, created Gorilla Glue after an accidental pollination in their garden; Chem's Sister, Chocolate Diesel and Sour Dubb are the three strains behind it. Its #4 phenotype won the hybrid class at the 2014 High Times Michigan Medical Cannabis Cup.

This is incredibly ideal! Your brain will vibrate violently. It tastes and smells almost exactly like coffee, with a dash of chocolate and a hint of lemon zest. This is perfect for me! Beaver Seeds, I appreciate how easy and quick the transaction was. I adore this strain; it’s great for helping me unwind and get a nice night’s sleep after work.
Paul Hottskitch –
My most favorite potent weed of all so far! This is beyond perfect! Cerebral buzz will hit you hard. After a few hours, you get punch hard by the body stone and will eventually give you a floating experience do better get things done before hitting this. It emits a coffee-like to a somewhat chocolatey scent and taste with hints of lemony zest note. This suits me very well! Thanks for the smooth and fast transaction Beaver Seeds.
Logan Heather –
The most POTENT favorite of all so far! This is PERFECT! There is an instant head buzz from this overly tricky strain. After a few hours, you get hit hard by the body stone though so make use of your clear head while you can. Smells and flavors of coffee/chocolate are most prominent with a lemony zest note. I just love how perfect this is for me no flaws at all. Thanks, Beaver Seeds for delivering them to me smoothly and fast.
