Gorilla Glue

Gorilla Glue: Deliciously Strong

Gorilla Glue seeds grow into brilliantly green plants with sharp leaves and dense buds. These plants are so bright you may need sunglasses to look at them directly. The buds are coated in sticky resin that transfers to the harvested nuggets, only adding to the sedative effects this monster strain has on the user. When clipped and dried the nuggets are thick and dense and feature a mix of green and amber. Breaking these buds open will release an earthy and chocolatey aroma that is simply mouth-wartering. Hybrids created from the original Gorilla Glue strain have won awards at the 2014 Cannabis Cup in Michigan, Los Angeles and Jamaica. Even though Gorilla Glue hasn’t taken home any major awards the word of mouth advertising this strain has been built off of is enough to grow it popularity exponentially. If you are interested in growing this strain for yourself you won’t need a ton of prior experience as it is very easy to cultivate.

Growing Tips for Our Seeds

Gorilla Glue performs best in warmer temperatures so, depending on where you live, you can grow this strain both indoors and outdoors. Outdoor growers should be careful as you will need a couple months of warm temperatures and medium humidity for this strain to really thrive. Gorilla Glue plants grow super tall so keep that in mind when you are setting up your grow. You will need plenty of headroom for these monster plants to hit their peak. Clipping and trimming your plants will assist in the yields you are trying to hit.

Dial in Your Growing Conditions

• Indoor or Outdoor: Growing Gorilla Glue plants indoors and outdoors shouldn’t give you much of a hassle. The ideal temperature for these plants is between 70-85 degrees fahrenheit. Typically you should be changing the light cycle from 18 hours of light and 6 hours of darkness to a 12/12 schedule from vegetative to flowering stages.
•  Moisture control: Relative humidity levels should be approximately 50-60% during the vegetative stage and lowered to 40-50% during the flowering stage. These plants, because of their size, require plenty of water. Monitor trichomes closely, with harvest occurring when they shift from clear to milky white, with some amber.
• Training Techniques: Strategies like topping and low-stress training (LST) will help this plant grow to harvest. LST requires gently bending and adjusting the top branches of the plant so that light reaches every level prompting healthy growth and increasing your overall yield.

Yields, Flowering Time and Harvest

• Flowering Time: With indoor grows you can expect the Gorilla Glue strain to harvest after a short flowering period of 55-65 days. Outdoor cultivators should expect to harvest GG cannabis plants sometime around early October.
• Yields: While Indoor yields are around 510 grams per square meter and outdoor grows typically produce up to 450 grams per plant. Considering the massive THC content, these yield numbers are really great.

Dominant Terpenes in Gorilla Glue: Chocolate and Coffee Flavor

The Gorilla Glue terpene profile is directly responsible for how the plant smells, tastes and the strong effects it has on its users. The most dominant terpene in this strain is myrcene, caryophyllene and limonene are the secondary terpenes.

• Myrcene: Most Dominant– Anti-inflammatory and stress reducing effects on the user.
• Caryophyllene: Secondary Terpene – Peppery and spicy, found in cannabis as well as black pepper and cloves.
• Limonene: Citrussy Goodness – Found in citrus fruits known to elevate mood in users.

Dominant Cannabinoids in Gorilla Glue:

Cannabinoids play an important role in Gorilla Glue seeds and are generally a huge part of most cannabis strains. That euphoric, happy and relaxed feeling you get when enjoying the GG strain is due to its dominant cannabinoids. Each cannabinoid does something different to the user.

• THC: The Main Character – THC is the most dominant cannabinoid on the molecular level of this strain. The crystalline compound tetrahydrocannabinol is the main ingredient of cannabis. Topping out at a massive 28%, the THC in the Indica-dominant strain is responsible for the euphoric and relaxed feeling you get when using Gorilla Glue.
• CBD: Very Minimal Amounts – While the CBD levels in GG are around 1% the cannabinoid is still present and the effects are noticeable in this strain. CBD plays a smaller role in what the strain does to the user. CBD is non-psychoactive and can produce effects that help with anxiety, sleep, pain and even stress. The CBD in the Gorilla Glue strain, even in its low amounts definitely has a positive effect on the user.
