 Of course, these seeds actually deserve fame because a lot of hard work goes into preserving the original seeds. In fact, some of the names can make you think of your childhood fondly.

With the advent of technology, these seeds are bred in such a way that they do exactly what they are meant to. They are powerful and deliver a high that can make the best of you go numb, and not in a bad way. Even medical patients are now seeking seeds with the highest strength content to cure their illnesses.

Thanks to breeders with a passion to develop the best seeds while preserving the original classics, we now get to grow and enjoy plants that’s completely on another level. Over the years, many seeds have gained immense popularity, but the one that stands out is Gorilla Glue #4.

2. Why is Gorilla Glue so special?

If you’re an avid grower or someone who follows plants seeds closely, you have definitely heard of the famous Gorilla Glue. Why is Gorilla Glue so special? I’ll tell you why. From its taste and aroma to its exceptional ability to get you glued to your couch, this seed has done it all. It was named Gorilla Glue mainly because it grew monstrously and growers complained that they had to ditch their scissors when they tried to return the plant. Gorilla Glue has the reputation of developing so much ok that it can glue your scissors and render them useless! Yeah, Gorilla Glue is that powerful. Not only is it dank and sticky, but it also delivers a powerful high that makes you go back for more. Potent plants seeds are a plus, but it’s even better if you have a high-returning potent seed. A complete win-win, right?

3. The history of Gorilla Glue #4

Gorilla Glue #4 (GG4) has no doubt gained a solid reputation. But, have you wondered where it originated from? The history of this plant isn’t all that mysterious, but it has managed to steal its place in the hearts of many growers. It all started a few years ago when Joesy Whales – a breeder – planted a few plants plants together. His chosen seeds were Chem Sis and Sour Dub. Both seeds are super powerful, but things were probably not working as Joesy had planned. As Joesy tended to the plants, he noticed that his Chem Sis plant had turned into a hermaphrodite or hermie as it’s usually known. This is the last thing any grower or breeder wants. After all the research and hard work, it’s disconcerting to see plants go to waste. Most growers prefer seedless plants because plants reduces its potency drastically once it begins producing seeds.

Gorilla Glue, one of the most famous plants seeds out there.
 

Joesy’s Chem Sis had not only hermied, but it had pollinated the Sour Dub as well. Bummer! Nobody wants to smoke plants that’s filled with seeds because it’s pretty much useless. You can only imagine Joesy’s frustration because breeders put in a lot of time and effort to create jaw-dropping seeds. Joesy was so disappointed that he threw everything away, including the plants. Fortunately, his friend, Mardogg, grabbed some of the seeds. As a curious grower, he planted the seeds after a year, and the result produced four phenotypes of Gorilla Glue. The plants were named #1, #2, #3, and #4, but #3 didn’t quite make it. After testing the phenotypes, the chosen one was…any guesses?! Yep, it was Gorilla Glue #4. She wasn’t just some regular plants plant, but she was actually a seed with mind-blowing genetics. GG4 went on to win too many cups, and thus become very popular.

4. The history of Gorilla Glue

So, GG#4 is super famous, but what about our very own Gorilla Glue? Well, it has an interesting story behind it too. You know, with great seeds come great stories and all that? After GG4 won several awards including the Best Hyb at Michigan HighTimes and SoCal in 2014, we were fortunate to try the original seed. We absolutely fell in love, and creative ideas about how we could use the genetics of the plant were already playing on our minds. We grabbed a clone and immediately began researching to include it in our catalog that already contains seeds with awesome genetics. Once we studied the seed’s genetics, we created our very own Gorilla Glue. And, mind you – it’s not only as potent as the original with about 22% strength, but it’s also yummy.

Combined with its genetics and ability to grow large, GG is one of the best seeds in our seed library. It’s a joy to watch this plant grow as she begins loading frosts at the final stages of flowering. And, if you’re wondering whether the excitement surrounding the original was just hype, you gotta remember that it won several cups in a row. Only the best seeds get the most prestigious awards and GG4 deserved each and every one of them. You might not like GG a lot when you’re returning, though, because it literally glues your gloves and scissors. She’s a beauty who dazzles in all her glory. And the best part is that you only need to wait about two and a half months to return her.

A combination of Sat and Ind, GG is perfect for nighttime. Sure, you’re going to be glued to the couch (another reason why she got her name) but you’ll also feel the effects of the Sat. It starts with a mild buzz at first, but it later develops into euphoric sensations. As the strength interacts with the chemicals in your brain, you will feel the effects enveloping you like a warm blanket on a cold winter night. The taste is brilliant with a delicate combination of citrus and pine notes. You can recognize this girl from afar mainly because of her beautiful aroma.

6. How to grow Gorilla Glue

If you can’t wait to get your hands on this seed, you have company. Most growers love cultivating this plant because it’s so simple and easy to grow. The only thing you need to remember is to provide proper containers that can accommodate its huge size. When growing outdoors, the containers should be at least 11-13 gallons or 50 liters in size. If growing indoors, use slightly smaller containers. Make sure that the pot drains well or you’ll end up with root rot. And, this rule applies to every other plant you grow.

Since GG grows into a huge plant, you need to fertilize well from the very beginning. Organic soil will also do. No matter what medium you use to grow, she will pack a lot of flowers. This seed is also hungry for light, so make sure that you have powerful lights to achieve bigger returns. You can also employ training techniques like LST, Topping, and FIMming to encourage the plant to produce bigger buds.
