Gorilla Glue #4 by Mavericks Genetics

Gorilla Glue #4 by Mavericks Genetics brings one of the most famous names in modern cannabis to a feminized seed. The cross of (Sour Dubb x Chem Sister) x Chocolate Diesel grows into a Sativa-leaning hybrid, around 65% Sativa and 35% Indica, with a THC rating of 28 ± 2% and a resin coat so thick it lives up to the name.

The flowers are dense and chunky, with bright green tones almost buried under a blanket of snowy-white trichomes. By late bloom the colas take on a frosted, white-green look that makes the plant stand out in any tent or garden.

Mavericks Genetics reports that Gorilla Glue #4 has collected 20 national cannabis competition wins, a record that reflects how widely this cultivar is respected. Beyond the trophies, it is a dependable performer, with breeder figures of about 600 g/m² indoors and up to 800 g per plant outdoors.

With a total terpene content of 3.20%, a feminization rate of 99% and a dry extraction ratio of 100:12 kg, Gorilla Glue #4 suits flower growers and hash makers alike.

Gorilla Glue #4 Genetics: Sour Dubb, Chem Sister and Chocolate Diesel

The lineage starts with a cross of Sour Dubb and Chem Sister, two lines from the Sour Diesel and Chem families that carry pungent fuel aromas and vigorous growth. That hybrid was then crossed with Chocolate Diesel, which adds structure, extra resin and a darker, richer undertone to the terpene mix.

The final cultivar leans toward the Sativa side, roughly 65% Sativa to 35% Indica. In the garden this shows as vigorous lateral branching and a noticeable stretch after the flip, while the Chem and Diesel ancestry keeps the buds dense and loaded with glandular trichomes.

Pine, Cherry and a Powerful Effect

The breeder describes the aroma of Gorilla Glue #4 as pine and cherries. Sharp, resinous pine leads the bouquet, and a sweeter cherry tone comes through as the buds are broken apart, giving a bold yet balanced profile.

The flavor follows the nose closely. Expect a crisp pine inhale with a fruity cherry note on the exhale and a heavy, resinous mouthfeel that coats the palate. The 3.20% total terpene content keeps the taste vivid from the first pull to the last.

The effect is strong and long-lasting. The Sativa side brings a euphoric, energetic onset and a bright mood, then a deeper body relaxation builds as the session goes on. At 28 ± 2% THC, Gorilla Glue #4 is a heavy hitter suited to experienced consumers who respect its potency.

Growing Gorilla Glue #4 Indoors

Indoors, Gorilla Glue #4 benefits from a plan to manage its stretch. Topping once or twice in veg and running a SCROG net creates an even canopy of strong tops, and the plant fills a screen quickly. Flowering takes around 8-9 weeks, and the breeder lists an indoor yield of about 600 g/m² (1.97 oz/ft²).

Dense flowers need a dry room late in bloom. Keep humidity in check and thin interior foliage. A strong carbon filter is advisable once the pine aroma takes off.

Growing Gorilla Glue #4 Outdoors

Outdoors, Gorilla Glue #4 grows into a large, productive plant in full sun. Mavericks Genetics lists up to 800 g per plant (28.2 oz/plant) in good conditions, with harvest arriving between the end of September and the beginning of October in the Northern Hemisphere.

Give each plant plenty of root space, a rich soil mix and room to branch out. The early finish helps in areas where autumn rain arrives in mid-October.
