Gorilla glue number 4
Millions of medical cannabis patients and aficionados are seeking out the surging strain
Gorilla glue number 4 The super-potent Diesel-heavy hybrid is among the most sought-after new strains of 2016 in California and beyond and has racked up a string of major Cannabis Cup wins.
Gorilla Glue #4 stands on the shoulders of the leading strain Diesel and is being spotted at finer dispensaries on the West Coast, as well as in clone and seed form.

Gorilla glue number 4 After 20 years of Diesel domination, growers have increasingly hybridized Diesel into all manner of crosses, and Gorilla Glue #4 takes Diesel crosses to a whole different level.
Gorilla glue number 4 is essentially Diesel that’s been triple back-crossed to a Chocolate Thai — meaning select Diesel-related cuts were bred with other select Diesel cuts, over and over again. The added Chocolate Thai genetics provide more sativa effects, plus a sweet, chocolaty, earthy under-note for all that astringent Diesel.
According to reports, Gorilla glue number 4 was accidentally created by breeder Joesy Whales when some Diesel-related Chem Sis plants he was growing turned hermaphroditic — developing both male and female sex organs — and then pollinated his Sour Dubb (another Diesel relative). Growers planted the freaks and numbered them in the order they popped, and #4 has stood out ever since.
When trimming up the strain, the resin was so intense that when Whales took a phone a call, the phone subsequently stuck to his hand like Gorilla Glue. Gorilla Glue is now a full-blown breeding company in its own right, releasing Gorilla Glue #1 and #5, and tightly licensing the “ GG” genetics to select cultivators.
