Strain profile · Hybrid
GG4
GG4, also called Original Glue or Gorilla Glue #4, has several familiar names. Keeping the number attached helps distinguish this profile from other Glue selections.

GG4 history & lineage
Leafly lists Chem’s Sister, Sour Dubb and Chocolate Diesel in GG4’s ancestry and credits GG Strains. This guide retains all three names without inventing a grouping that the source summary does not establish.
Aroma notes & reported terpenes
The catalogue uses pungent, earthy and pine descriptors. Glue is a name, not an ingredient claim or a chemical analysis.
Terpenes named by the catalogue: Caryophyllene, Myrcene, Limonene. These names are not measurements for a particular sample.
Reported effects, in context
These terms summarize the cited catalogue’s user-report categories. They are anecdotes, not controlled evidence or a promise of an effect. The library does not use them to recommend a strain for a medical condition.
For a particular sample, this article does not establish potency, contaminant results or suitability. Read our evidence guide to understand the difference between a catalogue description and a lab result.
What you can actually buy right now
CBD.co, one of our retail partners, had no in-stock listing carrying the GG4 name when we checked on 28 September 2026, and none of our other partners — Koi, LooperVerse, CBDfx, CleanAF and Just Delta, all read the same day — lists a cut under it. That is the honest answer, and it is more useful than a buy button under the wrong name: hemp growers mostly work their own cuts and their own names, and the dispensary classics do not map cleanly onto what a hemp brand can legally ship you.
The December problem, in one paragraph
Almost every jar of "GG4-style" hemp flower on sale in the United States is sold as THCA flower, and THCA flower has a deadline on it. Section 781 of Public Law 119-37 rewrote the federal hemp definition to measure total THC rather than delta-9 alone, and total THC counts the THCA sitting in the bud. That single word removes essentially all THCA flower from the federal hemp category.
The date is contested and we hedge it deliberately. Several states bite earlier still. Our standing advice has not changed: plan for 12 November and treat 11 December as upside. We keep every moving part dated in the federal hemp deadline tracker, and the state-by-state guide is where to check your own.
Names, aliases & distinctions
Search aliases: Gorilla Glue, Gorilla Glue #4, Gorilla Glue 4, Original Glue, Glue
GG4 and Original Glue are mapped here. The broad nickname Gorilla Glue needs context: a different numbered Glue selection should retain its number rather than being silently folded into GG4.
GG4 FAQs
Can I buy GG4 online?
Not today. CBD.co, one of our partners, lists a single product under the Gorilla Glue name — a Big High THCa cartridge — and it showed no stock when we checked on 28 September 2026; nothing at any partner is labelled GG4 or Original Glue. A cartridge is a terpene blend rather than flower anyway, so treat it as a flavour reference, not the cultivar, and ask for a batch COA before you trust any potency figure.
Is GG4 indica, sativa or hybrid?
The cited catalogue classifies GG4 as a hybrid. This is a catalogue label; it does not establish a uniform chemical profile or reliably predict an individual’s experience.
What are GG4’s parent strains?
The cited account lists Chem’s Sister, Sour Dubb and Chocolate Diesel. This profile does not invent a precise grouping for those ancestors.
What does GG4 smell like?
The catalogue describes pungent, earthy, pine notes. These are sensory descriptions, not an ingredient list or an identity test. Different samples carrying the same name need not match the description.
What effects are reported for GG4?
The cited catalogue’s user-report categories include relaxed, sleepy, hungry. These are subjective reports, not controlled clinical findings, guaranteed outcomes or evidence that the strain treats a condition.
What is the THC percentage of GG4?
There is no single verified THC percentage assigned to GG4 in this guide. A useful potency figure must be tied to a particular tested sample or batch, with a laboratory, date and units. A catalogue average or maximum cannot establish another sample’s THC or CBD content.
Which terpenes are reported for GG4?
The catalogue names Caryophyllene, Myrcene, Limonene. This is an attributed description, not a measured ranking for a sample. A quantitative terpene chart would need a traceable laboratory report rather than percentages inferred from smell or the strain name.
Are GG4, Original Glue and Gorilla Glue the same name?
The catalogue connects GG4 with Original Glue and Gorilla Glue #4. The shorter Gorilla Glue nickname is less precise, so retain the number when it is available. Do not silently merge other numbered Glue selections.
How is GG4 different from Sour Diesel?
They have separate catalogue histories. A Diesel-associated ancestor in GG4’s account does not make GG4 an alias for Sour Diesel. Compare the full ancestry statements instead of treating the shared family vocabulary as proof of identity.
