Gorilla Glue #4 (now officially GG4 due to trademark issues with the actual Gorilla Glue company) was a happy accident — created from a hermaphrodite pollination. That accident produced one of the most potent and awarded strains in cannabis history. It won the 2014 Cannabis Cup and has been a powerhouse ever since. The sheer resin production is almost absurd — trichomes coat everything, including the stems and leaves. If you want to make hash or rosin, this is your plant.

GG4 earns its name — it glues you to whatever surface you're on. The high starts with a rush of euphoria that's almost giddy, then the indica side slams in like a weighted blanket. This is one of the most potent flower strains available. Your fingers will literally stick to the buds from resin. Not for beginners or daytime use. This is 'I have nothing to do for the next 4 hours' territory.
