Gorilla Glue—also known as Original Glue (GG4)—is a hybrid famous for its sticky resin. The name isn’t random: material can be so tacky it “grabs” scissors and fingers. The aromatic profile blends diesel/chem, pine, earth, and a cocoa–coffee shadow.
What it looks like — in short
- Habit: medium height, sturdy lateral frame, buds dense and heavy.
- Calyxes & trichomes: “sugary” frost, thick resin heads, calyx > leaf.
- Color: from strong green to olive; pistils creamy → honey–rust.
- Touch:very sticky resin—fingers pick up an oily film.
Aroma & flavor — what you actually smell
- Front:diesel/chem, pine (pinene), a slightly earthy core (myrcene).
- Middle:peppery spice (β-caryophyllene), cocoa/coffee tones and dark wood (humulene).
- Background: subtle citrus (limonene), sometimes a brief toffee hint after grinding.
On the palate: dense and dry, with a long, resinous finish.
Impressions (sensory)
User reports line up: quick background calm, soft weight in the body, and a clear yet muted headspace. More chill than “rocket up.” Sensory language—experience varies.
Phenotypes — common lanes
- Diesel–pine: the sharp, “technical” nose; clean and coniferous.
- Chocolate–earth: more cocoa/coffee, warmer, deeper profile.
- Citrus–chem: brighter limonene, fresher start, diesel lingers in the tail.
Quick “terpene map”
Most frequent: β-caryophyllene, myrcene, pinene, limonene, humulene (sometimes linalool). That mix explains diesel/chem + pine + peppery spice + cocoa/coffee.
Spotting a good batch
- Frost: dense, glassy, even—no dull islands.
- Nose after grinding: diesel and pine jump first, then cocoa/coffee; no raw green edge.
- Structure:calyx over leaf, dense cola but not a fiberless rock.
- Touch test: scissors/fingertips turn sticky in seconds.
Small “botanical” note
Gorilla Glue packs high resin density and a strong, technical aroma. In a clean, orderly setting, the bouquet reads diesel–pine–cocoa instead of generic “green.”
Who is Gorilla Glue for?
For those who like decisive, resin-heavy hybrids: sticky presence, diesel–pine nose, and a comfortable chill. For collectors who appreciate even trichome coverage and weighty, aesthetic buds.
