2017

The year the strain was renamed after a lawsuit over the name.

The basics

Sticky by name, sticky by nature

Original Glue, also known as GG4, is a hybrid bred by GG Strains in Las Vegas. It is a cross of Chem's Sister and Sour Dubb, with Chocolate Diesel in some accounts.

The original name came from how sticky it was. Growers said the resin glued their trimming scissors together.

The story

From Gorilla Glue to GG4

The strain blew up as Gorilla Glue #4 and won a string of cannabis cups. Then the company behind the adhesive took the breeders to court over the name. The case settled in 2017, and the strain became GG4, now often sold as Original Glue.
