Strain Breakdown
The Royal Details
GG4 is Gorilla Glue. Same plant, different name, and this is a light assist greenhouse run of it. If you are comparing this against our Gorilla Glue listing, you are looking at the same strain from a different batch.
The short version
- GG4, Gorilla Glue and Original Glue are one strain. The names changed for legal reasons.
- The 4 is a phenotype number, identifying the fourth selection the breeders kept.
- This run is light assist, greenhouse grown with supplemental lighting.
- Six weights, starting at 7 grams.
Why the number matters
Most strain names have no number. This one does, and it is not decoration.
When breeders grow a cross from seed, every plant comes out slightly different. Those variations are phenotypes. The breeders behind this strain worked through their selections and kept the fourth, so the cut that spread worldwide is specifically Gorilla Glue #4, shortened to GG4.
The number identifies the plant, not just the cross. That is a meaningful distinction, because a different phenotype from the same parents would be a genuinely different flower.
| Name | What it refers to |
|---|---|
| Gorilla Glue | The original name, still the most searched |
| Gorilla Glue #4 | The specific selected phenotype |
| GG4 | Shorthand adopted after the trademark dispute |
| Original Glue | The official name after the 2017 settlement |
Two listings, same strain
The Kingdom carries this strain under both names because people search for both. If you want the greenhouse run, it is on the Gorilla Glue listing. This page is the light assist run.
Different batches, different growing, same genetics. Nothing is being sold twice under a disguised name, and it is worth saying so plainly.
What light assist means
Light assist is greenhouse growing with supplemental lamps added on top of natural sunlight, so the plants get a full consistent day regardless of the weather.
It sits between straight greenhouse and indoor: better structure and consistency than sunlight alone, without indoor pricing. On a resin heavy strain, consistency through the flowering stretch is the part that matters most.
Choosing a weight
| Size | Grams | Suits |
|---|---|---|
| 7 grams | 7 g | Trying this batch |
| 14 grams | 14 g | A half ounce |
| 28 grams | 28 g | An ounce |
| Quarter pound | 112 g | A steady smoker, a month or two |
| Half pound | 225 g | Heavy use, or splitting with others |
| Pound | 450 g | Volume buying |
Storing it
Airtight, cool and dark. Glass rather than plastic, because plastic holds static and pulls trichomes off the bud, and a resin heavy strain has more to lose. A humidity pack rated 58 to 62% keeps it steady. Do not freeze it.
Same strain, two runs
Take 7 grams of this and compare it against the greenhouse run. Identical genetics, different growing method. It is the cleanest way to see what light assist actually changes.
Frequently asked questions
Is GG4 the same as Gorilla Glue?
Yes. GG4 is shorthand for Gorilla Glue #4, the fourth selected phenotype and the cut that made the strain famous. Original Glue is the same plant again, renamed after a trademark settlement in 2017.
What does the 4 in GG4 mean?
It is a phenotype number. When a cross is grown from seed, every plant comes out slightly different. The breeders kept their fourth selection, so the cut that spread worldwide is specifically Gorilla Glue #4.
Why are there two Gorilla Glue listings?
Because they are different batches grown differently. This one is light assist, the other is greenhouse. Same genetics, different growing method, and people search for both names.
What does light assist mean?
Greenhouse grown with supplemental lamps added on top of natural sunlight, so the plants get a full consistent day whatever the weather. It sits between straight greenhouse and indoor on both consistency and price.
How should I store it?
Airtight, cool and dark. Glass rather than plastic, with a 58 to 62% humidity pack. Break larger weights into smaller jars on arrival and open only the one you are using. Do not freeze it.
Will it show up on a drug test?
Assume yes. Standard tests look for THC metabolites and do not distinguish hemp derived from anything else. If you are tested for work or any other reason, do not use it.
