Gorilla Glue and Cannabis Cultivation: How to Grow the Resin Monster
Feb
In the history of cannabis, there are strains that simply become popular, and then there are others that change the industry forever. The Gorilla Glue (GG#4) clearly belongs to the second group.
Its name is no coincidence: during harvest, its extreme resin production literally sticks the blades of the scissors together, whilst its effect «glues» you to the sofa.
In 00 Seeds, we’ve taken this original American beast and perfected it, creating a reliable and accessible range for European growers in 2026. Let’s take a look at the benefits of this strain and discover our three biggest hits.
🦍 The 3 Faces of the «Gorilla»: Choose your format
We know that every grower has different conditions and requirements. That’s why we’ve adapted this legendary phenotype to three different growing formats.
1. Gorilla (Original Power)
The classic photoperiod-dependent feminised strain. It is the undisputed choice for commercial growers and enthusiasts of extractions (rosin, BHO). This plant unleashes the full potential of the original genetics.
- The Advantage: Massive trichome production and THC levels that consistently exceed the 25%.
- The Flavour: A deep, earthy flavour with sharp notes of pine and a slight lemony aftertaste.
- Cultivation: It produces huge, dense canes that will need sturdy support (stakes or netting) to prevent the branches from snapping under their own weight.
2. Gorilla Fast (Innovation and Speed)
Do you live in an area with short summers, or are you simply impatient? Our Fast variety is a photoperiod-dependent plant (F1) that starts flowering and matures much earlier than usual.
- The Advantage: It reduces the flowering time by 1–2 weeks (ready in just 40–45 days of flowering!).
- Exterior: It’s a lifesaver for outdoor growing (guerrilla or on a balcony), as it allows you to harvest in late August or early September, avoiding the dreaded autumn rains and mould.
3. Auto Gorilla (Discretion and Independence)
The ideal autoflowering strain for balconies, small cupboards and grows where discretion is key.
- The Advantage: Ready for harvest in just 70–75 days from germination, regardless of the light cycle.
- Size: A compact plant (80–100 cm indoors) that lives up to its big sister’s reputation for being «sticky» and delivers excellent yields.
👨🌾 Grow Tips: How to Tame the Gorilla (Cannabis Cultivation)
Growing this strain doesn’t require a master’s degree in botany, but knowing a couple of secrets will make all the difference:
- Strict humidity control: Gorilla buds are incredibly dense and resinous. During the final weeks of flowering, keep the humidity below 45% and ensure good ventilation using oscillating fans to prevent the onset of Botrytis (grey mould).
- SCROG technique: This strain loves to spread out and responds brilliantly to training. Set up a Screen of Green (SoG) system to open up its structure, distribute light evenly across all the buds and maximise the yield.
- Stock up on alcohol: We’re serious. When the time comes to trim your crop, your scissors will get stuck every 10 minutes. Keep a bottle of isopropyl alcohol to hand so you can clean your tools regularly.

💬 The expert’s comment
«The original Gorilla Glue clone is a wild beast. It’s incredibly potent, but in its early iterations it had a certain tendency towards hermaphroditism when under stress. In 00 Seeds We have spent years breeding and selecting to ‘tame’ this strain. Our aim was to offer home growers that incredible resin yield and potency, but in a stable and completely reliable plant. The Gorilla Fast version is one of our greatest sources of pride, as it has opened the doors to this Californian legend for the harsh outdoor climates of Europe.»
