GGStrains is the breeder behind Original Glue (GG4) — one of the most replicated cannabis genetics of the modern era. We stock the official GGStrains line at Azarius, starting with Original Glue | GG4S1, the S1 feminised version of the strain that put GG on the map. If you've smoked anything labelled "Glue", "GG4", or "Gorilla Glue" in the last decade, you've met a cut, a clone, or a copy of this lineage.

GGStrains is the seed project from the breeders behind Original Glue (GG4), the chem-heavy hybrid that became a benchmark for resin production and potency. The original GG4 was a clone-only cut for years, traded between growers and impossible to find in seed form unless you knew somebody. GGStrains is the official route — the breeders releasing stabilised seed versions of the line rather than another knock-off marketed under a similar name. We send people here when they want the real lineage instead of something pretending to be it.
The catalogue is small and deliberately so. Rather than spinning out fifty crosses, GGStrains focuses on the core Glue genetics and selected S1s. Original Glue | GG4S1 is the headline release: a self-pollinated version of the GG4 mother, which means the seeds express the original phenotype far more reliably than hybrid crosses tend to. Expect dense, sticky flowers, the diesel-and-pine nose GG4 is known for, and the resin coverage that gave the strain its name in the first place.
At present we stock Original Glue | GG4S1 — the feminised S1 release of GG4. S1 means the seeds are produced from a single mother plant pollinated with itself, so the offspring stay close to the original cut rather than drifting into hybrid territory. It's the closest you'll get to the clone-only GG4 without sourcing a cutting. As GGStrains expands its line, we'll add the new releases here.
If you're new to growing, GG4S1 is not the easiest first plant, but it's not the hardest either. She's a hybrid with strong indica structure — bushy, resin-heavy, responsive to topping and LST. The main thing to watch is the trichome load: buds get heavy and sticky enough late in flower that airflow matters more than usual. Keep humidity in check during the final weeks and you'll be fine. Start with a small pack, learn how she stretches in your space, then scale up.
Intermediate growers will get the most out of this line. GG4 rewards a dialled-in feed schedule, stable VPD, and patience through a slightly longer flowering window than the average dessert hybrid. The payoff is the resin — this is one of the genuinely high-THC strains where the number on the label translates to what you see on the buds. Good for solventless extraction, rosin pressing, or just smoking flower that glues your fingers together when you break it apart.
Advanced growers chasing pheno-hunts will want the S1 specifically because it gives you a tighter expression range to work with. You're not hunting through wildly different phenotypes — you're selecting between close variations of the original mother. That makes it a useful starting point for anyone wanting to lock in a personal cut from official GG4 genetics rather than gambling on a cross.
GG4 is a photoperiod feminised strain. She flowers in roughly 8–9 weeks indoors, stretches moderately in the first two weeks of 12/12, and finishes with the chunky, frosted colas the line is known for. Outdoors she prefers warm, dry climates with a long enough season to ripen properly — northern European growers should plan for a greenhouse or polytunnel rather than open-air. She's not particularly mould-resistant given the bud density, so airflow and humidity control through late flower are the variables that matter most.
GGStrains is the seed project releasing official feminised versions of the GG4 line. The original GG4 existed as a clone-only cut for years before stabilised seed releases became available. If you want genetics that trace back to the original mother rather than a third-party recreation, this is the route.
S1 means the seeds were produced by self-pollinating a single mother plant. The result is a population that stays close to the original phenotype, rather than the wider variation you get from crossing two different parents. It's the standard way to convert a clone-only strain into seed form without losing what made it desirable.
It's manageable but not the easiest pick. GG4 grows like a sturdy hybrid and responds well to basic training, but the dense, resinous buds need good airflow late in flower to avoid mould. If it's your first grow, expect a learning curve around humidity control. If it's your second or third, you'll be fine.
GG4 is consistently among the higher-THC strains on the market — the reason it spread as a clone in the first place. Exact percentages depend on phenotype and grow conditions, but expect heavy resin production and strong effects. Treat it as a high-tolerance strain rather than a daytime smoke.
