GG4 seeds are feminized cannabis genetics descended from the original Gorilla Glue #4 cut — a Chem Sis × Sour Dubb × Chocolate Diesel cross that became famous for resin production so heavy it gums up trimming scissors. If you want to buy GG4 seeds for a home grow, Azarius stocks both the photoperiod original and the autoflower version, so you can pick based on your grow style, not just the name on the pack.
Buy GG4 Seeds — Photoperiod or Autoflower?
The first decision isn't strain, it's format. GG4 exists in our shop as two seed types that share genetics but grow on completely different timelines. Photoperiod seeds flower when you switch your light cycle to 12/12 — you control when the plant starts budding, which means bigger yields if you veg properly but more work. Autoflowers flip to flower on their own internal clock, usually 3–4 weeks from germination, and finish the whole run in roughly 8–10 weeks regardless of light schedule.
Neither is better. They're different tools. Roughly 40% of home growers in Europe now pick autoflowers for a first grow according to seed bank data published by SeedFinder — faster turnaround, forgiving of light leaks, and they stay small enough for a 60x60 tent. The photoperiod GG4 is what you'd pick if you've grown before, have a proper tent setup, and want the full trichome-soaked expression the original clone is known for.
Which GG4 Should You Buy?
| Seed | Format | Time from seed | Good for |
|---|---|---|---|
| GG4 | Photoperiod feminized | Grower-controlled (9–14+ weeks) | Growers with tent experience who want maximum yield and resin |
| GG4 Auto | Autoflower feminized | Fixed 8–10 weeks | First-time buyers, small spaces, quick turnaround runs |
Short version: if this is your first grow or you're working in a cupboard, order the GG4 Auto. If you've run a tent before and you want the classic expression, the photoperiod GG4 is the one to get.
GG4 vs Other Sticky Hybrids
GG4 sits in the same shelf as other resin-heavy hybrids — Gelato, Zkittlez, Wedding Cake. What sets the GG4 line apart is the diesel-pine terpene profile rather than the dessert/fruit sweetness those others lean into. It's the strain we'd point at when someone asks for something old-school rather than the latest candy-flavoured cross. Been on our shelves under various breeders since the clone escaped in the mid-2010s, and it hasn't faded the way most hype strains do.
Growing Notes — Both Versions
Both GG4 seeds from Azarius are feminized, meaning you won't be sexing plants and culling males halfway through. Expect heavy trichome coverage, dense buds, and a smell that genuinely needs a carbon filter — this isn't a low-odour plant. Budget for at least a 4-inch inline fan and filter if you're growing indoors and share walls with neighbours. Outdoor growers in Northern Europe should lean towards the autoflower — the photoperiod wants a proper season and won't finish outdoors north of about 52° latitude without a greenhouse.
Frequently Asked Questions
What's the difference between GG4 and GG4 Auto seeds?
Genetics overlap but the growth pattern is different. GG4 is photoperiod — it flowers when you switch to 12/12 light. GG4 Auto adds Ruderalis genetics so it flowers automatically on age, finishing the whole run in 8–10 weeks.
Are GG4 seeds good for beginners?
The autoflower version is. GG4 Auto is forgiving, small, and fast. The photoperiod GG4 rewards experience — it stretches hard in flower and wants a proper tent, light schedule, and feed routine to express its potential.
Do GG4 seeds smell during flowering?
Yes, heavily. Pine, diesel, and sour fruit — the terpene load is part of why the strain became famous. Without a carbon filter on your extraction, the whole floor will know. This applies to both the photoperiod and auto versions.
Are the seeds Azarius sells feminized?
Yes. Both GG4 and GG4 Auto are sold as feminized seeds, so you won't need to identify and remove male plants mid-grow. Pack sizes run from single seeds up to 10-packs.
