Gorilla Glue #4 Seeds

Genetics & effects

Gorilla Glue #4 is a feminised, indica-leaning hybrid combining Chem Sister × Sour Dubb × Chocolate Diesel. Its profile is approximately 60% indica and 40% sativa, bringing together vigorous growth, substantial branching and notably resinous flowers. Published THC potential sits around 18–28%, while CBD may range from 0–1.5%; actual cannabinoid content depends on phenotype, environment and cultivation choices.

Earthy pine and herbal notes form the base of its flavour, followed by sour citrus and a distinctive diesel edge. Beta-caryophyllene, myrcene and limonene are prominent within the reported terpene profile. Experiences are subjective, but some people describe an initially euphoric or uplifting impression that develops into deep relaxation and a heavy-bodied feeling. Individual experiences can vary considerably.

Growing in New Zealand

Kiwi Seed Bank presents Gorilla Glue #4 as an intermediate-level option suited to controlled indoor spaces and warm, sheltered outdoor positions. Feminised seeds are intended to produce predominantly female plants, though growers should still observe plants throughout the cycle. Check current national and local requirements before germinating or cultivating cannabis seeds.

For outdoor cultivation, New Zealand’s spring planting window runs from September to November. Temperate regions may suit this hybrid, while cooler or wetter areas call for a sunny position, good airflow and protection from prolonged rain. Its dense flowers can hold moisture, so spacing plants well and keeping foliage managed may reduce mould risk.

Indoor

Indoors, plants may reach approximately 100–160 cm. A flowering period of around 8–9 weeks makes Gorilla Glue #4 relatively quick to finish, although phenotype and room conditions can alter timing. Its branching structure can respond well to low-stress training, selective pruning and canopy support. Avoid overcrowding, as an open canopy helps light reach developing flower sites.

Reported indoor yields are approximately 450–600 g/m² under suitable conditions. Strong odour management may be useful as flowering advances, particularly when its sour, pine and diesel aromas intensify. Monitor humidity around the flowers and provide steady air movement without directing harsh airflow at the plants.

Outdoor

Outdoor plants may grow to roughly 130–170 cm and can produce broad lateral branches. A hot, dry or mild temperate setting is the preferred match. Choose a location with long sun exposure, free-draining soil and shelter from severe wind. Branch support may become valuable later in the season as flowers gain weight.

Potential outdoor yields are listed at 500–750 g per plant, but weather, soil, phenotype, pests and grower experience all influence the final amount. In humid districts, regularly inspect closely packed flower sites and remove damaged plant material promptly to reduce risk.

Harvest

In New Zealand, outdoor harvest generally falls between March and May. Rather than relying on the calendar alone, assess flower development, resin maturity and overall plant condition. Harvest timing can influence the final aroma, colour and subjective character. Handle the sticky flowers carefully and allow adequate space and airflow during post-harvest drying to preserve their earthy, sour-diesel profile.
