We delved into the creation of this remarkable strain by going back to the future and researching the ancestry of Future#1 to elect the strains which displayed the most desirable characteristics.
The revered Original Glue aka Gorilla glue#4 boasts an impressive THC content of over 30% and is notorious for it's heavy-hitting euphoric high, which creates massive relaxation throughout the body, often leading to couch lock. Another adored trait of this strain is the extensive resin production, excellent for producing concentrates, live resin, and bubble hash.
Proud Parent of Starfighter F2 is Alien Tahoe OG, a highly regarded Indica Dominant Hybrid, extremely potent and famed for inducing an almost sedative like effect, which helps to assist with stress, pain, insomnia, and nausea.
Uniting these two THC titans gave rise to an absolute knock out, in appearance and effect. Chunky resin covered buds densely packed with, trichomes and crystalline particles, with an intoxicating fragrance of earthy pine and subtle hints of sour lemon.
She can thrive indoors or outdoors. Wherever you cultivate her you will need more than 1 pair of scissors during harvest time because the enormous amount of resin will clog up your tools. Its rapid growth rate makes it an ideal candidate for the Screen of Green (SCROG) growing method. She will thrive in a warm climate and can grow to a serious height. We recommend regular pruning and trimming to facilitate better growth.

Strain FAQ
How does Gorilla Glue's terpene profile stand out?
Caryophyllene, limonene, and myrcene contribute to Gorilla Glue's earthy, sour smell. Terpenes characterise its smell and are also said to provide relaxation and mood-lifting effects. GG4 crosses have different terpene profiles, producing unique flavours and smells.
What gives some cannabis strains a sour flavour and smell?
A particular combination of terpenes gives some cannabis strains a sour taste and smell. Limonene's lemony undertones, Myrcene's earthy undertone with citrus, and Caryophyllene's spice create the sour profile loved by many.
What makes most short-flowering strains Indica or Indica-dominant?
Shorter flowering times than Sativas make Indica strains or their hybrid progeny reportedly ideal for fast harvests. Indica strains have this trait due to the cold northern climates they evolved in.
