Gorilla Glue #4
HybridTHC 27–32%
Gorilla Glue #4, or GG4, is the incredibly lucky result of accidental pollination of Sour Dubb by Chem's Sister, whose child was then crossed with Chocolate Diesel to create this all-star indica-dominant hybrid. Gorilla Glue #4 is 65 percent sativa. The name of the strain comes from the resin that stays on the scissors when you trim the plant. Holding a spot in cannabis royalty, Gorilla Glue #4 is heralded by cannabis connoisseurs as one of the most potent and effective strains of all time and seeing as it has tested above 27 percent THC, it is no wonder why. Some results indicate the THC content is as high as 32 percent, which is considered very high. By contrast, there is 0.05 to 0.1 percent CBD in Gorilla Glue #4. Patients love Gorilla Glue #4 for its pleasant hybrid effects, delivering unmatched levels of uplifted, creative happiness, and similarly extreme relaxation, sedation, and pain relief. This makes it ideal for treating depression, pain, and insomnia. The indica can provide sedative effects for slipped discs, arthritis, or other painful disorders. The low CBD content makes Gorilla Glue #4 less than ideal for central nervous disorders or seizures. Instead, it is best with disorders like anxiety, depression, stress, and obsessive-compulsive disorder. Even those without medical conditions will appreciate Gorilla Glue #4 thanks to its effects. This strain's pleasant effects begin in the body, where they numb stress and pain. From there, it spreads to your head, providing a friendly, happy feeling. Expect a full-body melt when you smoke Gorilla Glue #4. At the same time, you will enjoy cerebral effects that are uplifting. When used recreationally, the buzz from Gorilla Glue #4 tends to go right to the head. It can be heavy-handed, with most considering this to be a couch-locking marijuana strain. In addition to the relaxation, you can expect to feel sleepy after smoking Gorilla Glue #4, and you may also have cotton mouth. Gorilla Glue #4's effects make it a strong choice for those who want to fight stress or insomnia, or those who want to sit back with friends and relax. If that wasn't enough to make you love Gorilla Glue #4, this strain gives off an indescribably delicious aroma, blending slightly spicy floral fragrances with notes of robust, earthy pine. Some say that the strain smells similar to wood glue. The aroma tends to be strong, sometimes described as earthy and sweet and sometimes as having hints of coffee and chocolate. The taste is sometimes described as that of wood glue with hints of diesel. The smoke is flavorful and full-bodied. Gorilla Glue #4 earned its name from the thick dew of sticky trichomes that litter the entire surface of each of these buds, so dense that you can barely see the gorgeous green calyxes underneath. Those green buds feature orange hairs. Overall, the plant is dense and spongy. The buds are sizable and have short white "hairs" covering the entire plant. The trichomes on Gorilla Glue #4 are so extensive that some describe it as mostly trichomes with some stalks, leaves, and buds. The extreme quantities of resin on Gorilla Glue #4 make it an ideal option for resin extractions. In those situations, it can yield up to 30 percent. Thanks to its effects, most people suggest smoking Gorilla Glue #4 at night. Otherwise, the full-body relaxation may get in the way of your daily activities. This is an award-winning strain, having earned honors at the 2014 Cannabis Cup, including in both Michigan and Los Angeles. In 2015, it won first place at the Cannabis High Times World Cup in Jamaica. If you plan to grow Gorilla Glue #4, keep in mind that it came from a hermaphrodite being accidentally pollinated. As such, you should check your seeds for any pollen sacs during the flowering stage, even if you buy feminized seeds. Growers of Gorilla Glue #4 should expect a heavy yield in around eight weeks.
Durban Poison
SativaTHC 17–27%
Hailing from Durban, South Africa, this purebred sativa strain has been making waves for decades due to its high potency and severely stimulating head effect. One of the most interesting facets of Durban Poison is its potency in THCV, a psychoactive cannabinoid that suppresses hunger and gives its user a burst of energy. This strain's dense, sticky buds give off a fragrance of sweet grapes, citrus, and earth and generally have about 17-27% THC. Durban Poison provides its patient with a particularly stimulating cerebral hit, motivating its user through the focused energy it provides while simultaneously dissolving all traces of pain.
Strawberry Cough
Sativa-domA strawberry-flavored sativa-dominant cannabis strain known for its euphoric buzz, Strawberry Cough is a strain with a genetic heritage that is shrouded in mystery. Strawberry Cough is beloved by many cannabis enthusiasts because it is said to provide an invigorating cerebral buzz that promotes happy, creative thoughts and soothing physical effects without being too relaxing for daytime medication. The big, fluffy flowers that Strawberry Cough produces have a pale sage green hue, but covering the surface of every flower is a coat of whitish trichomes and brick red pistils. Strawberry Cough's flowers have an earthy scent that hints at the strain's unmistakably delicious ripe strawberry flavor.
Bubblegum
Indica-domThis strain's silly name comes from its parents, Bubblegum and AK-47, and this whimsical bud lightens your mood incredibly. Patients who use this strain describe its effects as simultaneously euphoric and fully relaxing, stimulating the mind toward a dreamy and creative state while fully relieving pain, stress, and tension throughout the body. This high is said to be strong, sometimes overwhelming, and long-lasting, so it is best used by experienced cannabis users who have at least a few hours free to experience this bud.
Chemdawg 4
Indica-domTHC 15–15%
Chemdawg 4 is an indica-dominant phenotype of the original Chemdawg strain. Much like its parent strain Chemdawg 4 has a buzzy and stimulating head high. However, unlike Chemdawg, this head buzz travels throughout your body, leading to a slightly sedative and arousing high, perfect for a night out or in. If you are looking to grow, Chemdawg 4 might be the right choice, as its plants grow to five feet in about 10 weeks and produce a big yield of chunky buds that generally test around 15% THC. These dense flowers are usually deep sea green in color and dotted with potent tangerine pistils; the earthy bright citrus aroma coming from each of these beautiful buds is incredibly alluring.
Triangle Kush
Indica-domHailing from Florida, Triangle Kush is thought to have been named to honor the three cities that produce the most cannabis in the state (Tampa, Miami, and Jacksonville). An indica-dominant hybrid with unknown genetics, Triangle Kush's undersized flowers have a dense, irregular structure that is accented by peach-colored pistils and translucent trichomes. Patients who've experienced the rare strain Triangle Kush report that it provides stupendously sedative effects and the cerebral aspects of this strain are said to be suitably up-lifting. Overall, the odor of Triangle Kush flowers is earthy and not totally pleasant, and the flavor of this strain is very similar with a hint of sweet honey.
Purple Wreck
Indica-domTHC 15–20%
Developed by DNA Genetics, Purple Wreck is the indica-dominant result of a cross between Purple Urkle and Trainwreck. Flowers of Purple Wreck tend to be particularly fluffy and a deep violet color, their large, lumpy structure obscured by chunky trichomes and a tangle of tangerine pistils. Purple Wreck's effects tend to be simultaneously uplifting and thoroughly relaxing and it is known for leaving its user in a dreamy, sleepy state. Expect this strain's attractive flowers to have an herbaceous, earthy fragrance, and a taste that is not unlike a piece of grape-flavored candy.
