GG5
Also known as: New Glue, Gorilla Glue #5, Gorilla Glue 5
Overview
GG5, also known as "Gorilla Glue #5," "New Glue," and "Gorilla Glue 5," is a hybrid marijuana strain developed by GG Strains. GG5 is a potent cross of Sister Glue (GG1) and Original Glue (GG4). Also known as "New Glue," GG #5 was first bred and cultivated by the growers at GG Strains in Las Vegas, Nevada. This top-shelf cannabis has a genetic makeup of roughly 79% indica and 21% sativa. The strain represents the culmination of expert breeding by Josey Whales and Lone Watty, breeders and founders of GG Strains, combining the best qualities of its legendary parent strains.
GG #5 produces tight, compact, fern green buds, with wide, horn-shaped calyxes, coated with a white frost of crystalline trichomes and vivid orange pistils. The strain features a robust earthy and diesel flavor profile with spicy undertones, and its buds are characterized by a light minty green color with bright amber hairs, all covered in light amber trichomes that underscore its potency. GG #5's aroma has a slight reminiscence of its lineage, with a rich terpene profile, combined to emit a smell that can only be described as potent and intense, with notes of diesel, pepper, and earth, along with sweet and skunky undertones. Consumers can expect a sweet, diesel, and earthy flavor followed by a skunky aftertaste. The strain is particularly notable for its extremely resinous nature, living up to the "Glue" moniker with its sticky, adhesive-like trichome coverage that can literally glue scissors together during trimming.
