Let’s start with Joesy Whales and Lone Watie , our Co-Fathers of GG Strains . They are both very experienced in all aspects of medical cannabis cultivation and the breeding of marijuana in general! Over the years, these two outlaws developed several cannabis strains. Most notably, they are the original breeders of the Original Glue (GG4 ), formerly known as Gorilla Glue 4 ; as they emerged into the evolution of the medical & recreational legal cannabis sector, they brought in Cat to help with the operations, marketing, and cultivator advocacy of GG Strains LLC.
Original Glue (GG4) is the first strain GG, aka GG Genetics, released. In 2014, GG4 entered the High Time San Bernardino (LA) Medical Cannabis Cup to place in the top 3. Not only did she place, Original Glue (GG4) won 1st place (at that time, she won under Gorilla Glue 4). Later that year, The Original Glue (GG4) also entered the High Times Cup . Michigan won 1st place a second time; remarkably, they also took home the 1st, 3rd, and 4th in the High Times Jamaica World Cup. The rest is history…. (just brought in another win Oct 2019 1st Place High Times' Cup Oklahoma #StillWinning
GG4 itself remains their flagship strain; it is a unique hybrid that has remained prominent ever since its conception, a powerful blended cross of Chem's Sister, Sour Dubb & Chocolate Diesel, resulting in a killer genetic masterpiece that delivers a powerful flavour that is matched by seriously potent effects characterized by euphoria and relaxation. The GG4 profile is notably complex, layered with intricate notes of earth, pine, sour, diesel, and delightful chocolate notes.
This complexity builds with every inhale and exhale. Traditional chem crosses tend to be less multi-dimensional in their flavour profile and are often dominated by diesel/ chem gas without the intricate layers found in the one and only GG4. Chem tends to be sharper, whilst the GG4 's chocolate hints add a sweet and smooth characteristic to the strain, as does deep pine.
Despite Joesy Whales's passing, RIP to the legend. He is survived by his wife, Kat, who keeps the torch lit in honour of the iconic breeder.
