Alien Gorilla Glue Regular Seeds

Alien Gorilla Glue brings together two resin-heavy lines. Gorilla Glue #4 earned its name from how badly it gums up trimming scissors, and Alien Technology is an Afghani-type cut kept for its frost and hash quality. The strain label lists the cross as indica-dominant, 70% indica and 30% sativa, with THC at 24%.

These are regular seeds, not feminized. Each pack produces a mix of male and female plants, which is what breeders and growers who keep their own mothers want.

Working with regular seeds

Grow all the seedlings through veg and watch the nodes once the plants mature. Males show small, round pollen sacs; females show thin white hairs. Pull the males before the sacs open, or move the best one to a separate space if you want to collect pollen for your own crosses.

A regular pack also lets you hunt. Run several females, keep cuttings from each, and hold on to the one with the best smell, structure and resin as a mother plant.

What the plant looks like

The indica side is in charge: broad leaves, a thick main stem and chunky colas packed close together. Both parents coat the buds in resin early, and by the end of flower the plants are sticky to the touch. The smell runs earthy and piney with a sour, diesel edge from the Glue side.

Growing notes

Wear gloves when you handle it late in flower and keep alcohol on hand to clean your scissors. Keep the canopy even with one topping and a few ties, and thin the inner growth so air reaches the dense colas. Grown outside, a female can reach 500 g.
