Gorilla Glue #4 Strain Review (Shelter Market)

This experience was quite exciting for me since Iโ€™ve only reviewed recreational flower since I started this. For my first-ever medical cannabis review, I tried out some  GG4 (or Gorilla Glue #4)  that I got at Shelter Market under the  Shelter brand.

At the time of writing, this is their lowest-priced product (Itโ€™s also the least Iโ€™ve paid in the legal market).

Gorilla Glue #4 is a very popular hybrid cultivar that came with  14.19% THC  and an insignificant amount of CBD. I havenโ€™t had terpene percentages available in the past, the packaging on this product had those numbers available, and I believe it should be the norm. Below is an in-depth breakdown of this pungent flower. 

  • Lineage: Chemโ€™s Sister x Chocolate Diesel
  • Terpene Profile: Limonene (0.436%), Myrcene (0.293%), Caryophyllene (0.117%), Ocimene (0.112%), Bisabolol (0.108%).
  • Packaging Details: Packaged on 11/25/2020, tested/reviewed on 02/24/2021, exactly 91 days later. Lot# 20-983.
  • Pricing Details: Purchased 28 grams from Shelter Market for $74.25 ($2.65/gram). (Please note I received 25% off my first order, the regular price is $99.99 for 28 grams.)

Appearance: 3.5/5

The bag appeal on this GG4 was on point; honestly, I didnโ€™t know what to expect from my first medical order for flower that cost less than $4.00, and I was pleasantly surprised. The trichome-covered buds came in different sizes. However, there was a very decent amount of nugs weighing over one gram.

The trichomes glands remained very intact (see micro-pic below). When it comes to humidity, the RH inside the bag was at 52%, which is quite decent. Anything over 50% usually keeps the nugs quite fresh. The trim job couldโ€™ve been a little better, but again, this is a bargain and a half.

It would actually be hard for me to find something of this quality for this price in the illicit market.

Aroma: 3/5 

This Gorilla Glue #4 gave off some earthy and woodsy scents, slightly accented by sour notes. The dominant limonene terpene showed up once the weed was milled, mixed in with a heavy pine aroma.

There was a little bit of diesel sprinkled around as well, nothing wrong with the aroma whatsoever, but there was no โ€œwowโ€ factor to it.

Flavor: 3/5

The flavor was interesting; the first few tokes were full of earthiness and pine. The sour diesel flavors came in on the exhale and the aftertaste, with a slight hint of chocolate/coffee. The smoke was relatively smooth and very enjoyable.

Effects: 4/5

This was my favorite part from this entire GG4 review since the effects that this cultivar gave off were right up my alley. Itโ€™s a โ€œhybridโ€ feeling; the effects reach both body and mind within a few minutes.

I felt relaxed but not lethargic; this weed takes the edge off while still keeping the brain functional. It can be good for focusing on some work, socializing, or just chilling out.

Overall: 3.5/5

I would recommend this to both beginners and everyday users; I feel like a beginner would enjoy the effects that this cultivar emits.

The price point here is really something special for the legal market, my first Shelter Market experience was a pleasant one, and Iโ€™m looking forward to diving into the other products I have purchased from them.
