805 Glue
Gorilla Glue #4
805 Glue is an indica-dominant strain originating from California's Central Coast, often described as a phenotype of the popular Glue family. It gained recognition for its resinous flowers and potent effects, making it a favorite for both consumers and extract artists.
Appearance
805 Glue typically produces medium to large buds with a high calyx-to-leaf ratio, appearing in deep green hues, sometimes with purple tinges. The flowers are notably dense and covered in a thick layer of trichomes, giving them a frosted appearance. Buds are often compact and cylindrical, with long, rust-orange pistils.
The strain is visibly sticky, often leaving a resin residue on handling. Properly cured buds have a slight snap and fluff nicely when ground, indicating good moisture content for a clean burn.
Aroma & Flavor
The aroma of 805 Glue is characterized by a sharp chemical diesel scent, reminiscent of its Glue lineage, layered with earthy, pine, and subtle cocoa or coffee notes. Users often detect a tangy, sour undertone, similar to lemon peel or solvents. As the flower warms, spicy notes from caryophyllene emerge, supported by woody and herbaceous undertones.
The flavor profile mirrors the aroma, starting with dominant diesel and chem notes, followed by pine sap and earthy spice. A peppery sensation on the palate is common, with the exhale offering hints of chocolate or roasted nuts. When vaped at lower temperatures, citrus and sweeter notes become more apparent.
Effects
805 Glue is recognized for delivering classic Glue potency, providing a heavy and relaxing finish that is well-suited for evening use. Consumers report a calm sensation, making it a popular choice for unwinding after a long day. The effects are known for their rapid onset and sustained intensity.
Terpenes & Cannabinoids
Caryophyllene is frequently the dominant terpene in 805 Glue, often accompanied by Myrcene and Limonene. Humulene, Linalool, and Pinene are also commonly found. The THC content typically ranges from 15-25%, with CBD levels below 1%. Minor cannabinoids like CBG may be present, potentially contributing to its relaxing properties.
Cultivation
Growers often select 805 Glue for its high resin production and trichome density, which translates to good yields for concentrates. The plant structure is generally robust, though some phenotypes may exhibit mild foxtailing under high light intensity without adequate airflow. Careful environmental control is advised to preserve terpene integrity.
Origins & Lineage
805 Glue is a regional selection from California's Central Coast, widely considered a phenotype or backcross of the Gorilla Glue #4 (GG4) lineage. While the exact breeder is not documented, it emerged in the mid to late 2010s, emphasizing resin output and a distinct chem diesel aroma. It is often described as GG4 dominant, with potential stabilization for denser structures suitable for coastal growing conditions.
