GG #4 is a modern hybrid strain with an undocumented lineage. According to lore, this strain is widely credited to have originated in the United States, where its reputation emerged due to its high-yield potential and growth characteristics. Cultivators can expect a flowering time of 67 days, with the plant proving suitable for both indoor and outdoor environments. While the cultivation difficulty is rated as moderate, the strain is recognized for producing substantial yields, cementing its presence in modern grow rooms.
The chemical profile of GG #4 is defined by a terpene sequence led by myrcene, followed by caryophyllene, and rounded out by limonene. This dominance of myrcene is complemented by the spicy undertones of caryophyllene and the bright notes of limonene, which together shape the specific sensory experience of the flower. These compounds contribute to an aromatic profile that reflects this precise terpene hierarchy, providing a distinct olfactory experience for the consumer.
The effects of GG #4 are characterized by sensations of being relaxed, happy, and uplifted. These properties make the strain a common choice for addressing stress, pain, and sleep difficulties. Its genetic influence is extensive, as evidenced by its use in a wide range of progeny, including Critical Cream Glue, Fire Glue Cookies, (GG#4 x BlissfulWizard) x Do-Si-Dos F2, GG #4 x Lem OG, GG#4 X Aliendog Cherry, GG#4 x Blissful Wizard, GG#4 x Grape Crinkle, Lavender Glue, Strawberry Glue, and Strawberry Glue Cookies. This expansive lineage remains a testament to the strain's utility in modern breeding programs.

Russo 2011: only terpene that is a selective full CB2 agonist (100 nM); Gertsch et al. 2008: acts as dietary cannabinoid; unique anti-inflammatory and gastric cytoprotective properties.
PMC11060501: opioid-independent antinociception; appetite suppression (anorectic); NF-κB dual-pathway synergy with caryophyllene.
Russo 2011: increases serotonin in prefrontal cortex + dopamine in hippocampus via 5-HT1A; Johns Hopkins 2024: significantly reduced anxiety vs THC alone.
Effects
Reported effects — derived from terpene chemistry and cannabinoid profile.
relaxed
eveningPrimary endpoint of myrcene+linalool sedating combinations; GABA modulation is the dominant mechanistic driver.
happy
anytimeuplifted
morningLimonene anxiolytic/antidepressant via serotonin elevation in prefrontal cortex (Russo 2011); mood improvement without full euphoria; key for balanced-1-1 profiles.
Genetic Profile
Balanced Hybrid
Equal indica and sativa genetics. Balanced body and mind effects.
THC-Dominant
High THC, trace CBD. Psychoactive. Full CB1 agonism — euphoria, appetite, analgesia.
