High-Grade Shatter – Gorilla Glue #1

This frosty strain packs a sweet-tangy blow, allowing you to vibe out with a sedating high after consumption. After using this mighty strain, clear your evening plans for a relaxing night of euphoria and a bout of deep restful sleep afterwards.

Though there is no verification of one ultimate explanation, Gorilla Glue Shatter is thought to get its name from both the way it leaves you feeling as well as its rather sticky preparation process. Given the narcotic high this strain supplies, Gorilla Glue Shatter leaves you feeling “glued” to the couch.

Similarly, it is rumored that the effects of this hybrid are strong enough to sedate a gorilla. Contrastingly, some people believe Gorilla Glue Shatter gets its name from its preparation process. Given that its trichomes, or the sticky white crystals or “frost” found on the buds, tend to “glue” scissors together during trimming and “glue” people’s grinders shut, this explanation is also reasonable. Regardless of its name’s origin, Gorilla Glue Shatter is sure to blow your mind in many ways.

With few strains available today that can provide a more calming effect, Gorilla Glue Shatter is a perfect way to end a long and taxing day—a statement many customers can enthusiastically attest to. This strain tends to make you feel completely uplifted and worry-free, making you extra chatty and prone to socialization as a result. While this hybrid is great for melting away your troubles, it can also leave you with moderate cotton-mouth, so do not be surprised if you feel especially parched and thirsty.

Gorilla Glue Shatter made its grand debut on the global markets in 2016, and has continued to take the world by storm ever since. Sister to the equally popular Gorilla Glue #4 and Gorilla Glue #5 strains, this particular cross provides a more mellow high than its siblings. As such, it is known to have THC levels that measure up from anywhere from 25-28%, making Gorilla Glue Shatter quite a potent strain perfect for medicinal use. This heavy hitter proves as a robust sedative notorious for inciting an overall relaxing kick—an exceptionally potent strain great for when you need a nice soothing dosage of tranquility and peace.

Preferring warm and temperate outdoor climates, when grown, Gorilla Glue Shatter requires tentative care. Proper and regular trimming as well as reduced exposure to dangers like frost and too much rain is all essential for cultivating healthy strains of Gorilla Glue Shatter. This hybrid grows to be relatively tall within an 8-9-week window, flowering in early October. You can expect to yield about 18 ounces of bud per plant cultivated when growing this valuable herb indoors and roughly 18 ounces per plant cultivated when grown outdoors. Gorilla Glue Shatter is comparatively resistant to common molds and mildew, also. It ultimately proves to be relatively easy to grow as well.

In terms of proper storage practices, consumers should enclose Gorilla Glue Shatter between sheets of parchment paper—not wax paper. Seeing as wax paper is not nearly as strong as parchment paper, using the latter increases the chances of the paper ripping when you are trying to remove your shatter concentrate. This is due to the shatter absorbing the oils from the wax paper, adding excess weight to the overall concentrate as a result. Ultimately, using wax paper instead of parchment paper can end with a ginormous sticky mess and destruction of perfectly good Gorilla Glue Shatter.

You can also use a silicone container, which can provide many other unrelated uses, to adequately store Gorilla Glue Shatter as well. Silicone containers are great for storing Gorilla Glue of all forms, be it wax, shatter, or oil. Besides providing acceptable packaging, silicone containers can also double as for tools ingesting Gorilla Glue Shatter. The lid, for instance, can be used to hit dabs of the strain with a honey straw.

Appearance and Taste

With its flower covered in a super frosty coat of tiny white crystal trichomes, Gorilla Glue Shatter provides an exceptional tranquilizing punch to its consumers. This strain’s bud has small dark olive-green nugs with undertones of yellow-browns and purples, making it a colorful sight to see.

Typically, at room temperature, Gorilla Glue Shatter has a glass-like consistency that appears shattered when stretched out, hence its telling name. In this form, when conglomerated this strain appears to have a honey-amber color, but when stretched it has a light greenish-gold color to it.

Some Shatter strains stay as hard as glass and are not malleable masses while others tend to have more sticky properties to them. Proving to be a good in-between, according to one patron, when it is cool enough, you can “roll [Gorilla Glue Shatter] into a ball [with your fingers] and just drop [it] into the banger” — or a small circular dish that is used to hold and vaporize a cannabis concentrate. Given this, there is generally no need for a dab tool.

With a unique sweet-sour twist, Gorilla Glue Shatter smells strongly of coffee and chocolate with earthy and woody accents reminiscent of its sister strains. Just as strong, the taste of this wonderfully fragrant hybrid reminds its consumers of mocha, chocolate, and pine—all of which are unexpectedly followed by a sour chemical diesel flavor. It is important to note that the taste of Gorilla Glue Shatter is somewhat harsh and everlasting on the tongue long after consumption.
