Sorbet #4: The Creamy Glue
Sorbet #4: The Creamy Glue
Strain Overview
Type: Indica-Dominant Hybrid (60% Indica / 40% Sativa)
Breeder: DNA Genetics (Sorbet Collection)
Lineage: Gorilla Glue #4 (Original Glue) x Sorbet
Market Status: The "Refined Beast"; Gorilla Glue #4 (now known as Original Glue) is one of the stickiest, most potent strains on earth, but it has a messy growth structure and can be prone to hermaphroditism. Sorbet #4 is the upgrade. It takes the crushing potency and resin production of the Glue and stabilizes it with the smooth, creamy genetics of the Sorbet line.
THC Content: 20% – 25% (High Potency)
Dominant Terpenes: Caryophyllene, Myrcene, Limonene, Humulene
Key Effects: Deep Relaxation, Euphoric "Glued" Sensation, Happiness, Appetite Stimulation
Gorilla Glue #4 is famous for two things: gluing your scissors together and growing like a tangled mess. Sorbet #4 keeps the scissors glued but fixes the mess.
Part of the illustrious Sorbet Collection by DNA Genetics, this strain was created to tame the wild nature of the GG#4 cut. By crossing the Glue with their proprietary Sorbet father, they created a plant that delivers the legendary "Chocolate/Diesel" flavor and knockout stone of the mother, but does so on a frame that is sturdy, reliable, and incredibly fun to grow. It is essentially "Gourmet Glue."
History and Lineage: Taming the Gorilla
This cross is about adding structural integrity and flavor complexity to a powerhouse.
The Mother (Gorilla Glue #4): The modern legend. A happy accident of Chem's Sister, Sour Dubb, and Chocolate Diesel. It is famous for its off-the-charts resin production and heavy, couch-locking effects. However, the original clone is lanky, stretches wildly, and can be unstable.
The Father (Sorbet): DNA Genetics’ breeding tool. The Sorbet line is known for adding a creamy texture, sweet fruit notes, and a robust vegetative structure to whatever it touches.
The Synthesis: Sorbet #4 inherits the resin and power of the Glue but grows with the discipline of the Sorbet. It offers a cleaner, smoother smoking experience while retaining the raw power that made GG#4 a household name.
Terpene Profile: Chocolate, Fuel, and Cream
While standard GG#4 smells like industrial adhesive and cocoa, Sorbet #4 adds a layer of smoothness that makes it more palatable.
Dominant Terpenes
Caryophyllene (The Gas): The dominant terpene. It provides the signature diesel fuel and pepper kick that Glue lovers demand.
Myrcene (The Earth): Adds a heavy base of damp soil and chocolate.
Limonene (The Cream): The Sorbet influence turns the sharp chemical notes of the Glue into a smoother, citrus-cream finish.
Flavor Notes:
The Aroma: It is pungent but sweet. It smells of sour diesel, dark chocolate, pine, and creamy fruit.
The Smoke: Thick and expansive. It tastes of earthy cocoa, fuel, and sweet cream. It lacks the harsh "throat grab" of the original Glue, offering a velvety exhale.
Strain Effects: The Happy Lock
Sorbet #4 delivers the famous "Glue" high, but with a euphoric twist.
The Experience
The Onset: The high hits fast with a buzz behind the eyes. It is euphoric and silly, often leading to laughter.
The Glue: The physical effects roll in like a fog. A heavy, warm sensation spreads through the limbs. You feel "glued" to your seat, but not necessarily asleep.
The Mood: Unlike some heavy Indicas that make you antisocial, Sorbet #4 keeps the mood light and happy. It is great for gaming, movies, or hanging out with friends (as long as you don't plan on moving much).
The Hunger: It is a notoriously strong appetite stimulant. Prepare snacks beforehand.
Best For: Stress relief, chronic pain, appetite loss, anxiety, and lazy Sunday afternoons.
Growing Sorbet #4: The Sturdy Producer
For growers who have struggled with the lanky, vine-like structure of GG#4, this strain is a breath of fresh air.
Growth Structure
The Vigor: It grows fast and strong. It is much sturdier than the original Glue, holding its own weight better (though support is still recommended for heavy colas).
The Speed: It is a fast finisher, typically ready in 9 weeks.
The Yield: Large. It is a commercial-grade producer. The buds are large, chunky, and incredibly sticky.
The Resin: True to its name, it is a frost monster. The trichome production is elite, making it a top candidate for rosin or bubble hash.
The Stability: It is less prone to hermaphroditism than the original GG#4 cut, making it a safer bet for beginners.
Grower’s Tip: This strain loves to be topped. By breaking the main dominance early, you can create a massive bush full of top-shelf colas. It is also a heavy feeder, so don't be shy with the nutrients in the flowering stage.
Final Verdict: The Gourmet Glue
Sorbet #4 is the evolution of a classic. It takes everything you love about Gorilla Glue—the stickiness, the power, the gas—and refines it. The addition of the Sorbet genetics smooths out the flavor, improves the grow structure, and adds a creamy finish that makes it stand out in a jar. If you want the power of the Gorilla without the hassle of the jungle, this is your strain.
You should choose Sorbet #4 if:
You love GG#4 (Glue/Gas/Chocolate flavors).
You want massive resin production for extracts.
You need strong physical relaxation.
You want a stable, high-yielding version of Glue.
