Platinum Glue
The ultimate heavy-hitter crossing Platinum Kush with Gorilla Glue #4—revered for its metallic sheen and devastating potency.
What is Platinum Glue?
Platinum Glue is a high-octane hybrid that represents the pinnacle of "gas" and "glue" genetics. Born from the union of Platinum Kush and the world-renowned Gorilla Glue #4 (GG4), this strain takes the couch-locking power of its parents and coats it in a thick layer of silvery, platinum-tinged trichomes.
As a clone-only strain, the authentic Platinum Glue is prized for its specific structural morphology and "chem-fuel" aroma that seed-based recreations often miss. It is a masterpiece of resin production, yielding buds that are quite literally sticky to the touch and appear as if they've been dipped in diamond dust. It is a favorite among those who prioritize maximum bag appeal and heavy physical sedation.
Terpene Profile
The Platinum Glue terpene profile is a pungent collision of industrial chemicals and earthy sweetness. Expect a heavy "funk" reminiscent of diesel fuel and fermented pine, balanced by the smooth, metallic finish inherited from the Platinum Kush side of its heritage.
Growing Platinum Glue
Growing Platinum Glue is an exercise in managing vigor. Like its GG4 parent, it can be a fast stretcher during the first few weeks of flower. It produces a massive amount of secondary branching, making it an ideal candidate for Screen of Green (ScROG) setups.
- Support: The buds become extremely heavy in late flower; trellis netting is mandatory to prevent branches from snapping.
- Feeding: Platinum Glue is a heavy feeder, particularly requiring high Calcium and Magnesium during the mid-flower swell.
- Airflow: Because of its insane resin density and thick flower structure, keep humidity low (under 45%) during the final 3 weeks.
Clean your trimming scissors frequently! This strain earned the "Glue" name for a reason—the resin will lock up your tools faster than almost any other cultivar.
Effects & Experience
Platinum Glue is not for the faint of heart or the occasional user. It is a "one-and-done" strain that delivers a sledgehammer-like effect to both the mind and body. It is widely used by those seeking relief from severe chronic pain or restless nights.

Frequently Asked Questions
The name reflects its parentage: Platinum Kush and Gorilla Glue #4. It also describes the visual appearance (shiny like platinum) and the physical texture (sticky like glue).
It is an Indica-dominant hybrid. While it has some cerebral lift, the overwhelming majority of the experience is heavy, physical, and relaxing.
Yes! Unlike some "greasy" strains, the GG4 lineage often provides large, brittle trichome heads that break off easily in cold water, making it a decent washer for live rosin.
