Citral Glue strain guide
Citral Glue is a hybrid from Ethos Genetics that crosses its Citral Skunk with Original Glue, the strain better known as Gorilla Glue. It's known for a loud diesel, citrus and skunk smell and an upbeat head feel that can turn heavy in the body.
Where does Citral Glue come from?
Citral Glue was bred by Ethos Genetics, a US seed company. The parents are Ethos's own Citral Skunk, a citrus-forward skunk line, and Original Glue, also sold as GG4 or Gorilla Glue.
It's usually described as sativa-leaning, though some sellers simply call it a hybrid. When it was first released isn't well documented.
What does Citral Glue smell and taste like?
This is a pungent one. Most people describe diesel, citrus and old-school skunk, with black pepper on top. One reviewer compared the smell to aged cheese, which says a lot about how sharp it can get.
Published terpene results list caryophyllene first, then myrcene and limonene. Caryophyllene brings the peppery bite, myrcene an earthy, musky base and limonene the citrus. The buds are known for heavy coats of red hairs.
Citral Glue effects: what people report
People most often describe it as focused, talkative and relaxed. Many report an uplifting, energetic head feel with a warm body glow underneath. At higher amounts, reviewers say the Glue side shows up and it can get heavy enough to keep you on the couch.
These are experiences people report, not promises. How it feels depends on the product, how much you have and your own tolerance. Dry mouth and dry eyes are the most common complaints, and some people mention a headache.
How strong is Citral Glue?
Citral Glue is usually a high-THC strain. Listings put it at around 22%, with reviewers reporting batches near 25%, and very little CBD.
If you're new to it, start with a small amount and give it time before having more. The THC and CBD numbers for your batch are on the label, and they matter more than the strain name.
Buying Citral Glue in Canada
Citral Glue isn't one of the common names on shelves, so it may take some looking. Since it comes from seed, different growers may have different phenotypes, and the smell can lean more citrus or more skunk.
You might find it as dried flower or pre-rolls. Check the THC and CBD numbers and the packaging date, since fresher flower keeps more of that sharp, citrusy smell.
Citral Glue vs Gorilla Glue
Gorilla Glue is one of Citral Glue's parents, and you can smell it in the diesel and pepper. Gorilla Glue is earthier and piney, with a reputation for a heavy, relaxed body feel. Citral Glue brings in citrus and skunk from its Citral Skunk side, and reports lean more focused and talkative at first. Gorilla Glue's published THC range also stretches higher. If you want the heavy original, go with Gorilla Glue. If you'd like more citrus and a brighter start, try Citral Glue.
