Genetics:
Duct Tape is a unique hybrid with a genetic background that combines two powerful cannabis families: Original Glue (GG4) and Do-Si-Dos. This pairing brings together the legendary Chem and Sour Diesel influences of GG4 with the elite Cookie and OG genetics found in Do-Si-Dos, creating a cultivar with a strong and respected lineage.
The Original Glue (GG4) side of the family tree is one of the most influential modern cannabis varieties. GG4 was created by crossing Chem’s Sister, Sour Dubb, and Chocolate Diesel. These genetics connect GG4 to the famous Chem family, bringing along traits from Chemdawg, Sour Diesel, and classic diesel-influenced breeding lines. GG4 helped shape modern cannabis culture with its reputation for exceptional resin production and its role as a parent to many popular hybrids.
The other parent, Do-Si-Dos, adds the famous Cookie family influence. Do-Si-Dos is a cross of Girl Scout Cookies (GSC) and Face Off OG, combining the sweet, complex traits of GSC with the deep Kush heritage of Face Off OG. Through GSC, Do-Si-Dos carries genetics connected to OG Kush and Durban Poison, two of the most important lineages in modern cannabis.
Together, these genetics create Duct Tape, a strain that blends the best of the Chem, Diesel, Cookie, and OG families. Its family tree includes influential cultivars such as GG4, Chemdawg, Sour Diesel, Chocolate Diesel, Girl Scout Cookies, Face Off OG, and OG Kush. With a lineage built from some of the most recognized genetics in cannabis breeding, Duct Tape represents the continued evolution of elite hybrid cultivation and remains a favorite among collectors and enthusiasts who appreciate exceptional cannabis heritage.
