Gopher Glue
Gopher Glue is a modern, autoflowering variety derived from a genetic cross between Cotton Candy and Ruderalis. Its exact breeding origins and the specific timeline of its development remain undocumented, as there is no provided record regarding who first crossed these parents or the precise motivations behind its creation. As an autoflowering strain, it is designed for ease of cultivation, requiring 65 days of flowering time in both indoor and outdoor environments. Growers should anticipate a low yield from this variety.
The terpene profile of Gopher Glue is complex, characterized primarily by caryophyllene, limonene, and myrcene. Secondary and tertiary notes in its chemical composition include linalool, humulene, pinene, beta-pinene, terpinolene, bisabolol, nerolidol, ocimene, camphene, caryophyllene-oxide, and guaiol. These compounds contribute to the strain's sensory expression, though the intensity of these specific aromatics likely varies between harvests.
As a THC-dominant cultivar, Gopher Glue is primarily recognized for producing effects that are relaxed, happy, and uplifted. These characteristics make it a common choice for individuals seeking relief from stress, pain, or difficulty with sleep. Currently, there are no recorded cultivars of notable lineage derived from this strain, and Gopher Glue remains an isolated entry in contemporary breeding catalogues.
Terpene Profile
Synergies (+) and conflicts (−) are relative to each other within this profile.
| Terpene | Share | Character | Likely role |
|---|---|---|---|
| caryophyllene | ~60% | spicy | relaxing · social |
| limonene | ~28% | citrus | social · creative |
| myrcene | ~12% | earthy | relaxing · solo |

●●○○
Russo 2011: only terpene that is a selective full CB2 agonist (100 nM); Gertsch et al. 2008: acts as dietary cannabinoid; unique anti-inflammatory and gastric cytoprotective properties.
Russo 2011: increases serotonin in prefrontal cortex + dopamine in hippocampus via 5-HT1A; Johns Hopkins 2024: significantly reduced anxiety vs THC alone.
Russo 2011: naloxone-sensitive analgesia, potentiates barbiturate sleep; dominant sedating terpenoid; blocks hepatic carcinogenesis by aflatoxin.
Effects
Reported effects — derived from terpene chemistry and cannabinoid profile.
relaxed
eveningPrimary endpoint of myrcene+linalool sedating combinations; GABA modulation is the dominant mechanistic driver.
happy
anytimeuplifted
morningLimonene anxiolytic/antidepressant via serotonin elevation in prefrontal cortex (Russo 2011); mood improvement without full euphoria; key for balanced-1-1 profiles.
Genetic Profile
Autoflower
Photoperiod-independent. Flowers based on age, not light cycle. Compact and fast.
THC-Dominant
High THC, trace CBD. Psychoactive. Full CB1 agonism — euphoria, appetite, analgesia.
