Gorilla Butter V2 is a modern hybrid-indica strain developed as a direct iteration of the original Gorilla Butter. This cultivar serves as the genetic foundation for subsequent pairings, most notably resulting in the offspring Yeti Butt Breath. It is engineered for a cultivation cycle requiring approximately 60 days of flowering, and it is documented for its moderate difficulty, high yield potential, and versatility in both indoor and outdoor growing environments.

The terpene profile of Gorilla Butter V2 is led by limonene, followed by caryophyllene and humulene. This complex chemical structure continues with beta-pinene, pinene, bisabolol, linalool, myrcene, and ocimene, moving through trace amounts of camphene, nerolidol, borneol, terpinolene, geraniol, caryophyllene-oxide, and valencene. This specific arrangement of terpenes dictates the strain’s distinct sensory profile, contributing to an aromatic and flavor experience defined by the interplay of these sixteen components.

As a THC-dominant cultivar, Gorilla Butter V2 produces effects that are characterized primarily as relaxed, calm, and focused. These attributes make the strain well-suited for users seeking relief from pain and stress, or those looking for support with sleep. By combining these therapeutic use cases with its high-yielding, moderate-difficulty cultivation profile, it remains a functional selection for both growers and individuals prioritizing specific cannabinoid-driven outcomes.
