Gotti
Gotti is a modern hybrid strain developed through the crossbreeding of Gelato #41 and Gelly. Bred for a moderate level of cultivation difficulty, this strain performs well in both indoor and outdoor environments. Growers can expect a high yield from Gotti, which reaches full maturity after a 63-day flowering period. Its genetic influence has established it as a foundational parent for several notable offspring, including Dracoz, Gelly Swirl, Grande Gotti, and Zotti.
The terpene profile of Gotti is characterized by a complex hierarchy starting with caryophyllene, limonene, and linalool, followed by humulene, myrcene, pinene, beta-pinene, bisabolol, nerolidol, valencene, ocimene, caryophyllene-oxide, and finally borneol. This diverse chemical spectrum dictates the sensory experience, balancing spicy, citrus, and floral notes. This specific arrangement of terpenes defines the aromatic nuance of the flower, ensuring a consistent profile that reflects its unique hybrid lineage.
As a THC-dominant variety, Gotti is frequently sought for its ability to induce effects described as relaxed, happy, and uplifted. These qualities make the strain a functional choice for those managing stress and physical pain, while also serving as an effective aid for sleep. The strain is widely recognized in modern breeding circles for its consistent potency and its continued impact on the development of subsequent hybrids.

●●○○
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: local anesthetic equal to procaine; anticonvulsant via glutamate/GABA modulation; reduces morphine tolerance via multisite opioid/GABAergic/cannabinoid action.
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.
