Otto #2
Otto #2 is a modern, hybrid-sativa cultivar resulting from the cross of an unknown strain and Otto #1. This lineage, characterized by an undocumented parent, has been carefully stabilized to ensure consistent performance across both indoor and outdoor cultivation environments. Growers should expect a moderate difficulty level and a high yield, with the plants reaching maturity after a 74-day flowering phase.
The terpene profile of Otto #2 is led by a complex hierarchy beginning with caryophyllene, myrcene, and limonene. These primary aromatics are further supported by pinene, humulene, ocimene, nerolidol, linalool, beta-pinene, and guaiol. The chemical composition is rounded out by trace amounts of p-cymene, bisabolol, eucalyptol, camphene, and caryophyllene-oxide, which collectively define the nuanced sensory profile of the flower.
Otto #2 produces effects described as creative, uplifted, and happy. These outcomes make the strain particularly suitable for social settings, enhancing focus, or providing a boost for creative endeavors. Beyond its individual attributes, the strain has proven to be a prolific genetic contributor, standing as the foundation for a wide array of notable offspring, including Giny Banana, BBS (CBD), Doobie Howser, ACDC x Otto II F2, Calisson Candy, Citrus Tropicana, Colorado Cherry, Hang Ten, Honolulu Sweet, Magic Bullet, Frosted Tot Parts, and Sweetened.

●●○○
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: naloxone-sensitive analgesia, potentiates barbiturate sleep; dominant sedating terpenoid; blocks hepatic carcinogenesis by aflatoxin.
Russo 2011: increases serotonin in prefrontal cortex + dopamine in hippocampus via 5-HT1A; Johns Hopkins 2024: significantly reduced anxiety vs THC alone.
Effects
Reported effects — derived from terpene chemistry and cannabinoid profile.
creative
morningAssociated with terpinolene/limonene profiles; dopaminergic and serotonergic modulation via limonene 5-HT1A supports divergent thinking.
uplifted
morningLimonene anxiolytic/antidepressant via serotonin elevation in prefrontal cortex (Russo 2011); mood improvement without full euphoria; key for balanced-1-1 profiles.
happy
anytimeGenetic Profile
Sativa-dominant
Primarily sativa with indica grounding. Uplifting with body relaxation.
THC-Dominant
High THC, trace CBD. Psychoactive. Full CB1 agonism — euphoria, appetite, analgesia.
