BTS
Also known as: BTS OG, BTS Kush
BTS Strain Overview
BTS is a hybrid cannabis strain that has gained recognition primarily through underground cannabis communities and social media platforms. The strain's exact origins remain somewhat obscure, with multiple breeders claiming development rights, but it is generally believed to have emerged in the early 2010s in California. The name 'BTS' is often interpreted as standing for 'Better Than Sex' or 'Behind The Scenes,' though breeders have not consistently confirmed either interpretation. The strain gained popularity through word-of-mouth recommendations rather than large-scale commercial distribution, contributing to its somewhat mysterious reputation.
BTS plants typically display a moderately dense structure with medium-height growth patterns. The buds are characterized by their forest green coloration with occasional purple hues that emerge under cooler temperatures, complemented by vibrant orange pistils and a generous coating of trichomes that gives the flowers a frosty appearance. The strain's aroma profile is complex, combining earthy and diesel notes with subtle fruity undertones. Growers note that BTS exhibits hybrid growth characteristics with slightly indica-dominant structure but sativa-influenced flowering patterns.
While not as widely documented as mainstream commercial strains, BTS has maintained a dedicated following among connoisseurs who appreciate its balanced effects and complex flavor profile. The strain remains more prevalent in certain regional markets and through specific breeders rather than achieving widespread commercial distribution. Its relative rarity compared to more established strains means that phenotypic variations may occur more frequently, and consumers should verify the specific genetics when obtaining this strain.

BTS Strain Growing Information
BTS is considered a moderate-difficulty strain to cultivate, suitable for growers with some experience. The plants typically flower in 8-10 weeks indoors, with outdoor harvests occurring in late September to early October in northern hemisphere climates. Indoor yields are moderate to high, averaging 400-500 grams per square meter, while outdoor plants can produce 500-600 grams per plant under optimal conditions. The strain adapts well to both indoor and outdoor environments but prefers a controlled indoor setting or Mediterranean-like outdoor climate. Plants reach medium height, typically 120-160 cm indoors and 150-200 cm outdoors. Special considerations include maintaining stable temperatures during flowering to prevent hermaphroditism and providing adequate support for branches during late flowering as buds can become dense. The strain responds well to training techniques like topping and low-stress training.
