What is the Butterfly strain?

Butterfly is a hybrid cannabis strain with up to 24.0% THC, known for its relaxed effects and citrus and earthy flavor profile.

Butterfly is a relatively rare hybrid cannabis strain that has gained attention among connoisseurs for its unique terpene profile and balanced effects. The strain's exact origins are somewhat obscure, with limited documentation available about its development. What is known suggests it emerged from boutique breeding circles in the Pacific Northwest region of the United States during the early 2010s, though some sources indicate it may have European lineage. The name 'Butterfly' reportedly comes from the delicate, fluttering sensation users experience during the onset of effects, rather than any visual characteristic of the plant itself.

The strain produces medium-sized, dense buds with a distinctive appearance featuring dark green foliage contrasted by vibrant orange pistils. A generous coating of trichomes gives the flowers a frosty, crystalline appearance. The buds typically have a moderately dense structure that breaks apart easily when handled. Butterfly's most notable characteristic is its complex aroma profile that evolves as the flowers are cured and consumed.

Butterfly remains somewhat elusive in mainstream cannabis markets, primarily available through specialty dispensaries and boutique growers. Its rarity means that consistent phenotypes can be difficult to find, and the strain's characteristics may vary between different growers' expressions. Despite its limited availability, Butterfly has maintained a dedicated following among users who appreciate its nuanced effects and flavor profile.

How do you grow Butterfly?

Butterfly is considered a moderate-difficulty strain to cultivate, requiring some experience to achieve optimal results. The plants typically flower in 8-10 weeks indoors, with outdoor harvests occurring in mid to late October in northern hemisphere climates. Indoor yields are moderate, averaging 400-500 grams per square meter under optimal conditions. Outdoor plants can produce 500-600 grams per plant in favorable environments.

The strain adapts well to both indoor and outdoor growing, though indoor cultivation allows better control over environmental factors. Plants tend to remain medium in height, making them suitable for limited spaces. Butterfly prefers a Mediterranean-like climate with consistent temperatures and moderate humidity when grown outdoors. Growers should monitor for common cannabis pests and maintain proper air circulation to prevent mold, particularly during the flowering stage when buds become dense. Some phenotypes may require additional support during late flowering as buds develop weight.
