Butterscotch Breath
Also known as: Butterscotch Breath OG
Butterscotch Breath Strain Overview
Butterscotch Breath is a hybrid cannabis strain developed by crossing the popular Mendo Breath with the potent OG Kush Breath. This strain emerged from the California cannabis scene in the late 2010s, gaining recognition for its unique flavor profile and balanced effects. Breeders sought to combine the dessert-like qualities of Mendo Breath with the classic OG structure and potency, resulting in a strain that appeals to both recreational and medicinal users.
The strain's appearance is characterized by dense, chunky buds with a forest green coloration accented by vibrant orange pistils. A generous coating of trichomes gives the flowers a frosty, crystalline appearance that hints at its potency. The buds are typically medium to large in size with a tight, indica-dominant structure, though some phenotypes may exhibit more sativa-like stretching. The strain's name derives from its distinctive aroma, which combines sweet butterscotch notes with the gassy, fuel-like undertones characteristic of OG varieties.
Butterscotch Breath has gained popularity in both medical and recreational markets for its reliable effects and complex terpene profile. While not as widely distributed as some mainstream strains, it has developed a dedicated following among connoisseurs who appreciate its unique flavor combination. The strain's genetics provide a good balance between cerebral stimulation and physical relaxation, making it suitable for various times of day depending on dosage and individual tolerance.

Butterscotch Breath Strain Growing Information
Butterscotch Breath is considered a moderate-difficulty strain to cultivate, suitable for growers with some experience. The flowering time typically ranges from 8 to 10 weeks when grown indoors, with outdoor harvests occurring in mid to late October in northern hemisphere climates. Indoor yields are generally good, producing approximately 400-500 grams per square meter under optimal conditions. Outdoor plants can yield 500-600 grams per plant in favorable environments.
The strain prefers a controlled indoor environment but can also thrive outdoors in Mediterranean-like climates with consistent temperatures. Plants tend to remain medium in height, usually reaching 100-150 cm indoors and 150-200 cm outdoors. Butterscotch Breath responds well to training techniques like topping and low-stress training to maximize yields and manage height. Growers should monitor humidity levels carefully during flowering to prevent mold, as the dense buds can be susceptible in high humidity conditions. The strain benefits from a balanced nutrient regimen with particular attention to phosphorus during flowering to support bud development.
