Mendo Butter
Also known as: Mendo Butter OG
Mendo Butter Strain Overview
Mendo Butter is an indica-dominant hybrid cannabis strain that originated in the Mendocino County region of Northern California, an area renowned for its cannabis cultivation heritage. The strain was developed by local breeders seeking to create a potent, flavorful indica with relaxing properties suitable for both recreational and potential therapeutic use. Its name references both its geographic origins and its smooth, buttery smoke experience.
The strain is characterized by dense, resinous buds that typically display a forest green color with occasional purple hues, covered in a thick layer of frosty trichomes and vibrant orange pistils. The buds are often compact and chunky, with a sticky texture that makes them challenging to break apart by hand. Mendo Butter's aroma profile is complex, combining earthy, buttery notes with hints of pine and citrus, which translate directly to its flavor when smoked or vaporized.
Notable features of Mendo Butter include its high resin production, making it popular among concentrate makers, and its relatively fast flowering time compared to other indica varieties. The strain has gained a reputation among cannabis connoisseurs for its smooth smoke and potent effects that are often described as deeply relaxing without being overly sedating. While primarily cultivated in Northern California, Mendo Butter has gained popularity in medical and recreational markets across the United States.

Mendo Butter Strain Growing Information
Mendo Butter is considered a moderate-difficulty strain to cultivate, suitable for growers with some experience. The strain has a flowering time of approximately 8-9 weeks when grown indoors, with outdoor harvests typically ready in late September to early October. Indoor growers can expect medium to high yields of 400-500 grams per square meter under optimal conditions, while outdoor plants can produce 500-600 grams per plant in suitable climates.
The plant prefers a Mediterranean-like climate with plenty of sunlight and moderate humidity when grown outdoors. It can be cultivated both indoors and outdoors, though indoor cultivation allows for better environmental control. Mendo Butter plants typically reach a medium height of 3-4 feet indoors and 4-6 feet outdoors. Special considerations include maintaining good air circulation to prevent mold due to the dense bud structure, and providing adequate support for branches during late flowering as buds become heavy with resin. The strain responds well to both soil and hydroponic growing methods.
