Also known as: Moon Butter
What is the Moonbutter strain?
Moonbutter is a hybrid cannabis strain with up to 24.0% THC, known for its relaxed effects and citrus and creamy flavor profile.
Moonbutter is a modern hybrid cannabis strain that emerged in the late 2010s, gaining popularity in the Pacific Northwest region of the United States before spreading to other legal markets. The strain was developed through selective breeding to create a balanced hybrid with distinctive flavor characteristics and reliable effects. While its exact origins are somewhat obscure in the cannabis community, it represents the trend toward artisanal strains with unique terpene profiles.
Visually, Moonbutter typically produces medium-sized, dense buds with a structure that leans slightly toward its indica heritage. The flowers often display a range of green hues from light lime to deep forest green, frequently accented by vibrant orange pistils. A notable characteristic is the generous coating of trichomes that gives the buds a frosty, almost luminescent appearance under proper lighting, which likely contributed to the 'moon' portion of its name.
The strain's name references both its appearance and its reported effects, with 'butter' suggesting the smooth, creamy quality of the experience. Moonbutter has gained recognition among connoisseurs for its complex flavor profile and balanced effects that make it suitable for both recreational and potential therapeutic applications. As with many modern hybrids, its exact genetic lineage varies somewhat between different breeders' versions.

How do you grow Moonbutter?
Moonbutter 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 mid to late October in northern hemisphere climates. Indoor yields are generally moderate to high, producing approximately 400-500 grams per square meter under optimal conditions. Outdoor plants can yield 500-700 grams per plant in favorable environments.
The plants tend to maintain a manageable height, usually staying between 100-150 cm indoors, making them suitable for limited space grows. Moonbutter responds well to both soil and hydroponic growing methods, though it prefers stable environmental conditions with consistent temperature and humidity control. The strain benefits from training techniques like topping and low-stress training to maximize yield and light penetration. Growers should monitor for common cannabis pests and maintain good airflow to prevent mold, particularly in the dense buds during late flowering.
