The Butter
Also known as: Butter Strain
The Butter Strain Overview
The Butter is a balanced hybrid cannabis strain that has gained attention for its smooth, creamy effects and rich flavor profile. While its exact origins are somewhat obscure in cannabis breeding history, it appears to have emerged in the early 2010s from West Coast breeders seeking to create a strain with both cerebral and physical effects. The name derives from its reportedly smooth, buttery smoke and the creamy texture of its resin production, which some users describe as having a consistency reminiscent of softened butter when properly cured.
The strain typically produces medium-sized, dense buds with a frosty trichome coating that gives them a glistening appearance. The coloration ranges from deep forest green to lighter lime hues, often with subtle purple undertones that may appear under certain growing conditions. Orange pistils weave throughout the buds, creating visual contrast. The Butter is known for its resinous quality, which makes it popular among concentrate producers and those interested in extraction methods.
Notably, The Butter has maintained a relatively niche following rather than achieving widespread commercial popularity. This limited distribution means that specific information about its genetics and breeding history varies between sources, and some details remain uncertain. The strain's reputation centers on its balanced effects that reportedly provide both mental stimulation and physical relaxation without overwhelming sedation, making it suitable for various times of day according to user reports.

The Butter Strain Growing Information
The Butter is considered a moderate-difficulty strain to cultivate, suitable for growers with some experience. It has a flowering time of approximately 8-9 weeks indoors, with outdoor harvests typically ready in late September to early October in northern hemisphere climates. The plant tends to grow to a medium height of 3-4 feet indoors and 4-6 feet outdoors, making it manageable for most growing spaces. It prefers a consistent climate with moderate humidity (40-50% during flowering) and responds well to both soil and hydroponic growing methods. The strain produces moderate to high yields when properly cared for, with indoor growers reporting 1.5-2 ounces per square foot and outdoor growers achieving 16-20 ounces per plant. Special considerations include maintaining good air circulation to prevent mold due to its dense bud structure and implementing low-stress training techniques to maximize light penetration and yield.
