Butterscotch Strain

Butterscotch is an indica strain with 19% THC, 1% CBG, and trace amounts of other cannabinoids. Born from the genetic crossing of Bubba Kush x Blueberry, this strain lives up to its namesake with an enchanting butterscotch candy aroma that immediately captures attention.

The strain delivers a powerful indica experience characterized by deeply sedating and sleep-inducing effects. Its flavor profile combines notes of butter, honey, and pineapple, creating a sweet and complex taste experience. Users typically report feeling sleepy, giggly, relaxed, euphoric, and creative during their sessions.

Medical Uses of Butterscotch

Butterscotch has shown particular effectiveness in addressing insomnia, making it a popular choice for nighttime use. The strain’s sedative properties work effectively to calm both body and mind, providing relief from stress and anxiety.

Patients seeking relief from depression may benefit from the strain’s mood-lifting properties. However, users should note that dizziness can occur, particularly with higher doses, so careful dosing is recommended, especially for new users.

Growing Information on Butterscotch

Limited growing information is available for the Butterscotch strain. Based on user reports, there appear to be two distinct phenotypes: one showing purple coloration with indica characteristics, and another displaying green coloration with purple tips on top colas.

The sativa-leaning phenotype is noted for producing substantial trichome coverage and developing a distinctive citrus-pineapple aroma. Outdoor growers report a flowering period of 9-11 weeks with significant stretch during the flowering phase.
