Growing Tips for Butterscotch
Butterscotch is a notoriously easy strain to grow, even if you have limited experience cultivating cannabis plants. Butterscotch marijuana plants will thrive both indoors and outdoors, but will have an easier time growing indoors because of the grower’s ability to manage the climate. If you choose to grow indoors, you will have to replicate a steady environment similar to the climate of California in the summer. Butterscotch seeds produce plants that are bright green with faded orange pistils throughout. If you are going to grow outdoors, you will need to maintain a consistent temperature and humidity to grow these plants to harvest. Doing so will ensure that you grow potent and pungent buds from the top of the plants to the bottom. Having access to a greenhouse is the best way to give these plants the perfect outdoor climate they require without having to put up with unexpected outdoor variables. These plants grow tall and can reach around 8 feet in height. Because the plants reach a maximum height of 8 feet, they require ample vertical space to grow correctly. The ideal temperature for these plants is around 65-70 degrees Fahrenheit. Humidity levels should be kept at 40-70% during the vegetative growth stage and the flowering stage. Growing indoors will ensure that the moderate humidity levels and moderate temperatures are constant and maintained every day that the plants are in the growing stages. High-stress training (HST) and Low-stress training (LST) methods are best suited for this strain, as well as the Screen of Green (ScrOG) training method. Each of these methods helps the plant reach higher yields come harvest time by focusing on the best buds and trimming or clipping the buds that aren’t producing. The Butterscotch strain requires an 18-20 hour light cycle to reach the vegetative stage of growth. Adjusting the light cycle to a 12/12 cycle will induce the flowering stage of growth and help get your plants to harvest.
Yields, Flowering Time, and Harvest
- Flowering Time: Growing indoors, you can expect the Butterscotch strain to harvest after a short flowering period of 55-65 days.
- Yields: While Indoor yields are around 450 grams per square meter, outdoor grows typically produce up to 450 grams per plant. A short flowering stage and easy grow make these yields a welcome reward for the hard work put into growing these plants.
- Harvest: Outdoor growers can plan on harvesting their yields around the middle of October, depending on when the seeds were planted.
Butterscotch: Sweet Candy
The Butterscotch terpene profile is directly responsible for how the plant smells and tastes, and the strong effects it has on its users. The most dominant terpene in this strain is caryophyllene, while linalool and limonene are the secondary terpenes.
- Caryophyllene: Most Dominant – The peppery and spicy terpene, you can find caryophyllene in cannabis as well as cinnamon and black pepper.
- Linalool: Secondary Terpene – Linalool is a floral and fragrant terpene commonly found in lavender and some cannabis cultivars.
- Limonene: Citrus Flavor and Aroma – You can find limonene in the rinds of citrus fruits and in cannabis plants.

I’ll never forget the excitement I felt planting my very first cannabis seeds! The anticipation built as I watered them, and sure enough, tiny leaves began to break through the surface.

Who can say no to Butterscotch? I know I cannot, so this strain is always prevalent in my garden. I love how I can use it recreationally and medically, so I get plenty of use out of it. The high is moderate, so you won’t get too overwhelmed. The tingling sensation feels like a warm hug and puts you to sleep for a restful night.

It’s hard to find a strain as outright delicious as butterscotch! I loved buying this weed online, it was convenient and very fast to ship out to my apartment. The results were absolutely amazing! I was able to plant my seeds in the earth, and they grew like wildfire. Heck, I barely had a chance to prune! Somehow I managed to yield 400 G 🙂 The flower was sweet and very green! Beautiful sticky trichomes covered the entire plant!

Butterscotch really says it all, this weed is light bright and cozy. Best weed I have ever smoked! Gives me freedom I have never felt before. Growing my own weed has been empowering and very fun! It’s been so good for me after my surgery. It’s a lovely way to get active in the garden and it’s very affordable. Everybody should be growing their own weed.

Butterscotch pudding anyone? Loved growing these mj seeds out in the yard this summer. Even the kids had fun around the garden. Great way to get outdoors and explore a new growing hobby. Smells pretty amazing too, kind of sweet and sour and maybe the smoothest creamiest smoke I;ve ever tasted. Perfect nighttime indica for anxious fellows like myself!
