Butter Balm

Butter Balm is a pure sativa strain that has quietly built a dedicated following. This infamous bud boasts a THC level that ranges from 12-18% on average, with 0.4% CBD. Seeds come in regular form, and demand from home growers has never really slowed.

Users describe the Butter Balm high as an immediate uplifting cerebral rush that sharpens focus and sets off waves of creative energy, keeping you motivated and sociable without weighing down the body. A soft physical ease settles in beneath the head high, smoothing out the energy so it never turns jittery or racy. These combined effects make Butter Balm a frequent pick among patients dealing with mild to moderate depression and chronic fatigue, and a reliable standby for anyone medicating on a schedule.

On the palate, expect sweet and coffee up front, backed by an aroma that fills the room the moment the jar opens. Each exhale leaves a sweet-tinged aftertaste that keeps you coming back for one more taste. This bud has long tapered spade-shaped olive green nugs with deep purple undertones, rust-colored hairs and a thick coat of frosty crystal trichomes.

For growers, Butter Balm offers a manageable grow for anyone with a harvest or two behind them — expect plants flowering in a standard 9-10 weeks, at home indoors or outdoors. Given steady feeding and a little light training, it rewards the effort with heavy, resin-coated colas. Plants stretch to a medium height with strong side branching, equally at home in a tent or a garden bed. Its genetics run through the wider Butter family — see Butter Fat OG and Butter Fuel for close relatives worth comparing before you buy.
