About Cheese Strain

Named for its sharply sour aroma, Cheese Strain is an indica-dominant hybrid from the U.K. that has achieved widespread popularity for its unique flavor and consistent potency.

More about Cheese

With origins that stretch back to the late 1980s, Cheese is said to descend from a Skunk #1 phenotype whose pungent aroma made it stand out. Breeders like Big Buddha Seeds later introduced Afghani indica genetics to increase Cheese’s trichome production and yields. The resulting strain is now well-known for its relaxed, happy effects that gently ease you into a blissful state of mind.

The Cheese strain is a feminized hybrid from the U.K. This indica-dominant cannabis delivers consistent potency and a distinct, musky flavor. As a direct descendant of the hybrid Skunk #1, its aroma is quite pungent. When cultivated properly, Cheese seeds yield high amounts of marijuana with average THC levels of 14% and quite some CBD.

 

 

Cheese cannabis is very easy to grow because it’s so resistant to disease and other environmental conditions. This indica-dominant strain of cannabis can be grown indoors or outdoors. However, yields are higher when cultivated outdoors because this method gives the plants more room for growth.

These are feminized seeds. Female plants, contrary to male plants, are the ones that actually produce weed. They start flowering when they receive less light per day, i.e. in the Fall or when you manipulate the light cycle indoors.

Cheese seeds are very easy to cultivate, even for beginner and amateur cannabis growers. This strain can be grown indoors or outdoors. Each bush will produce lots of thick buds and flower spots.

According to expert growers, it cultivates best indoors. However, when grown outdoors, this bushy plant requires mild Mediterranean climates and an abundance of warmth and sunshine.

Flowering Time

When cultivated indoors, your Cheese cannabis plants will flower and be ready for harvesting within 9 to 10 weeks. The setting must be well-optimized to resemble warm, sunny conditions. Your plants will yield about 14 ounces of usable marijuana per square meter.

Growing Cheese outdoors may cause more work, as you’ll have to carefully monitor weather and other environmental conditions. However, your yields will be higher when cultivating this marijuana strain outdoors. Expect to yield about 21 ounces of usable cannabis per plant, which will be ready for harvesting around mid-October.
