Genetics & Origin of Cheese
Cheese goes back to the original UK Cheese, which Green House Seeds describes as a phenotype of Skunk #1. The version from Green House Seed Co. is a selection of this line with 60% Indica and 40% Sativa. The manufacturer gives the cannabinoid values as 18.5% THC, 0.6% CBD and 0.35% CBN. As an award it cites a first place at the High Times Cannabis Cup 2006; the fact sheet adds "Best Seed Company" to this, so it remains open whether the prize went to the strain or to the breeder. The plant grows bushy, branching and vine-like. The seeds are feminised and photoperiod, so flowering only begins after the switch to 12/12. For comparison: a Skunk #1 and another Cheese by Barney's Farm are also available in the shop.
Who Is Cheese For?
Cheese is a highly aromatic classic with high yield potential. It suits:
- Fans of the spicy, cheesy Cheese aroma
- Indoor growers who work with SCRoG
- Gardeners who would like to harvest after 8 weeks of flowering
- Outdoor and greenhouse growers who want to harvest in late September
- Consumers looking for a powerful body stone in the evening
It is less suitable for anyone who wants to raise plants without supports and without an odour filter or who prefers a mild, inconspicuous aroma. You can find more proven lines under Classics and Landraces.
Growing Cheese: Indoor & Outdoor
Indoor Growing
Indoors, according to Green House Seeds, Cheese flowers for 8 weeks and yields up to 800 g/m². The growth is bushy, branching and vine-like, which is why the plants need support in flowering; the manufacturer recommends SCRoG, in which a net carries and spreads the shoots. It also stresses that a stable structure and good ventilation are important. Because the strain is extremely aromatic, a powerful carbon filter is part of the basic equipment. The breeder does not give a height. You will find the basics on climate and training in the Growpedia.
Outdoor Growing
Green House Seeds says Cheese is also suitable for open ground and the greenhouse. In the northern hemisphere, harvest falls in late September, and according to the manufacturer the yield is up to 800 g per plant. Outdoors, too, the vine-like shoots need supports, such as stakes or a trellis, and an airy location. The pungent smell is clearly noticeable in the garden – bear that in mind when choosing the spot. You can find more strains for open ground under outdoor seeds. Only grow where it is legal to do so.
Effect, Aroma & Flavour of Cheese
According to Green House Seeds, the scent is intense and pungent: cheesy and spicy with an earthy undertone. The manufacturer describes the flavour as piquant, full-bodied and slightly creamy – unmistakably Cheese. It does not state a lab terpene profile, but it does give cannabinoid values: 18.5% THC, 0.6% CBD and 0.35% CBN. According to the breeder, the effect sets in slowly and develops into an intense, long-lasting body stone that is strongly relaxing. Green House Seeds therefore assigns the strain to the evening. Anyone who does not yet know it should give the slow onset time and not top up too hastily. How intense the effect is depends on dose and individual tolerance.
