Cheese 5 seeds
Cheese Seeds – the UK Classic by Big Buddha Seeds
What is Cheese? Cheese by Big Buddha Seeds, also called Big Buddha Cheese, is a feminised, photoperiod strain that the breeder developed from the original Cheese and an Afghani male and backcrossed with the Cheese mother. It is considered Indica-dominant, flowers for 7 to 9 weeks and does not ripen outdoors until late October. The intense old-school cheese smell and a clear, long-lasting high are typical. Because of the late outdoor harvest, it is a strain for experienced growers – in the Classics and Landraces category. Available in a pack of 5 seeds.

Genetics & Origin of Cheese
For its Cheese, Big Buddha Seeds took the original Cheese, crossed it with an Afghani male and crossed the offspring back again with the Cheese mother. The breeder gives the lineage as Skunk No.1 × Afghani × Cheese (backcross). The result, by its account, is one of the purest Cheese lines, which retains the typical characteristics of the original and at the same time brings more yield. The strain is considered Indica-dominant; percentages are not stated. The breeder rates the THC content as high to very high and the CBD content as low – it does not give figures. The seeds are feminised and photoperiod. As awards, Big Buddha Seeds lists a placing in the Indica category at the High Times Cannabis Cup 2006 and a 2nd place at the Treating Yourself Expo 2011. An autoflowering Cheese from the same breeder is Auto Cheese by Big Buddha Seeds.
Who Is Cheese For?
Cheese is an aroma-packed classic for growers with experience. It suits:
- Experienced growers who can bring a late-ripening strain safely over the finish line
- Fans of the original, intense cheese smell
- Indoor growers who plan for 7 to 9 weeks of flowering
- Outdoor gardeners in temperate to warm locations with a long autumn
- Consumers looking for a clear, stimulating high for creative or sociable hours
Cheese is less suitable for a first grow: the breeder itself gives the difficulty level as medium to high, and outdoors it is not finished until late October. You can find more strains of this kind under Indica strains.
Growing Cheese: Indoor & Outdoor
Indoor Growing
Big Buddha Seeds gives the flowering time as 7 to 9 weeks and rates the indoor yield as high; the breeder states neither a figure in g/m² nor a plant height. It describes the difficulty level as medium to high and recommends the strain to experienced growers. In practical terms, the smell is the most important point: the intense cheese scent calls for a powerful carbon filter and airtight exhaust ducting. Good air movement within the crop keeps the flowers dry in the final weeks. You will find the basics on climate and air extraction in the Growpedia.
Outdoor Growing
Outdoors, according to the breeder, Cheese thrives best in temperate to warm climate zones. Harvest does not fall until late October – that is the reason why we rate it as a strain for experienced growers: in cool, damp autumn locations things get tight, and a sheltered spot or a greenhouse is then the safe choice. Big Buddha Seeds does not state a yield per plant or an outdoor height. Only grow where it is legal to do so.
Effect, Aroma & Flavour of Cheese
The scent is unmistakable: Big Buddha Seeds describes a unique, intense old-school cheese smell, as known from the classic Cheese lines. In flavour, the strain is fruity and “dank”, accompanied by a strong earthy note. The breeder does not give a lab terpene profile. It portrays the effect as a very stimulating, clear and long-lasting high without a noticeable “ceiling” – a rush of euphoria that it recommends for creative activities and sociable moments. Big Buddha Seeds rates the THC content as high to very high without giving a figure; the CBD content is low. How intense the effect is depends on dose and personal tolerance.
