Cheese

The Cheese autoflower marijuana strain has two hugely popular parent strains in Skunk No. 1 and Afghani. Originally developed by Philosopher Seeds, Cheese actually gets its name from its super potent aroma, which has been described as the scent of “Stinky Socks”. While the description of the aroma of Cheese Auto is less than favorable, it is easy to grow indoors and out and produces highly favorable yields. The award-winning bud even has ties to Great Britain. This Indica-leaning strain provides rapid and lucid, mind-expanding cerebral effects with just the right amount of “Stoney” euphoria before its potent body-numbing high takes over. If you’re a fan of unique buds and want to catch a decent buzz, then Cheese might just be the perfect strain for you. Adding Cheese to your arsenal is a decision you won’t ever regret!

Cheese: Cheesy and Pungent

Cheese seeds will grow into very tall and thin plants. These plants feature smaller leaves, longer stalks, and branches and buds that can reach up to a foot in length if they are left unattended. The leaves on this monster of a plant are bright green, while the buds appear pale because of the dusty crystal resin trichomes covering the entirety of the buds. You can also see some red and orange pistils growing out of the bud sites. The notable thing about this specific strain is that you can smell it long before you ever see it. The finished nuggets are leafy and green with a mix of red and amber hairs. The dusty resin is still attached but the nuggets aren’t as covered as they were when on the stems. The Cheese strain won first place for Indica Strains at the 2006 High Times Cannabis Cup. This award launched Cheese into the commercial cannabis world and gave it its reputation as a bomb bud. Since its inception, the Cheese strain of cannabis has become a fan favorite worldwide. Users and growers both love this strain and it has positive reviews online to prove that fact.

Growing Tips for Our Seeds

Cheese is a beginner-friendly strain. While experienced growers have said that Cheese is a strain that prefers to be grown indoors, the fact of the matter is that as long as the outdoor grow is done properly, this strain is successful no matter where it is grown. If you are going to grow outside, the strain thrives in Mediterranean-type climates with plenty of light and fresh air. Light is key regardless of where you grow. Cheese soaks up the sun and does really well in warmer climates. As long as you stay on top of your grow, you shouldn’t have a problem growing indoors or outdoors. Keep in mind that the strain grows tall, so it will need ample space to thrive.

Dial in Your Growing Conditions

  • Indoor or Outdoor: Cheese cannabis plants can be grown indoors and outdoors by all levels of growers but are best grown by experienced cultivators. The ideal temperature for these plants is around 75 degrees Fahrenheit. During the vegetative phase, maintain a light cycle of 18-20 hours of light per day to promote healthy growth. Switching the light cycle to 12/12 is the best way to induce the flowering stage and continue on to harvest.
  •  Moisture control: Humidity levels should be kept around 50-60% during the vegetative stage and maintained at 40-50% during the flowering stage of growth. Approaching the late flowering stage, you will want an even lower humidity level, around 30%, to facilitate drying.
  • Training Techniques: Low-stress training (LST) and topping methods are the best choices for this strain as they promote light penetration to the lower levels of the plant, creating bigger buds and a higher yield. Topping the plants requires adjusting the canopy to allow air and light to travel down the stems and reach as low as the soil floor.

The Germination Game Plan

Before you even plant your Cheese female cannabis plants, you will first need to germinate these seeds. To do so, refer to our free germination guide, knowing that they are backed by our impressive 90% germination guarantee.

Yields, Flowering Time, and Harvest

  • Flowering Time: Growing indoors, you can expect to harvest after a flowering period of 60-70 days. If you can grow this Indica-leaning hybrid outdoors, you will reap its bountiful harvest sometime around the middle part of October.
  • Yields: While Indoor yields are around 400 grams per square meter, outdoor grows typically produce up to 600 grams per plant. These yields are massively successful, proving that you grew this strain to near perfection. If you are a first-time grower, you should be super happy with these numbers.

Dominant Terpenes in Cheese: Skunky Delicious

The Cheese 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 limonene and linalool are secondary terpenes.

  • Caryophyllene: Most Dominant – The spicy and peppery terpene found in nature as well as in some cannabis strains.
  • Linalool: Secondary Terpene – Found in lavender and basil, this terpene is directly responsible for flavor and aroma when it comes to cannabis plants.
  • Limonene: Citrus Flavors – Found in the rinds of citrus fruits and cannabis plants.

Dominant Cannabinoids in Cheese:

Cannabinoids play an important role in Cheese seeds and are generally a huge part of most strains of cannabis. That happy, relaxed, and euphoric feeling you get when enjoying the Cheese strain is due to its dominant cannabinoids. Each cannabinoid does something different to the user.

  • THC: The Main Character – THC is the most dominant cannabinoid on the molecular level of this strain. The crystalline compound tetrahydrocannabinol is the main ingredient of cannabis. Topping out at 20%, the THC in this Indica-dominant strain is responsible for the relaxed and euphoric feeling you get when enjoying Cheese cannabis.
  • CBD: Very Minimal Amounts – The CBD levels in Cheese are around 1%.
