Arne's Cheese
Also known as: Arne's Cheese #1, Arne's Cheese Pheno
Arne's Cheese Strain Overview
Arne's Cheese is a relatively rare indica-dominant cannabis strain that represents a specific phenotype selection from the broader Cheese family. The strain originated in the United Kingdom during the late 1990s or early 2000s, when a breeder named Arne selected this particular phenotype from Cheese genetics. This selection process focused on enhancing the distinctive cheese aroma while maintaining the relaxing effects characteristic of Cheese varieties. The strain remains somewhat obscure outside of specialist cannabis circles and certain European markets, with limited commercial availability compared to more mainstream Cheese phenotypes.
Visually, Arne's Cheese typically displays dense, chunky buds with a forest green coloration often accented by vibrant orange pistils. The flowers are usually heavily coated in trichomes, giving them a frosty appearance. The most distinguishing feature is its powerful aroma profile, which combines the classic funky, pungent cheese scent with subtle earthy and skunky undertones. Some phenotypes may exhibit slight citrus or diesel notes in the background. The flavor generally mirrors the aroma, delivering a complex palate that begins with sharp cheese notes followed by earthy, musky tones on the exhale.
This strain is noted for its relatively fast flowering time compared to some other Cheese varieties, making it appealing to growers seeking quicker harvests. The effects are typically described as deeply relaxing and physically sedating, with a moderate cerebral component that provides initial euphoria before transitioning to full-body relaxation. Due to its rarity and specific lineage, Arne's Cheese is primarily preserved by dedicated breeders and collectors who value its unique expression of Cheese genetics, though it has influenced several hybrid strains that incorporate its distinctive terpene profile.

Arne's Cheese Strain Growing Information
Arne's Cheese is considered moderately difficult to cultivate, requiring some experience to maximize its potential. The strain has a flowering time of approximately 8-9 weeks indoors, with outdoor harvests typically ready by late September to early October in northern hemisphere climates. Indoor yields are moderate, producing around 400-500 grams per square meter under optimal conditions, while outdoor plants can yield 500-600 grams per plant. The plant prefers indoor cultivation where environmental factors can be carefully controlled, though it can be grown outdoors in Mediterranean or similar climates with consistent warmth and low humidity.
The plant structure is typically bushy and indica-dominant, reaching heights of 100-150 cm indoors and potentially taller outdoors. Growers should implement training techniques like topping or low-stress training to manage height and improve light penetration. This strain is somewhat sensitive to mold and mildew, particularly in humid conditions, so proper air circulation and humidity control (ideally below 50% during flowering) are crucial. Nutrient requirements are moderate, with some phenotypes showing sensitivity to overfeeding. The distinctive cheese aroma becomes particularly strong during the final weeks of flowering, requiring adequate odor control measures for discreet cultivation.
