Automatic Cheese
Also known as: Auto Cheese, Cheese Auto
Automatic Cheese Strain Overview
Automatic Cheese is an autoflowering cannabis strain that combines the genetics of classic Cheese varieties with ruderalis genetics to create a plant that flowers automatically based on age rather than light cycles. The strain traces its origins to the famous UK Cheese phenotype that emerged in the late 1980s, which was crossed with autoflowering genetics to create this convenient cultivation variety. The original Cheese phenotype is believed to have descended from a Skunk #1 clone that developed unique cheesy characteristics through selective breeding in the United Kingdom.
Automatic Cheese plants typically exhibit indica-dominant growth patterns with bushy structures and dense, resinous buds. The flowers are characterized by their pale green coloration with occasional purple hues and are covered in a thick layer of trichomes. The strain's most distinctive feature is its pungent aroma, which combines sharp cheese notes with earthy undertones and hints of skunk. As an autoflowering variety, Automatic Cheese completes its entire life cycle in approximately 8-10 weeks from seed to harvest, making it particularly suitable for growers seeking quick turnaround times or those with limited growing experience.
The strain maintains the classic Cheese flavor profile while incorporating the cultivation advantages of autoflowering genetics. Users typically report effects that begin with cerebral stimulation followed by gradual body relaxation. The automatic flowering trait makes this strain particularly valuable for outdoor growers in regions with short growing seasons or unpredictable weather patterns. While not as potent as some photoperiod Cheese varieties, Automatic Cheese offers reliable performance and consistent effects in a compact, easy-to-grow package.

Automatic Cheese Strain Growing Information
Automatic Cheese is considered an easy-to-grow strain suitable for beginners due to its autoflowering nature and resilience. The strain flowers automatically after 3-4 weeks of vegetative growth, with total seed-to-harvest time typically ranging from 8-10 weeks. Plants remain relatively compact, usually reaching heights of 60-100 cm (24-40 inches) indoors and slightly taller outdoors. Expected yields are moderate, with indoor growers typically harvesting 300-400 grams per square meter and outdoor growers achieving 40-80 grams per plant.
The strain performs well in both indoor and outdoor environments, though it particularly excels in outdoor gardens where its automatic flowering allows for multiple harvests per season in suitable climates. Automatic Cheese prefers Mediterranean-like conditions with plenty of sunlight and moderate humidity. Growers should avoid overwatering and provide adequate nutrients during the flowering phase. The plants are generally resistant to common molds and pests, though proper air circulation is recommended to prevent bud rot in dense colas. Training techniques like low-stress training (LST) can help maximize yields, but high-stress techniques should be avoided due to the plant's autoflowering nature and limited recovery time.
