Cheese
Cheese
Also known as: UK Cheese, Exodus Cheese, Original Cheese, English Cheese
Overview
The Cheese strain has its origins in the United States in the 1980s, when legendary breeder Sam "the Skunkman" of Sacred Seeds transported his iconic Skunk #1 genetics to Amsterdam. Growers in the UK caught wind of these genetics in the late 1980s, where an unknown grower discovered a unique phenotype with a particularly cheesy aroma not seen in regular Skunk #1 plants, which was then preserved and eventually ended up in the hands of The Exodus Collective. Known for their social activism and massive free parties, Cheese gained enormous popularity in the UK cannabis scene and has remained at such heights ever since. Originating in the United Kingdom during the 1980s, cheese genetics trace their lineage to a unique Skunk #1 phenotype that stood out for its pungent, cheese-like aroma. Cheese strains are known for their dense, resin-coated buds that exude a rich, savory aroma reminiscent of aged cheese with hints of earthiness and spice, and often produce plants that are indica-dominant or balanced hybrids. The strain is characterized by its distinctive appearance, with medium to tall plants that develop strong branches and sharp leaflets, making it easily recognizable among cannabis varieties.

Growing Information
Cheese has a relatively short flowering time, typically finishing in 8 to 10 weeks when grown indoors, making it a popular choice for growers looking for a quick harvest without compromising quality. Growing Cheese is relatively straightforward and forgiving, tolerating minor mistakes, making it perfect for beginners, with robust genetics ensuring it thrives even with basic care. Cheese thrives in temperate and sunny climates, preferring temperatures between 70 and 80 degrees Fahrenheit. Indoors, crops produce about 400 gr/m² (1.31 oz/ft²), while outdoor yields average 550 g/m². Indoors, it's crucial to maintain good ventilation and constant humidity control to avoid mold and mildew problems, and the strain adapts perfectly to cultivation techniques like SOG or SCROG. One advantage is its remarkable resistance to pests and diseases, with strong branches and leaves protecting it against common problems. The strain can grow quite tall outdoors, reaching up to 2.5 meters in height.
