Cheese Louise
Also known as: Cheese Louise OG
Cheese Louise Strain Overview
Cheese Louise is a hybrid cannabis strain that emerged in the early 2010s, primarily cultivated on the West Coast of the United States. The strain represents a modern interpretation of classic cheese genetics, developed by crossing Cheese strains with potent OG varieties. While its exact origins are somewhat obscure in cannabis breeding records, it gained popularity through West Coast dispensaries and has become known for its distinctive aromatic profile and balanced effects.
The strain's appearance typically features dense, resin-coated buds with a structure that leans slightly toward its indica heritage. The nugs are often medium to large in size, displaying deep green coloration with occasional purple hues that emerge under cooler growing conditions. Orange pistils weave through the buds, and a thick coating of trichomes gives them a frosty appearance. The plant structure tends to be bushy with moderate internodal spacing, making it suitable for various growing techniques.
Cheese Louise is particularly notable for its complex aromatic profile that combines the pungent, savory notes characteristic of Cheese strains with the earthy, pine undertones of OG varieties. This combination creates a distinctive sensory experience that has contributed to the strain's popularity among connoisseurs. The effects are typically described as well-balanced, offering both cerebral stimulation and physical relaxation, making it suitable for various times of day depending on individual tolerance and dosage.

Cheese Louise Strain Growing Information
Cheese Louise is considered a moderately difficult strain to cultivate, suitable for growers with some experience. The flowering time typically ranges from 8 to 10 weeks indoors, with outdoor harvests occurring in late September to early October in northern hemisphere climates. Indoor yields are generally moderate to high, producing approximately 14-18 ounces per square meter, while outdoor plants can yield 16-20 ounces per plant under optimal conditions.
The plant prefers a Mediterranean-like climate when grown outdoors, with plenty of sunlight and moderate humidity. Indoors, it responds well to both soil and hydroponic systems. Cheese Louise tends to stay at a manageable height, usually reaching 3-4 feet indoors and 4-6 feet outdoors. The strain requires good air circulation to prevent mold due to its dense bud structure. Regular pruning and training techniques like topping or LST (low-stress training) can help maximize yields and light penetration. Nutrient requirements are moderate, with particular attention needed during the flowering phase when the plant develops its dense, resinous buds.
