What is the Cheese Quake strain?
Cheese Quake is a hybrid cannabis strain with up to 22.0% THC, known for its relaxed effects and berry and cheese flavor profile.
Cheese Quake is an indica-dominant hybrid strain developed by Subcool's The Dank, a renowned cannabis breeding collective. This strain represents a sophisticated genetic cross between Cheese, a pungent phenotype of Skunk #1, and Querkle, itself a hybrid of Space Queen and Purple Urkle. The resulting strain maintains a near-equal balance of indica and sativa traits with a slight indica lean (60% indica/40% sativa), though individual phenotypes can vary in expression. Cheese Quake has gained significant recognition for its unique genetic profile, potent effects, and distinctive aromatic characteristics.
Physically, Cheese Quake produces small to medium-sized buds with dense, popcorn-like structure typical of indica genetics. The flowers display a mossy green coloration threaded with abundant orange pistils, while certain phenotypes exhibit striking purple hues ranging from lavender to deep indigo, caused by anthocyanin expression when exposed to cooler temperatures. The buds are heavily coated in cloudy white trichomes, making them notably resinous. This strain is particularly valued for its complex terpene profile dominated by myrcene, limonene, and caryophyllene, which contribute to both its therapeutic potential and recreational appeal.

How do you grow Cheese Quake?
Cheese Quake is considered difficult to grow and demands precise environmental control and nutrient management. The plants reach medium height with robust lateral branching and broad indica-like leaves during vegetative stage. Indoor flowering time ranges from 55-65 days (8-9 weeks), producing impressive yields when properly cultivated. Plants benefit greatly from pruning, LST (Low Stress Training) techniques, and regular topping to encourage lateral growth and better bud production. The strain requires slightly more sunlight than average and thrives in both indoor and outdoor environments, though indoor cultivation allows for better environmental control. Temperature drops of 10°F during night cycles can enhance purple pigmentation. Humidity should be maintained at 30-40% during flowering phase to prevent mold and mildew. This strain produces very resinous, aromatic flowers and may require odor control measures due to its pungent smell during cultivation.
