Overview
Cheestar 99 is a balanced hybrid cannabis strain developed by Shaman Genetics as a cross between two legendary strains: UK Cheese and Star 99. This cultivar represents a tribute to cannabis growers worldwide, combining the vigorous growth and exceptional resin quality of Star 99 with the extraordinary flavor and excellent flowering characteristics of UK Cheese. The strain produces compact plants with branches densely packed with buds and resin of exceptional quality, making it highly sought after among both cultivators and consumers.
The genetic lineage of Cheestar 99 traces back to some of cannabis's most iconic strains. The UK Cheese parent is a phenotype of Skunk #1 that was developed by the UK's Exodus Collective in the 1990s, known for its distinctive cheesy aroma and balanced effects. The Star 99 parent combines Star Dawg (Chem 4 x Tres Dawg) with Cinderella 99, creating a potent and resinous strain with complex effects. This combination results in a 50/50 indica/sativa hybrid that offers the best characteristics of both parent strains, delivering a well-rounded experience that appeals to a wide range of cannabis enthusiasts.

Growing Information
Cheestar 99 is suitable for both indoor and outdoor cultivation, though it requires careful attention to odor control due to its pungent aroma. For indoor growing, Shaman Genetics recommends limiting vegetative growth to no more than 15 days and using 11-liter pots. Charcoal filters are essential due to the strain's strong smell. The flowering period is relatively quick at 55-65 days indoors. For outdoor cultivation, a minimum of 25-liter containers is advised, though the strain reaches maximum potential when grown directly in earth, where plants can exceed 1000 grams yield. The strain produces compact plants with dense, resinous buds and exhibits strong lateral branching. Harvest typically occurs between October 1-10 for outdoor grows.
