Cheesy Amethyst
Also known as: Cheese Amethyst, Amethyst Cheese
Cheesy Amethyst Strain Overview
Cheesy Amethyst is a hybrid cannabis strain that combines the distinctive aromatic qualities of Cheese genetics with the visual appeal and balanced effects of Amethyst varieties. The strain's exact origins are somewhat obscure in cannabis breeding records, but it appears to have emerged in the early 2010s as breeders sought to create strains with both potent effects and striking visual characteristics. It represents a cross between Cheese-dominant genetics and Amethyst, a strain known for its purple coloration and balanced hybrid effects.
The strain is characterized by dense, resinous buds that often display a striking color palette ranging from deep green to vibrant purple hues, particularly in cooler growing conditions. The purple coloration, from which it derives part of its name, results from anthocyanin pigments that become more pronounced with temperature fluctuations during the flowering phase. The buds are typically covered in a thick layer of trichomes, giving them a frosty appearance that contrasts with the colorful calyxes.
Cheesy Amethyst's most notable feature is its complex aroma profile that combines the pungent, savory cheese notes inherited from its Cheese lineage with sweeter, fruitier undertones from the Amethyst parent. This creates a distinctive scent that many users describe as a blend of aged cheese, berries, and earthy undertones. The strain has gained popularity among connoisseurs who appreciate both its aesthetic appeal and its balanced effects, though it remains less common than its parent strains in mainstream cannabis markets.

Cheesy Amethyst Strain Growing Information
Cheesy Amethyst is considered a moderate-difficulty strain to cultivate, suitable for growers with some experience. The flowering time typically ranges from 8 to 10 weeks when grown indoors. Outdoor plants in suitable climates are usually ready for harvest in late September to early October. The strain prefers a Mediterranean-like climate with plenty of sunlight and moderate humidity when grown outdoors.
Indoor growers can expect medium to high yields with proper care, while outdoor plants in optimal conditions can produce substantial harvests. The plants tend to grow to a medium height, making them manageable for indoor cultivation with some training techniques. To enhance the purple coloration, growers often expose plants to cooler nighttime temperatures (around 10-15°C or 50-59°F) during the final 2-3 weeks of flowering. The strain requires good air circulation to prevent mold due to its dense bud structure and responds well to both soil and hydroponic growing methods.
