Cheetos
Also known as: Cheetoz
Overview
Cheetos is an evenly balanced hybrid strain (50% indica/50% sativa) created through crossing the delicious Exodus Cheese X Sour Diesel IBL strains. The strain emerged during the early-to-mid 2020s, a period when playful, snack-inspired names proliferated across West Coast and Midwest menus. The name instantly signals a bright, savory-citrus flavor expectation, and that association helped the cut circulate quickly through clone-only exchanges. Named for its super delicious flavor and celebrity parentage, Cheetos is a great choice for any hybrid lover who likes a great taste with their medicine. The buds are striking, featuring long, dense, spade-shaped nugs in a rich forest green color. They are accented by furry orange hairs and tiny, bright white trichomes that add a frosty touch. Growers report that a photogenic, trichome-heavy canopy and clear bag appeal keep Cheetos competitive in display cases. The strain has a very strong fragrance of sweet fuel and candied diesel and is very easy to grow, requiring low nutrients and minimal stretch-management.

Growing Information
Cheetos has a relatively short flowering time of 7-9 weeks, with outdoor harvest typically ready by early October. Plants remain short, growing between 0 to 4 feet in height, which is ideal for tight grow areas and discreet cultivation. Indoor growers can expect yields up to 500 grams per square meter (about 17 ounces), while outdoor plants may yield around 21 ounces per plant. The strain is very easy to grow with low nutrient requirements and minimal stretch-management. It thrives in temperate climates where it gets a steady mix of sunlight and mild conditions. While known for being resilient and resistant to common pests and mold, proper care with consistent lighting, humidity control, and adequate nutrients can significantly enhance growth quality.
