Also known as: Exodus Cheese, UK Cheese, Cheese
Exodus Strain Overview
Exodus, commonly known as Exodus Cheese or UK Cheese, is a legendary cannabis strain with deep roots in British cannabis culture. The strain originated in the late 1980s or early 1990s when a cutting of a Skunk #1 phenotype was allegedly taken from a cannabis plant grown in the Exodus Collective, a community in Luton, England. This particular phenotype exhibited a distinctive cheesy aroma that became its defining characteristic. The original Exodus cutting was carefully preserved and cloned by enthusiasts, leading to its widespread popularity throughout the UK and eventually internationally.
The strain is characterized by its pungent, unmistakable aroma that combines sharp cheese notes with earthy, skunky undertones and hints of diesel. Visually, Exodus typically displays dense, chunky buds with vibrant green coloration and occasional purple hues, covered in a generous layer of trichomes. The leaves are often dark green with some purple pigmentation in cooler temperatures. The strain's unique terpene profile creates an olfactory experience that is immediately recognizable to cannabis connoisseurs.
Exodus gained notoriety not only for its distinctive aroma but also for its balanced effects and cultural significance in the UK cannabis scene. It became a staple in British grow operations and coffeeshops, maintaining popularity for decades despite the emergence of newer strains. The strain's genetics have been used to create numerous Cheese hybrids, cementing its legacy in cannabis breeding history. Its cultural impact extends beyond its effects, representing a specific era and community in cannabis history.

Exodus Strain Growing Information
Exodus is considered a moderately difficult strain to cultivate, requiring some experience. The flowering time is approximately 8-9 weeks indoors, with outdoor harvest typically occurring in late September to early October. The plant tends to be medium in height, reaching 100-150 cm indoors and potentially taller outdoors. It prefers a temperate climate when grown outside. Yield is moderate to high, producing dense, resinous buds. The strain responds well to both soil and hydroponic setups. Growers should provide good air circulation as the dense buds can be prone to mold in humid conditions. Exodus is suitable for both indoor and outdoor cultivation, though indoor growing allows better control over environmental factors. The plant benefits from training techniques like topping and LST to maximize yield and manage height.
