Frencheese
Also known as: French Cheese
Frencheese Strain Overview
Frencheese is a hybrid cannabis strain that emerged in the early 2000s, primarily developed by the breeder Paradise Seeds. It is a cross between the classic Cheese strain, known for its pungent aroma, and a potent Afghani indica. The strain was bred to combine the distinctive sensory profile of Cheese with the robust growth characteristics and relaxing effects of Afghani genetics. Frencheese gained popularity in European markets and among home growers for its manageable cultivation and strong, flavorful output.
The plant typically exhibits a bushy, indica-dominant structure with dense, resinous buds. The flowers are often medium to large in size, displaying a vibrant green color with occasional purple hues, especially in cooler climates, and are covered in a thick layer of trichomes. The aroma is notably pungent and complex, dominated by a sharp, cheesy scent reminiscent of its parent, complemented by earthy, skunky undertones and subtle sweet or fruity notes. The flavor profile mirrors the aroma, delivering a bold, savory taste with hints of spice and a smooth, creamy finish on exhale.
Frencheese is recognized for its balanced effects, offering an initial cerebral uplift followed by a deep physical relaxation. It is considered a moderately potent strain suitable for evening use. While not as widely documented as some mainstream varieties, it maintains a niche following among enthusiasts who appreciate its unique sensory characteristics and reliable performance. Its genetics have also been used in breeding projects to impart its distinctive terpene profile to other strains.

Frencheese Strain Growing Information
Frencheese is considered a strain of moderate difficulty to cultivate, suitable for growers with some experience. It has a flowering time of approximately 8 to 9 weeks when grown indoors. Outdoor plants are typically ready for harvest in late September to early October in the Northern Hemisphere. The plant tends to stay relatively short to medium in height, often between 100 to 150 cm, making it manageable for indoor spaces. It prefers a warm, Mediterranean-like climate if grown outdoors and benefits from techniques like topping or low-stress training to improve light penetration and yield. Expected yields are moderate to high, with indoor growers reporting around 400 to 500 grams per square meter under optimal conditions. The strain is resistant to common molds and pests, but good airflow is recommended due to its dense bud structure. It can be grown successfully in both soil and hydroponic systems.
