Gloucester Cheese Strain Overview
Gloucester Cheese is a cannabis strain that emerged from the United Kingdom's cannabis breeding scene, specifically drawing inspiration from the classic Cheese lineage that became popular in the UK during the 1990s. While not as widely documented as its progenitor UK Cheese, Gloucester Cheese represents a regional variation that maintains the distinctive aromatic profile characteristic of Cheese strains. The strain's name references Gloucester, a city in South West England, suggesting either its geographic origin or a tribute to the region's cheese-making heritage.
The strain typically produces medium-sized plants with dense, resinous buds that exhibit a pale green coloration often accented with purple hues when exposed to cooler temperatures during cultivation. The flowers are known for their heavy trichome coverage, giving them a frosty appearance. Gloucester Cheese inherits the pungent aroma that defines Cheese varieties, characterized by a strong, funky cheese scent with underlying earthy and skunky notes. Some phenotypes may also display subtle fruity or diesel undertones.
As a predominantly indica strain, Gloucester Cheese is valued for its potent effects that lean toward physical relaxation while maintaining some cerebral engagement. The strain has gained popularity among enthusiasts seeking the classic Cheese experience with reliable growth characteristics. While not as commercially widespread as some other Cheese variants, it maintains a dedicated following particularly in European cannabis circles where Cheese genetics remain popular.

Gloucester Cheese Strain Growing Information
Gloucester Cheese is considered a moderate-difficulty strain to cultivate, suitable for growers with some experience. The plants typically flower in 8-9 weeks indoors, with outdoor harvests ready by late September to early October in northern hemisphere climates. Indoor yields average 400-500 grams per square meter, while outdoor plants can produce 500-600 grams per plant under optimal conditions. The strain performs well both indoors and outdoors, preferring a Mediterranean-like climate with consistent temperatures. Plants tend to remain medium in height, usually reaching 100-150cm indoors and 150-200cm outdoors. Special considerations include maintaining good air circulation to prevent mold due to the dense bud structure, and some phenotypes may benefit from low-stress training techniques to improve light penetration. The strain's strong odor during flowering requires adequate odor control measures for discreet cultivation.
