Green Cheese
Green Cheese
Overview
Green Cheese is a hybrid cannabis strain that represents a cross between the famous UK Cheese strain and Green Crack. This strain inherits the pungent, cheese-like aroma characteristic of its parent strain Cheese, which originated as a phenotype of Skunk #1 discovered in the United Kingdom in the late 1980s. The strain combines earthy cheese and herbaceous smells with the sweet and citrus notes from its Green Crack lineage, creating a complex aromatic profile. Green Cheese is known for its balanced effects that blend both uplifting and calming elements, making it versatile for different types of users.
Visually, Green Cheese typically showcases medium to large buds with light to medium green colors and may display small piecey forest green nugs. The buds are dense and sticky, often coated with a layer of trichomes that give the strain a frosty appearance. Orange or amber pistils stand out against the dense green structure. The strain's moderate THC levels combined with its unique terpene profile contribute to its balanced sensory experience and therapeutic potential.
