Kush Fromage
Also known as: Cheese Kush, Fromage Kush
Kush Fromage Strain Overview
Kush Fromage is a hybrid cannabis strain that represents a distinctive fusion of classic Kush genetics with the unique aromatic profile of Cheese strains. This strain emerged in the early 2010s as breeders sought to combine the robust structure and relaxing effects of Kush varieties with the pungent, savory characteristics that made Cheese strains popular in European cannabis culture. The exact origins remain somewhat obscure, with multiple breeders claiming development, but it is generally accepted as a cross between an Afghani Kush variety and a Cheese phenotype, likely UK Cheese or Exodus Cheese.
The strain exhibits characteristics of both its parent lineages, typically displaying dense, resinous buds with a structure leaning toward indica dominance. The coloration ranges from deep forest green to sometimes purple hues, with bright orange pistils weaving through the compact flower structure. A thick coating of trichomes gives the buds a frosty appearance that hints at its potency. The most notable feature of Kush Fromage is its complex aroma profile that combines earthy, skunky Kush notes with the distinctive sharp, fermented cheese scent that gives the strain its name.
Kush Fromage has gained a following among connoisseurs who appreciate its balanced effects and unique sensory experience. While not as widely available as some mainstream strains, it maintains a dedicated following in certain cannabis communities, particularly in Europe where Cheese genetics have strong cultural roots. The strain represents an interesting case study in how breeders combine geographically distinct cannabis traditions—the mountainous Kush varieties from Central Asia with the British-developed Cheese phenotypes.

Kush Fromage Strain Growing Information
Kush Fromage is considered a moderate difficulty strain to cultivate, suitable for growers with some experience. The plants typically flower in 8-10 weeks indoors, with outdoor harvests occurring in late September to early October in northern hemisphere climates. Yields are moderate to high, with indoor growers reporting 400-500 grams per square meter under optimal conditions. The strain prefers a controlled indoor environment but can be grown outdoors in Mediterranean or similar climates with consistent temperatures. Plants tend to stay relatively compact, reaching 100-150 cm indoors and up to 200 cm outdoors. Special considerations include odor control due to the strong, pungent aroma during flowering, and attention to humidity levels to prevent mold in the dense buds. The strain responds well to training techniques like topping and LST (low-stress training) to maximize yields.
