Mamut Cheese
Also known as: Mammoth Cheese
Mamut Cheese Strain Overview
Mamut Cheese is an indica-dominant hybrid cannabis strain developed by Spanish breeders that combines the genetics of Big Bud and Cheese strains. The strain's name reflects its two primary characteristics: 'Mamut' (Spanish for mammoth) refers to its substantial bud production, while 'Cheese' denotes its distinctive aromatic profile. First developed in the early 2000s, Mamut Cheese gained popularity in European cannabis circles before spreading to international markets, particularly valued by growers seeking high yields and consumers appreciating its potent effects.
The strain produces dense, resinous buds with a classic indica structure, featuring dark green foliage often accented with purple hues and a thick coating of trichomes. The aroma is distinctly cheesy and pungent, with earthy undertones and subtle hints of skunk, while the flavor profile delivers a complex combination of savory cheese notes complemented by sweet and spicy accents. Mamut Cheese is known for its robust growth characteristics and resilience, making it suitable for various cultivation environments.
Notable features include its relatively short flowering period for an indica-dominant strain and its ability to produce exceptionally large colas under optimal conditions. The strain's effects are typically described as deeply relaxing and physically sedating, with a cerebral component that provides initial euphoria before transitioning to full-body relaxation. Due to its potency and distinctive aroma, Mamut Cheese has maintained a dedicated following among indica enthusiasts despite not achieving mainstream commercial popularity.

Mamut Cheese Strain Growing Information
Mamut Cheese is considered a moderate-difficulty strain suitable for intermediate growers. The flowering time is approximately 8-9 weeks indoors, with outdoor harvest typically occurring in late September to early October in northern hemisphere climates. The strain produces high yields, particularly when grown indoors with proper training techniques, with indoor yields averaging 450-550 grams per square meter and outdoor plants producing 600-800 grams per plant.
Preferred growing conditions include both indoor and outdoor environments, though indoor cultivation allows better control over the strong aroma. Plants typically reach medium to tall height (indoor: 100-150cm; outdoor: 150-200cm) and benefit from techniques like topping, low-stress training (LST), and Screen of Green (SCROG) to maximize light penetration and bud development. Special considerations include adequate ventilation due to the pungent aroma during flowering, regular pruning to improve airflow, and careful nutrient management as the plants can be sensitive to overfeeding during the vegetative stage.
