Morinaga Cheese
Also known as: Morinaga Cheese Auto, Morinaga Cheese Autoflower
Morinaga Cheese Strain Overview
Morinaga Cheese is a relatively rare cannabis strain that combines genetics from the famous Cheese family with Japanese breeding techniques. The strain's name references the Morinaga Milk Industry Company, a Japanese dairy corporation, though the exact connection between the breeder and this company remains unclear. This strain emerged in the early 2010s as part of a wave of Cheese hybrids that sought to combine the distinctive aromatic profile of Cheese strains with more diverse genetic backgrounds.
Visually, Morinaga Cheese plants typically display dense, resinous buds with a mix of deep green and purple hues, often accented by vibrant orange pistils. The strain is known for its pungent aroma that combines the classic funky, cheesy notes of its Cheese lineage with subtle earthy and skunky undertones. Some phenotypes may exhibit citrus or diesel notes, adding complexity to the overall sensory profile. The buds are usually compact and covered in a generous layer of trichomes, indicating high resin production.
Morinaga Cheese is considered a balanced hybrid, though individual phenotypes may lean slightly toward indica or sativa dominance depending on cultivation conditions and genetic expression. The strain has gained a small but dedicated following among connoisseurs who appreciate unique Cheese variations, though it remains less common than mainstream Cheese hybrids like Blue Cheese or UK Cheese.

Morinaga Cheese Strain Growing Information
Morinaga Cheese is considered a moderate-difficulty strain to cultivate, requiring some experience to maximize its potential. The plants typically flower within 8-10 weeks indoors, with outdoor harvests usually ready by mid-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 in both indoor and outdoor environments, though indoor cultivation allows better control over the pungent aroma. Plants tend to remain medium in height, usually reaching 100-150 cm indoors and 150-200 cm outdoors. Morinaga Cheese prefers a Mediterranean-like climate with consistent temperatures and moderate humidity. Growers should provide good air circulation and monitor for mold, particularly in dense bud structures. The strain responds well to training techniques like topping and low-stress training to increase yield and manage height.
