Parmesan
Also known as: Cheese
Parmesan Strain Overview
Parmesan is an indica-dominant hybrid cannabis strain developed by Victory Seeds through careful breeding techniques combining robust genetics with unique sensory profiles. The strain derives its name from its distinctive cheese-like aroma and flavor that resembles authentic Parmigiano Reggiano, combined with earthy, musky undertones. This feminized variety was created as a cross between Skunk and Kush genetics imported from the United Kingdom, resulting in a 70% indica and 30% sativa composition.
The development of Parmesan began over a decade ago when Victory Seeds sought to create a strain that balanced the robust characteristics of indica heritage with exceptional flavor profiles. The breeding program prioritized stability, potency, and ease of cultivation, utilizing advanced genetic techniques to refine the strain's characteristics. Parmesan plants exhibit dense, compact structure typical of indica genetics, producing heavy, resinous buds covered in thick layers of trichomes that give them a frosty appearance. The coloration features deep greens with purple hues and bright orange pistils, making it visually striking to both cultivators and consumers.
This strain has gained recognition for its forgiving nature toward novice growers, excellent adaptation to various climatic conditions, and consistent chemical composition. The robust genetics allow for successful cultivation both indoors and outdoors, with the resilient plants showing good tolerance to stress and environmental fluctuations.
