Port Wine Cheese
Also known as: Port Wine & Cheese
Port Wine Cheese Strain Overview
Port Wine Cheese is a relatively rare indica-dominant hybrid cannabis strain that combines the genetics of Port Wine and Cheese strains. While its exact origins are somewhat obscure in cannabis breeding history, it appears to have emerged from the underground breeding scene in the early 2010s, likely as an experimental cross between two popular European strains. The strain represents a deliberate attempt to blend the distinctive aromatic profiles of its parent strains into a unique sensory experience.
The strain's appearance is characterized by dense, chunky buds that display a deep forest green coloration with occasional purple hues, particularly when exposed to cooler temperatures during cultivation. The flowers are typically coated in a generous layer of frosty trichomes and feature vibrant orange pistils that contrast sharply against the darker foliage. The buds have a compact structure typical of indica varieties, with tight calyx formations that contribute to their substantial density.
Port Wine Cheese is most notable for its complex aromatic profile that combines the fruity, wine-like notes of its Port Wine parent with the pungent, savory cheese characteristics inherited from the Cheese lineage. This creates a distinctive bouquet that transitions from sweet berry and fermented grape notes to earthy, funky cheese undertones upon closer inspection. The strain's effects are predominantly sedative and relaxing, making it popular among evening users seeking relief from daily stresses.

Port Wine Cheese Strain Growing Information
Port Wine Cheese is considered a moderate-difficulty strain to cultivate, suitable for growers with some experience. The plants have a flowering time of approximately 8-9 weeks indoors and are ready for outdoor harvest in late September to early October in northern hemisphere climates. Indoor yields typically range from 400-500 grams per square meter, while outdoor plants can produce 500-600 grams per plant under optimal conditions.
The strain adapts well to both indoor and outdoor cultivation but thrives in controlled indoor environments where temperature and humidity can be carefully managed. Plants tend to remain relatively compact, reaching heights of 100-150 cm indoors and 150-200 cm outdoors. Special considerations include maintaining proper air circulation to prevent mold due to the dense bud structure and implementing temperature fluctuations during late flowering to enhance purple coloration. The plants respond well to low-stress training techniques and benefit from regular pruning to improve light penetration to lower bud sites.
