Purple Cheddar Strain Overview
Purple Cheddar is a hybrid cannabis strain that combines the genetics of two popular strains: Purple Kush and UK Cheese. This strain emerged in the early 2010s as breeders sought to create a variety that would blend the relaxing, sedative qualities of Purple Kush with the distinctive aroma and balanced effects of UK Cheese. The result is a strain that has gained popularity among both recreational and medicinal users for its unique combination of characteristics.
The strain typically displays dense, resinous buds that exhibit a striking visual appearance. As the name suggests, Purple Cheddar often develops deep purple hues in its foliage and calyxes, particularly when exposed to cooler temperatures during the flowering phase. The buds are usually covered in a generous layer of trichomes, giving them a frosty appearance. The coloration is complemented by vibrant orange pistils that weave through the dense flower structure.
Purple Cheddar is noted for its complex aromatic profile that combines fruity, cheesy, and earthy notes. The strain's effects are generally described as balanced, providing both cerebral stimulation and physical relaxation. While not as widely documented as some mainstream strains, Purple Cheddar has developed a dedicated following among cannabis enthusiasts who appreciate its unique genetic heritage and versatile effects.

Purple Cheddar Strain Growing Information
Purple Cheddar is considered a moderately difficult strain to cultivate, making it better suited for growers with some experience. The plants typically flower in 8-10 weeks indoors, with outdoor harvests occurring in mid to late October in the Northern Hemisphere. Indoor yields are average to above average, producing approximately 400-500 grams per square meter under optimal conditions. Outdoor plants can yield 500-600 grams per plant in suitable climates.
The strain prefers a controlled indoor environment but can also be grown outdoors in Mediterranean or similar climates. Plants tend to remain medium in height, usually reaching 100-150 cm indoors and potentially taller outdoors. Special considerations include maintaining stable temperatures and humidity levels, as the strain can be susceptible to mold if conditions are too humid. The purple coloration is more pronounced when nighttime temperatures drop by 10-15°F during the flowering phase. Regular pruning is recommended to improve airflow and light penetration to lower bud sites.
