Sweet Cheeks
Sweet Cheeks Strain Overview
Sweet Cheeks is a hybrid cannabis strain that emerged in the early 2010s from the Pacific Northwest region of the United States. The strain was developed by crossing two popular West Coast varieties: Cherry Pie and Blue Dream. Breeders sought to combine Cherry Pie's indica-dominant relaxing qualities with Blue Dream's sativa-leaning cerebral effects, resulting in a balanced hybrid that has gained popularity in both medical and recreational markets. The strain's name references its distinctive sweet flavor profile and the rounded, plump appearance of its buds.
Sweet Cheeks plants typically produce medium-sized, dense buds with a conical structure. The flowers exhibit a vibrant color palette ranging from deep forest green to purple hues, often accented by bright orange pistils and a generous coating of milky-white trichomes. The strain's visual appeal is enhanced by its resinous texture and compact bud structure. Growers note that Sweet Cheeks plants have moderate branching with broad leaves characteristic of its indica heritage, though they maintain some sativa-like stretching during flowering.
Notable features of Sweet Cheeks include its complex aromatic profile and consistent effects. The strain has gained recognition for its reliable performance and user-friendly cultivation characteristics. While not as widely documented as some mainstream commercial strains, Sweet Cheeks has developed a dedicated following among connoisseurs who appreciate its balanced effects and distinctive flavor. The strain represents a successful example of modern hybrid breeding techniques that combine desirable traits from multiple genetic lineages.

Sweet Cheeks Strain Growing Information
Sweet Cheeks is considered a moderate-difficulty strain suitable for growers with some experience. The plants typically flower in 8-10 weeks indoors, with outdoor harvests occurring in mid to late 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 it prefers a Mediterranean-like climate with consistent temperatures. Plants reach a medium height of 120-160 cm indoors and can grow taller outdoors if given space. Special considerations include maintaining stable humidity levels during flowering to prevent mold, as the dense buds are susceptible to moisture retention. The plants respond well to training techniques like topping and low-stress training to maximize yield. Nutrient requirements are moderate, with sensitivity to nitrogen overload during flowering.
