Also known as: Urban Cheese Auto, Cheese Urban
Urban Cheese Strain Overview
Urban Cheese is a modern indica-dominant hybrid strain that represents a contemporary adaptation of the classic Cheese lineage. The strain was developed by breeders seeking to create a more compact, fast-flowering version suitable for urban cultivation while preserving the distinctive aromatic profile of traditional Cheese varieties. Its exact genetic origins are somewhat obscure in the cannabis community, but it is generally understood to be a phenotype selection from Cheese genetics, possibly with some Northern Lights or Skunk influences to enhance its growth characteristics and resin production.
The strain is characterized by dense, compact buds with a distinctive appearance featuring dark green foliage often accented by purple hues when exposed to cooler temperatures during flowering. The buds are typically covered in a generous coating of trichomes, giving them a frosty appearance. Urban Cheese plants maintain a relatively short stature compared to many indica varieties, making them particularly suitable for indoor cultivation or discreet outdoor grows where space is limited.
Notable features include its pronounced aroma that combines the classic funky, cheesy scent with earthy undertones and subtle sweet notes. The flavor profile is similarly complex, with the initial cheese-like taste giving way to earthy and sometimes slightly fruity notes on the exhale. Urban Cheese has gained popularity among both recreational users and medical cannabis patients for its balanced effects and manageable growth characteristics.

Urban Cheese Strain Growing Information
Urban Cheese is considered a moderately easy strain to cultivate, suitable for growers with some experience. The plants have a relatively short flowering time of approximately 8-9 weeks when grown indoors. Outdoor plants are typically ready for harvest by late September to early October in the Northern Hemisphere. The strain adapts well to both indoor and outdoor cultivation, though it thrives particularly well in controlled indoor environments where its compact size can be maximized.
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 plants maintain a short to medium height, usually reaching 100-150 cm indoors and slightly taller outdoors. Urban Cheese responds well to training techniques such as topping and low-stress training (LST) to increase yield. The plants have moderate nutrient requirements and are somewhat resistant to common molds and pests, though good air circulation is recommended to prevent bud rot in dense colas. The strain's relatively low odor during vegetative growth makes it somewhat more discreet than many Cheese varieties, though flowering plants develop the characteristic strong aroma.
