"We’ve succeeded in stabilising the British Cheese and finding an indica-dominant seed that’s very productive in a short space of time. The best thing is that we’ve managed to enhance that unmistakable cheese flavour"
The seed of love
According to the Spanish rhyme, ‘uvas y queso saben a beso’, which translates as ‘grapes and cheese taste like a kiss’, and this is why this feminised marijuana seed has the name of a lovely kiss. There are many types of kisses so we have to be specific: Kiss is the marijuana plant whose kisses are intentional and prolonged, leaving you wanting more with a little tingle on your lips. It’s one of the most exciting strains in our catalogue and the one we usually recommend when you want to prepare a surprising gift for a seed lover.
The idea of creating this variety was simple. We at Kannabia Seeds have always been fans of the British Cheese, a very particular legend that’s almost disappeared from the map, and we had a genuine and extremely significant clone from the ‘90s at our disposal. We worked to refine the shortcomings that didn’t make it a commercial superstar (related to its productivity and timings), and we didn’t stop until we succeeded. It’s like the original Cheese but it yields more, is more stable and balanced, has a more marked flavour, and you’ll love it from the start. You’ve got to try it!
You’ve got to be sure before daring to kiss anyone and, for this, we crossed her with an Afghan Mazar-i-Sharif to give her that self-confidence. We have a great deal of experience interweaving the properties of very reliable Afghan seeds with other familiar strains, and the Kiss marijuana seed is a prime example of this. It’s a 70% indica-dominant seed with a fairly high THC level (21.5%), so you’ll feel love at the first kiss.
How to: Kiss
The original ’90s Cheese was well known for its cheesy flavour – the British obviously liked that point – but also because it took a lot of work to get it to produce anything decent. With the Afghan cross of Kiss, backcrossed again with Cheese to lift the dairy flavour, we’ve achieved a contemporary marijuana plant that offers the yield that today’s growers aspire to.
It’s adaptable indoors and outdoors without any problems, also resulting in quite enthusiastic productivity. Due to its spindly growth with a large robust central cola and short internodal distance, it’s perfect for Sea of Green crops as well as with hydroponic systems. It grows with powerful buds full of resin (think of the extractions), and it takes on a wonderful golden colour in the flowering phase which, combined with its aroma, will make you think of the best cheddar cheese in the world. You’ll collect 450 grams per square metre after a flowering cycle of between 55 and 60 days.
Outdoors these virtues soar. It becomes a two-metre-tall cypress-shaped bush, which can yield no less than up to 800 grams of cheese per plant. As a good skunk, it can withstand adversities, fungi and pests, but don’t go overboard with the nutrients. As well as all of this, bear in mind that it will be ready for harvest at the end of September. All these are advantages!
Flavour and effect of Kiss
Well, it’s clear that Kiss tastes like cheese, right? If you’ve already had the opportunity to try the British Cheese this strain stems from, very pleasant memories will come to mind. The earthy note makes it a vintage cheese reserved for important occasions; and the skunk factor gives it that pleasant, unmistakable Afghan flavour.
The effect is predominantly indica and not lacking in strength. This is a seed with a clear view to relaxing, extremely physical and just perfect to get your money’s worth from your settee. All the same, if you take out a cheese board and a kiss board with friends, it can lead to some very interesting debates.
Everything looking good except a small calmag deficiency in the beginning of the week due to the unbuffered coco, i added some extra calmag and things look good now
Toped them after 8 sidebranches
Repoted all to their final home
As medium i decided to be abit more sustainable:
50% earth (peat-free Terra Aquatica Organic soil light-mix)
30% coco (biproduct from cocomat production & fairtrade from sri lanka, 36h buffered in PH 6.1 calmag solution)
20% perlite
+-15g of mykorrhiza for each pot
The terraaquatica soil already contains coco but i have no clue in which %, i assume my soil is now like 50% coco, 30% earth, 20% perlite
On top of the soil i put a layer of diatomaceous earth(to prevent my archenemies the thrips to stop hatching)
and on top of that another thick(2-3cm) layer of pure perlite to hold moisture
It was alot of work, it's summer so it's ok but i'm afraid in winter i'll just buy some pre-mixed stuff
The last harvest is still drying so they're in the garden till they can move into the tent
Will inspect them for bugs before moving them indoors...i saw some bug laying eggs on them just after 20min of repoting 😬
Upgraded lights with a new Sanlight Evo 4-80 + got me some bluetooth dimmers to regulate wattage, currently running at 80%
Will increase to 100% as soon as plants grow bigger leaves
Increased nutes to EC 1.3
An early update as i'm departing to spain tomorrow
Did some LST to increase light absorbtion and expose all branches to direct light. Also removed all big leaves to strenghten lower side branches.
Plants look much darker now after increasing nutes
I was away all week and it seems they got a bit dry but not much harm taken
I'll give them another week of veg
Increased nutes
Lights are running at 75% now
Did some more LST and defoiled here and there to remove shades from branches, lolipopped - nothing beneath the top canopy has any sidebranch now - removed everything
Plants grew quite stocked due to high wattage(425w) but they are very strong with thick branches...All stems are thick like a clipper lighter and probably have evolved a good mass of roots..
now with start of flower and incoming stretch i'll even increase lights to 100%(500w) to max photosythese in this phase till a bunch of flowers evolve, then i'll steadily turn down to 65% (325w) within 3 weeks - till harvest
Experimenting with light duration: Set lights to 13h and stretch started as planned so why not always use this extra hour for more photosynthesis?
Probably also depends on strains, some may not start flowering as easy as these 4 here
Also added 1ml of extra PK at the beginning of the week as i heard Prof.Bugbee talking about an abundance of P while initiating flower being very supportive...didn't hurt so far...
Can't wait for more stretch and more flowers next week!
Flowers are coming and stretch is in full effect
Will defoil all lower leaves by the end of next week as RH is getting high again
Lights are still at 100% they thrive under the 500w so far, soon i'll reduce it tho, probably by week 4 of flower
It's getting hot the last days...peaks at 33° but most of the day is +-30°
Defoiled all bottom leaves(like 15% of total foliage) and reduced lights to 80% (400w)
Next defoil is scheduled in 2 weeks
(I only defoil to reduce transpiration for lower RH)

Flowers are coming nicely, some plants you can see grow fatter from morning to evening 😊
Moved the lights higher to avoid bleaching
Added some more PK
More defoil in 2 weeks
Defoiled some more to increase airflow, next week some last major defoiliation to prevent mold as RH is getting high due to bad weather
Fighting it with a dehumidifier
Set lights to 75% (375w)
Last week of extra PK, next week only bloom fert
omg what's up with these plants, they have incredible buds, thick, juicy, full of resin 😍
right now it looks like they'll be the top yielders in this grow
defoiled most bottom leaves to increase airflow
i drilled a hole in my housewall for an air exhaust + installed the dehumidifier to blow directly into the tent so now humidity is at a save range of 50-65%, hopefully no more mold problems now
just ordered a new growcontrol-pro with WiFi option and CO² adapter, can't wait to get my fingers on it 😍
sadly i found mold in a few buds...seems like i drilled my exhaust hole 1 week too late, all buds that were already big when it rained for 2 weeks had mold in them..just threw away like 30g(dry)
fighting the high temperature and high humidity due to bad weather over here, trying to keep RH under 60% but it's hard as temperature easily goes over 30°C with my current dehumidifier...
buds evolve greatly -> fat, sticky and dense
just 1 more week till planned harvest! can't wait!
only clean fruits from now on!
Last week...just few more days till harvest..
Buds are almost done, some are looking good already but some still need some days...will chop next friday and trim the weekend after that
Only water + cleanfruits the last 14 days...they had enough nutes all grow
Had to remove few buds because of mold...but not too much...seems like the 3 weeks of rainy weather was too much in the mid-flower...sadly the buds that were already fat back then had to be removed...
what a great strain! great yield and incredible scent! it grew very large buds, due to bad weather and high RH i sadly lost a few of the biggest buds, but still got an awesome yield
