Cheese is no doubt unique. Its cheesy and musky old socks aroma is still winning the hearts of dank weed lovers every day. This kind of scent may seem off-putting to non-users, veteran tokers, though, tend to crave for it. Paired with its soothing touch, countless cannabis fans have called it their go-to after work strain since the late 80s.From the legendary Skunk #1, the original cheese sprung. It was a phenotype so unlike its predecessor. It boasted of a cheesy fragrance (hence the name) and produced more massive yields of large buds. To stabilize such winning traits, the first variant was crossed with Afghani. This union introduced the Cheese that pot growers and enjoyers know today.Leading tokers into a state of calm and euphoria, the ganja shares medical benefits too. It became a big name in dispensaries due to its high demand in the medical cannabis sphere. Easing both the mind and body, its capacity assures fast results that last long.Growing Cheese from Feminized SeedsCheese proudly showcases its hybrid genome in appearance and structure. Standing taller than most Indica strains, it can reach up to 250 cm in an optimal outdoor setting. In some cases, the leaves it grows are generic Sativa–long and slender instead of short and fan-like.A plant displaying both Indica and Sativa genetics can have significant advantages. In Cheese's case, its long yet sturdy branches can hold its large colas high with no issues. That means growers won't need to install any support as it flowers abundantly. Because it's quite lengthy, naturally, its caps have more space for more nugs. All these spells an easy and rewarding growing adventure.Best grown in a controlled setting, the pot thrives best in soil medium coupled with ScrOG setup. While flowering for 8 to 9 weeks, the grow room must have a temperature of around 18 to 26°C and humidity levels of 40-50%. If raised in a copybook environment, growers can harvest up to 550 grams of pungent buds per square meter.Of course, this plant would not trade the real sun over an artificial source of light. Cheese would prosper the most in places with warm, Mediterranean-like conditions. Its long graceful limbs would dance with the cool breeze as its foliage revels in as much sunlight as it can. Come harvest-time, cultivators can dry and cure up to 600 grams of dank bud per plant. In the northern hemisphere, that much yield is also possible during summer. To make sure no frost or chilly weather can harm the crops, reap no later than mid-October.Fragrance and FlavorCheese takes getting used to. Its fragrance is not typical and can be quite overpowering. As the plant flowers, its dank musk becomes even more pungent. Once lit, though, its fume will reveal some pleasant earthiness with a bit of sweet herb.

The ganja is profoundly sedating. However, its sleeping spell comes into force until after around 5 hours. Needless to say, users must avoid the joint before heading to work or on the way to an active night out.Due to its potency and heaviness, Cheese may cause some undesirable side effects.

Overconsumption while dehydrated may result in cottonmouth and/or dry, bloodshot eyes.
