Cheese Strains: Cannabis with Cheese Lineage

Where Do Cheese Cannabis Seeds Come From?

The Cheese Family is an offshoot of the larger Skunk family, whose origins are a mix of Afghani, Mexican, and Columbian landraces. Skunk genetics are a huge and diverse group with a wide range of effects. They were originally bred in America but were brought to Amsterdam to escape the War on Drugs by Sam the Skunkman AKA Dave Watson. They found a home with Neville Schoenmakers and his friends at the Seed Bank in Amsterdam where Skunk 1 was likely first produced. The Exodus cut of Cheese is a direct offshoot of Skunk 1, raised in a town south of London called Luton in the eighties or nineties. It existed as a clones-only strain for a while before becoming available as seeds again recently. Its children include Super Cheese and Chocolate Fondue. That Exodus cut was then crossed with its grandparent, Afghani, by Big Buddha Seeds to increase the trichome production of the plants, producing the Dinafem cut of Cheese which is the most common variety. Children of that original Cheese include Lemon Cake and Strawberry Cheesecake. Many of the Cheese family, including standout star Blue Cheese, were originally born and raised in the UK where Cheese strains have been popular for thirty years. Blue Exodus Cheese is a combination of Blue Headband and that original Exodus Cheese. Badazz Cheese is the cross of Baddazz OG Kush and Big Buddha Cheese. Banana Berry Cheese is a cross between Strawberry Banana and Cheese. Weed Seeds has over six hundred different strains of cannabis seeds to suit your every growing need. Read all about them today!

Why Buy Cheese Seeds?

Cheese family seeds grow a wide variety of easy to cultivate and delicious to smoke crops. They have a moderate amount of THC, between ten and twenty percent on average, which makes them suitable for both everyday users and occasional recreational smokers who have a lower THC tolerance but like the strong stuff. Their varied effects make them ideal for folks who suffer from both mental and physical illnesses, and many Cheese strains are beloved by cancer sufferers for everything from easing pain and nausea to lightening their mood. Cheese strains have a distinct and acrid pong that set them apart from other woodier or citrus-based weeds, though their flavors blend fruit and cheese effortlessly in a dozen different ways. Kind Seed Co carries nearly twenty different Cheese strains, each one with a different strength and suited for a different purpose.

Growing Cheese Cannabis Plants

Cheese plants like direct light and warmth, with temperatures between seventy and eighty degrees. They appreciate a relative humidity range that moves down from sixty-five percent when they are seedlings to a percentage in the mid-thirties by harvest time. Remember that these are guidelines and not absolute rules. The temperatures and humidity will make sure your plants won’t die, but if they seem to thrive in more humid or hotter conditions, give them what they want. Most Cheese plants originate in the UK, where they can actually thrive quite well in the cooler and wetter summer temperatures of England. Many of this family are naturally resistant to mold as a result, and Blue Cheese can even show its Blueberry roots when exposed to chilly autumn evenings outdoors by turning shades of purple. Banana Berry Cheese is hardy and can grow in all kinds of environments including Mediterranean, sunny Continental, and temperate conditions outdoors. Original Cheese plants get quite tall, with some as high as seven feet. There are now three condensed upon phenotypes of Cheese including two shorter indica varieties and this original tall girl. Badazz Cheese plants are on the small side for this family, producing two to three foot tall bushy little ladies that are easy to grow. Autoflowering Blue Cheese plants are small like Badazz Cheese, but also tough and resistant thanks to their ruderalis genes. These plants don’t require a lighting switch to begin flowering and thrive on a little bit of neglect. For information on the specific strain you’re growing, check out KSCO’s well-researched strain pages.

Growing Flowers From Cheese Seeds Indoors

Cheese plants have an incredible versatility that makes some of them thrive indoors and some do better outdoors. Cheese strains are popular indoor breeds thanks to their hardy growth, strong aromas, and positive response to low stress techniques. Banana Berry Cheese loves to grow in hydroponic setups with a pH balance of around five point eight. Anything lower than five point five is too acidic, so keep an eye out and add extra pH neutral water if it starts to get too close. It’s easy to use the Screen of Green technique on Blue Exodus Cheese, which uses a mesh screen to help bud sites make the most of full and intense light while helping branches of plants to grow horizontally beneath the mesh. Badazz Cheese likes to be grown en masse in a Sea of Green, where many little seedlings are crammed together in a horizontal growing array on a table. These plants are encouraged to rely on one another for support before being switched to flowering after only around four weeks of vegetation. With the right balance of nutrients, these plants will then grow bud sites around the same size as their little plants. This is a very popular technique with large scale growers looking to produce a uniform crop in a short period of time. Both Screen and Sea of Green techniques are appropriate when growing Blue Cheese and CBD Cheese, which thrive indoors with low-stress techniques and intense light. WS US has extensive coverage of these and many other techniques on our blog if you’d like more information.

Growing Cannabis Flower Outdoors From Cheese Seed

Kind Seed Co always wants to make sure you have the wisest advice for your area. Cheese strains are from the UK, and many of them are accustomed to the cooler temperature of English summers. Many Cheese strains, especially autoflowering varieties, will thrive outdoors in organic soil where they can get to their tallest and soak up the sun. Adding a healthy dose of coco coir to the soil can help autoflowering plants absorb nutrients faster without resulting in burn. Taller varieties in this family, like original and Blue Cheese, will only get to the larger sides of their yields when grown in deep pots of this kind of soil, where they can put down thick taproots that encourage robust growth. Blue Exodus Cheese can do its most abundant work when left in a greenhouse and protected from rainstorms. These plants can get rather tall and may need to be trellised for support. Topping your photoperiod plants by cutting off their topmost growth up to the first node can help them get bushier. Badazz Cheese will also thrive when it’s pruned regularly to keep airflow up in its thick leaves. CBD Cheese plants only get between two and a half and five feet tall depending on the growing environment they’re in, and they do their best work indoors, but non-CBD varieties will get huge like the others. While many of these plants are very resistant to molds, and will turn beautiful colors with chilly nights, they still need to be protected from frost and pests. Harvest them by mid-October at the latest.

Typical Aroma Of Cheese Cannabis Buds

Cheese plants have a very distinct and strong, polarizing aroma. Many people with extensive experience with weed can identify someone carrying these strains simply by passing them on the street. The fermented, earthy, microbial, and pungent smell of Cheese strains begins early on in their flowering periods, getting more complex as they age and are cured. Every single one has a cheesy smell, but which one they smell like depends entirely on their genetic background. Badazz Cheese, for example, has a skunky, woody, earthy, and piney cheese scent thanks to its Kush genetics. It smells a little more like an exotic kombucha mix than a straight-up cheese. Banana Berry Cheese smells like spruce trees, fuel, and grapefruit rind according to some, but other people seem to think it’s a mix of strawberries, bananas, butter, and mozzarella. This is likely due to the difference in terpenes between batches. The scent of Blue Cheese is pungent yet sweet, with an earthy quality reminiscent of many French soft cheeses that are cut with fruit. It’s high in the terpenes b-caryophyllene, a-pinene, and a-myrcene. The scents of Blue Exodus Cheese are sour, pungent, and earthy with hints of skunk and fermented cheese punctuated by notes of red currants. It’s high in the terpene a-myrcene. The aroma of CBD Cheese is fuel-like, with notes of tea flowers like lavender and bergamot, undercut with a spicy funk not unlike a hunk of limburger. It’s high in caryophyllene, limonene, and linalool. You can order twenty different Cheese strains today and smell them all in five to fourteen days, thanks to KSCO.

Harvesting Time When Growing Cheese Strains

Cheese strains like to take their time when flowering, even the autoflowering versions. Most take between eight and ten weeks for their flowers to mature, though other prominent strains will take closer to three months. When growing Cheese strains, or any other strains for that matter, what’s more important than the measured time is the actual state of the plants themselves. Most growers swear by watching the trichomes of their plants to know when to harvest. You’ll want to start flushing your plant just as the trichomes are turning from clear to white. This way, by the time the flush is done most of your trichomes will have turned white. Flushing is a two-week process that prepares your crop for harvest by diluting any leftover nutrients in the tissues of your plants. Trichomes are the site of THC production, and they turn white when they are at their most potent. If you are looking for a crop that is less psychoactive and more mellow, wait until a larger portion of your trichomes turn gold. This is a sign that THCA has degraded into CBN, or cannabinol, which is less psychoactive than THC and much more mellow. Before beginning your harvest, consider whether you’d like to wet or dry trim your crop. Dry trimming dries your crops directly on the plant after they’re cut, while wet trimming happens at the bud level while harvesting happens. Which you choose will depend on the state of your crop, so be sure to read all about both methods on Kind Seed Co’s amazing blog. We’ve got your back.

What Yield Can You Get From Cheese Plants

As might be expected from a family of plants as diverse as the Cheese family, yields of individual strains can vary greatly according to their genetics and how they’re treated. Badazz Cheese plants will grow around a pound of ganja per square meter when grown indoors. These hardly little indica plants thrive best outdoors though, where they can grow between six and seven hundred grams per plant. Banana Berry Cheese will grow between four and five hundred grams of flowers indoors per square meter, with a reduced outdoor yield of three to four hundred grams per plant. Autoflowering Blue Cheese plants do very well indoors, where they can grow almost a pound of flowers per square meter when they’re supported with some low stress techniques. Autoflowering Blue Cheese will produce between three and four hundred grams of weed per square meter indoors, or four to five ounces per plant when grown outdoors. Blue Exodus can grow between three hundred and fifty to a pound per meter squared indoors. Where it really shines is outdoors, where it doubles its yield to between seven and eight hundred grams per plant. CBD Cheese produces three hundred and fifty to four hundred and fifty grams of pot per meter squared when grown indoors, or one to two hundred grams per plant outdoors. Feeding your plants properly, with nitrogen while they vegetate and phosphorus and potassium when flowering, will help to increase their yields, as will allowing taller plants ample time to vegetate. When you buy your seeds from KSCO, we help you grow a massive yield every time.

Are Cheese Buds High in THC?

While they have considerably less THC than the most potent knockout hybrids of the modern era, Cheese family strains still contain enough psychoactive cannabinoids to make them popular with 710 producers thanks to their unique flavors and potent highs. Seventeen to nineteen percent THC and less than one percent CBD is produced in the indica-dominant flowers of Badazz Cheese. These ganja flowers are quite high in resin and are beloved of concentrate producers for their mix of a-myrcene, caryophyllene, and ocimene. Banana Berry Cheese produces between twelve and twenty percent THC with less than one percent CBD. Its buds are quite high in resin. Our most potent Cheese strains, Girl Scout Cheese and Cheese Diesel, each contain up to twenty-two percent THC. Photoperiod Blue Cheese has around twenty percent THC, while Autoflowering Blue Cheese can produce up to seventeen percent THC. Blue Exodus Cheese has eighteen percent THC and is a balanced hybrid. CBD Cheese has ten percent of both THC and CBD in it, giving it the lowest THC contents of the group but possibly the most therapeutic value due to its high CBD content. It’s possible that THC production can be increased in the final stages of growing by switching to all blue LED lights during the flushing stage of harvesting. There is some evidence that this light switch can increase THC production by up to thirty percent. If you’re looking for those knockout hybrids mentioned earlier with upwards of thirty percent THC, check out our other six hundred strains today right here at Weed Seeds dot com.

Typical Effects of Smoking Cheese

Cheese strains tend to follow a similar arc of being euphoric, inspiring, and sociable at first before getting deeply relaxing and sleep-inducing after a few hours. Many of these strains are used in the afternoon or evening for everything from mood disorders to soothing cancer and chemotherapy side effects. Badazz Cheese is used for migraines, nausea, muscle spasms, stomach aches, and IBS due to its anti-inflammatory properties. It’s also helpful against depression and anxiety thanks to its soothing and motivational effects. Badazz Cheese can make users very creative. It’s a good weed to smoke before band practice, except that the soothing body high turns into laziness and couch lock in later parts of the high. For that reason, Badazz Cheese can help people get a good night’s sleep. The hunger and sleep-promoting Blue Cheese is known for its creative uplift and tendency to help people with pain due to inflammation and nausea. It’s also an incredible mood stabilizer for people with depression, irritability due to mental health, stress, and PTSD. Pain and anxiety are all alleviated by Banana Berry Cheese. It’s frequently used as an aphrodisiac, with a euphoric, cerebral high and a body buzz to match. Banana Berry Cheese is also used for inflammation related ailments like migraines and arthritis as well as easing muscle spasms, nausea, and the pain of glaucoma, PMS, and chronic pain. It’s a deeply calming high, with some major couch lock near the end. No matter what kind of high you’re looking for, KSCO has something that will please just about anyone who likes quality cannabis.

Typical Flavors of Cheese Family Strains

While it may be tempting to think of Cheese family strains as a group that taste like feet and skunks, they actually have a wide range of fruity flavors that make tasting them more like a picnic. A dry toke of this strain is like a bite of strawberry banana yogurt, but where it goes from there is up for debate. Banana Berry Cheese tastes like a vegetarian charcuterie plate full of apples, grapes, Swiss and cheddar cheeses. Others say that BBC tastes like eucalyptus leaves and cinnamon bark in apple sauce on the first inhale. It likely depends on the terpene profiles of specific batches, given that its major terpenes are fruity myrcene and crisp pinene. Regardless of whether you end up with a sweet herb waft or a wine pairing, there’s always a creaminess to the smoke. The aftertaste is the lemon slice in a sunomono salad. Blue Exodus Cheese’s tastes are a similar blend of berries and cheese, like a chutney and brie sandwich grilled to perfection on a panini press. Badazz Cheese has flavors of lavender and blue cheese, tasting a bit more like a visit to a French hobby farm. Blue Cheese tastes like goat cheese with blueberries in it served on a rosemary cracker. It’s fresher and even fruitier than others thanks to its Blueberry genes. CBD Cheese tastes like an artisanal soft cheese, accented with notes of bergamot and lavender flowers, going back to that farmhouse idea. Whatever you’re looking for flavor-wise, KSCO is sure to have it in our over six hundred different strain varieties.

Baking and Making Edibles With Cheese Buds

Some Cheese family strains will make fabulous butter for use in savory recipes. We recommend infusing butter with Cheese cannabis strains and then using it to make an alfredo primavera from it. The combination of fresh vegetables and creamy sauce will help to blend together the different herbal, fermented, and sweet flavors of various cheese strains. Just be careful not to get too high. Some of the sweeter cheese strains might also do very well in savory baking like scones or croissants that can benefit from a mix of funky and fruit flavors. When creating cannabis infusions, it’s wise to use recipes wherein all of the ingredients are converted to a liquid for at least a small amount of time. This will help to ensure that the infusion is mixed thoroughly into the recipe, preventing the kind of uneven and unpredictable doses and results that edibles are somewhat notorious for. To keep it very simple, making chocolates with a Cheese infusion might be an even more accessible beginner's way of making your own weed edibles. The only two things you need to remember when making an infusion for baking is that your cannabis has to be decarboxylated, or baked on its own, first, and that most cannabis edibles are based around an infusion of fat. So don’t expect to put decarbed weed on your salad and have it get you high. It might, but not nearly as efficiently as if you infuse your salad dressing for example. KSCO sells the highest quality seeds in America, and we want you to use them your way.

Is It Worth It To Make Cheese Cannabis Oil?

Cheese strains are not always the most popular strains to use when making cannabis oil, as their funky pong can often obscure the taste of rancid oils. But so long as you’re staying clean and hygienic about it, Cheese oil can be a lovely way to use your cannabis without having to smoke it. Edible Cheese family cannabis oils might be quite interesting when added to salads, for example. After decarboxylating your weed, use about a gram of it per half cup of liquid oil and heat the two together. Coconut oil is recommended due to its higher smoking point, but olive oil might be a better match for the fruity, sometimes fermented flavors of Cheese strains. Put the oil and cannabis in a saucepan and heat it between one hundred and twenty and one hundred and eighty degrees Fahrenheit for between an hour and an hour and a half. If you use lower temperatures, cook it for longer. If you are using olive oil, be sure to keep the temperature quite low, as olive oil begins to smoke at just one hundred and ninety degrees. Strain out the pieces of cannabis and your oil is ready to use. Keep it in the fridge so it lasts longer. If you’re wondering if making solvent-based oils like butane hash oil or Rick Simpson Oil is worth it, it’s not. The process causes an extreme fire hazard and is better left to professionals. Kind Seed Co loves keeping our customers safe so they can continue to benefit from our amazing stock of cannabis seeds.

What To Expect When Smoking And Vaping Cheese Concentrates

When smoking Cheese concentrates, expect the excitement and creative euphoria of the early high to set in much faster and stronger, and for the couch lock of the later half to do the same. Cheese concentrates are something of a boutique item, as they tend to have terpene profiles that are a little too complicated for the average user. They also only produce a THC content in the high teens percentage wise, which makes them less popular than the more potent modern hybrids. Nonetheless, using Cheese family concentrates can still be quite an interesting ride for those enamoured of their funky, skunky flavors. It’s possible to even make Cheese dabs at home using a hair straightener, some parchment paper, and measured half gram pieces of flower. Set your straightening iron to between two hundred and thirty and three hundred degrees Fahrenheit. Break up your stash into half gram pieces, placing them between a folded piece of parchment paper so the bud is covered. Place the little parchment square right in the center of the hair iron and clamp down hard for three seconds. You’ll be left with a decarboxylated flower and a smear of cannabinoid and terpene resin on the parchment, your dab. With a little trial and error, adjusting the temperature and approach, you can reliably create high quality dabs. Common terpenes to vape in Cheese strains include myrcene, caryophyllene, pinene, ocimene, and limonene. If you’ve got a vaporizer with an adjustable temperature, you can experiment with tasting them one at a time. When you buy from Weed Seeds, you can always make the most of your chronic.
