Purple Cheese Strain Guide — Cheese Funk, Color Notes & Related Packs
Purple Cheese is a pungent, indica-leaning Cheese-family cultivar shoppers search when they want savory skunk-cheese funk with berry-fruit edges and a shot at purple coloration. The lineage most often repeated for the Auto Seeds-era name is Purple #1 × Blue Cheese × Lowryder / Auto #1 (sometimes framed as Purple Afghani × Blue Cheese in casual talk). Other breeders have used the same words for different recipes, so name collisions exist. For related strains, browse the Cheese family. Kind Seed Co is a reseller. Packs below are live catalog cousins with cheese and/or purple branding, not a claim that Kind Seed Co bred Auto Seeds’ original auto. Quick answer: Purple Cheese (often sold historically as an auto) is usually framed as a compact, cheese-forward plant with sweet berry candy over musty blue-cheese notes and relaxing body weight after an easier mental onset. Color is a phenotype-and-temperature bonus, not a guarantee. THC talk in public strain entries often clusters in the mid-teens to high teens potential. Always treat those as anecdotes, not your harvest certificate. We don’t carry Purple Cheese seeds at the moment. If you want purple color with cheese funk, the closest match we carry is Black Purple Cheese Photo Fem, a White Label pack. Adjacent Cheese classics (Blue Cheese, Cheese, Original Cheese) cover the funk without promising the same pedigree as Auto Seeds’ Purple Cheese.
Lineage stories and sensory notes
Lane A (most cited for “Purple Cheese” / Purple Stilton auto lore): Purple #1 × Blue Cheese × Lowryder/Auto #1. Purple Afghani-type parents for color potential and compact structure. Blue Cheese for berry + savory cheese. Lowryder/Auto #1 for age-based flowering in auto versions. Lane B (other seed-bank recipes): unrelated crosses that still use the Purple Cheese words (for example purple × BC Cheese-style trees). Do not assume every jar labeled Purple Cheese shares Lane A parents. Kind Seed Co Black Purple Cheese (live White Label): product copy and table describe a Purple × OG Kush × Cheese style stack (marketing also names Black Water / Purple OG / Cheese). Flower window on the live page: 8-10 weeks after flip. Indoor catalog ~400-500 g/m². Outdoor ~500-600 g/plant. THC potential listed up to ~18%. That is a related cheese-and-purple shop option, not a one-for-one clone of Auto Seeds’ auto pedigree.

Commonly reported sensory notes for Purple Cheese-type flower include musty savory cheese / blue-cheese funk, sweet berry or fruity-candy top notes, and earthy, woody, or pine exhale on some phenos (also listed on Black Purple Cheese tables). Reported effects: many write-ups describe calm, euphoric onset that settles into heavier body relaxation and couchlock at higher doses. Odor control matters: Cheese-family plants can get loud in mid-to-late flower. Carbon filtration is a practical grow tool, not optional perfume. Color marketing is not potency. A green cheese pheno can out-funk a lavender one.
Grow notes and who it fits
From public Purple Cheese auto lore and the live Black Purple Cheese photoperiod table: structure is often compact and SOG-friendly. Historical Purple Cheese autos are commonly discussed around ~60-80 days seed-to-finish depending on cut and conditions. Black Purple Cheese photo runs ~8-10 weeks bloom after flip at average height (~5 ft / 1.5 m on page). Cooler nights can deepen anthocyanins. Do not shock-freeze plants. Dense cheese flowers need moving air and sensible late RH.
Practical list:
- Decide photo vs auto before you build the calendar (Kind Seed Co’s closest SKU today is photoperiod Black Purple Cheese)
- Plan smell management early
- Use LST or light topping on photos. Keep stress low on autos once pistils show
- Watch mold in cool, wet autumns if chasing purple outdoors
- Cure slowly so fruit and cheese notes separate from chlorophyll
Cheese terps are polarizing and clingy. A slow dry and multi-week jar cure help berry sweetness separate from the savory funk. Burp jars when humidity spikes. Do not rush with a heater. If neighbors can smell the tent through a closed door in week six, upgrade carbon filtration before you add more plants.
Soil and feed guides: soil growing overview, soil feeding schedule, boost yields indoors. Germination steps: how to germinate cannabis seeds. White Label packs carry our 90-day germination guarantee. Often a match if you want savory cheese terps with berry sweetness, indica-leaning evening flower, and purple bag-appeal potential. Less ideal if you want mild, nearly odorless stealth flower or the exact Auto Seeds pedigree. For other purple strains, browse the purple family.

Cheese-family loudness is a facilities problem as much as a genetics flex. Upgrade carbon filters before you scale plant count. When comparing Black Purple Cheese to Blue Cheese or Original Cheese, smell the cured goal you want first: savory funk, berry cream, or classic skunk cheese. Purple bag appeal is optional theater. Outdoor Mediterranean-style summers match many cheese grow notes on the Black Purple Cheese page. Cool wet autumns need earlier harvest discipline. The closest packs we carry are Cheese cousins, not Purple Cheese itself. Re-check stock and lineage rows before every order. White-label catalogs update.
