How to grow Cheese
Taste
Seb's take
Shaped from a special Skunk #1 phenotype, kept true to its character across an even 50/50 split. Sweet and sour cheese on the nose, softened by earthy sweetness and a lingering fruity lift; the effect is soothing yet bright, relaxed and happy with a genuinely social edge. Steady and predictable, in the best way.
Where it comes from
Barney's Farm shaped their Cheese from a special Skunk #1 phenotype, keeping the unmistakable character intact while refining the balance; the listed parents are Old Cheese and Blue Cheese. The plant leans slightly indica in posture yet carries enough sativa to stay lively in both flavour and effect. It is a considered piece of breeding, a well-known character kept true while the corners were quietly tidied.
Nose & flavour
The nose is unmistakable Cheese, sweet and sour at once, softened by an earthy sweetness and a lingering fruity lift on the finish. It is pungent in the family way, but rounder and more approachable than the rawest of the line, the funk dressed up a little for company. A full, savoury-sweet aroma that announces itself and then charms you.
The high
The experience mirrors the flavour, soothing with a bright, social edge that keeps the mood open and buoyant. It runs relaxed, happy and uplifting, easy company rather than heavy weight, the sort that suits a room of people as well as a quiet evening. A balanced, sociable lift with none of the sinking gloom.
Growing it
Feminized, with a manageable medium frame around 100 to 110cm and a fast flowering window of 50 to 55 days. Indoor yields are generous at 488 to 610 g/m², and THC is stated at 23%. She grows with a steady, predictable rhythm, forming chunky flowers wrapped in a shimmering resin layer, so keep your scissors clean through the trim. A reliable, well-mannered plant that gives a heavy return on a short schedule.
