How to grow Dutch Cheese
Taste
Seb's take
Cheese improved by a cross with Euforia, the potent Skunk selection that raised both potency and yield without disturbing the cheesy signature. Sticky, dense buds grow with enough spacing between them to keep rot at bay — a plant that thinks ahead so you don't have to. Best kept indoors or under glass.
Where it comes from
Dutch Passion set out to improve Cheese and found the answer in their own Euforia — a potent Skunk selection and, the record notes, a personal favourite of some of the team. The cross raised potency and yield without disturbing the cheesy signature at all, which is the difficult trick with Cheese: everyone wants more of it, nobody wants it to taste like anything else. Two named parents, one clear purpose, and a result that honours both.
Nose & flavour
The record lists no formal flavour notes, so I will not fabricate any — but the lineage is unambiguous. Cheese improved by Skunk keeps the pungent, savoury cheese character front and centre. Expect the family aroma, not a departure from it.
The high
No effect profile is recorded, and I will not guess at one. What the descent tells you is honest enough: a Cheese-forward experience given a lift in potency by the Euforia cross, without the character being traded away in the exchange. Familiar company, sharpened rather than altered.
Growing it
Compact at 60 to 80cm, flowering in around 60 days. The buds come sticky and dense with plenty of side growth, and — this is the clever part — enough internodal spacing between them to keep air moving and rot at bay, an important feature in a heavy-yielding plant. A variety that thinks ahead so you need not. Best kept indoors or under glass, where that spacing and her modest height are easiest to manage.
