How to grow Red Leicester Tease
Taste
Seb's take
Named for the cheese, and there is a reason — G13 Skunk crossed with the UK's own Cheese lends an aroma too assertive to be politely ignored. The strength follows the smell: no shrinking violet, this. Simple to keep, indoors or out, and ready outdoors by mid-October with a properly generous harvest.
Where it comes from
Dr Krippling named this after the English cheese, and the record insists there is a reason beyond a pun: the genetics pair resin-heavy G13 Skunk with a UK Cheese line, two varieties famed for an aroma too assertive to ignore. The cross, by the breeder's telling, brings out both the smell and the strength of its parents. So the cheese in the name is earned twice over — once at the counter, once in the tent. A pungent pedigree, honestly labelled.
Nose & flavour
No specific tasting notes are set down, so I will keep to what the record does say: both parents are known for an intense, penetrating smell, and the cross was bred to concentrate rather than soften it. Expect the sharp, savoury pungency the Cheese and Skunk lines are built on — a nose that does not travel discreetly and was never meant to. Loud, in a word, and proudly so.
The high
The effect is not itemised in the record, so I will not manufacture one. What is stated is that the strength follows the smell — the cross inherits the potency of both heavyweight parents alongside their aroma — and the THC is listed at 17–21%. Read that as a substantial, no-nonsense sort of experience, but I will leave the character there rather than invent detail the record withholds.
Growing it
An undemanding plant, by the record's account: it asks only for the standard run of nutrients and a sensible watering schedule to thrive, indoors or out. Flowering indoors wraps up in 56 days for a yield of 500 g/m². Outdoors she is ready around mid-October and turns properly generous — up to 900g per plant. No height figure is recorded, so I leave it be. A simple, forgiving grow with a heavyweight outdoor return for anyone with the room and the season for it.
