How to grow Swiss Cheese
Taste
Seb's take
An early Swiss skunk crossed with a robust Nepalese strain, giving this regular version an old-school flavour its feminized sibling can't quite claim. Creamy, herbal and sweet on the nose; the high is sociable, giggly and creative, forgiving of enthusiasm and resistant to mould.
Where it comes from
Nirvana crossed Swiss Miss with Skunk #1 for this regular-seed version, and the Swiss Miss side — itself an early Swiss skunk crossed with a robust Nepalese line — is where the character comes from. It lends an old-school flavour the feminized siblings can't quite lay claim to. A regular strain, then, in both senses: males and females, and a taste that predates most of what shares the shelf with it. Beginner-friendly and mould-resistant into the bargain.
Nose & flavour
The nose is creamy and sweet with a herbal edge — the old-school profile the breeder prizes, more dairy and green than fruit or fuel. Soft and rounded rather than loud. Sweet and creamy up front, the herbal note giving it an earthy, dated charm. An aroma with a memory to it.
The high
At fifteen to eighteen percent THC the effect is a sociable, cheerful one — giggly and creative, with enough focus to keep it functional and enough relaxation to keep it pleasant. Company for a gathering rather than a quiet corner. Euphoric without tipping over, and clear enough to stay useful. An agreeable all-rounder, forgiving of enthusiasm.
Growing it
A quick and forgiving grow: flowering runs a short forty-two to fifty-six days, and she resists mould well, which takes some of the fear out of a damp tent. Yields sit between 400 and 500 g/m². No height is recorded, so I'll not guess at it. As a regular strain she'll throw both sexes, so a grower after seed can keep a male aside. Well-suited to a first attempt, and quick to reward one.
