How to grow Triple Cheese
Taste
Seb's take
Original Cheese crossed with Blue Cheese, doubling down on a pungency strong enough to bring a tear to the eye before you've even lit up. Sweet and pungent with a distinct cheese character on the nose; the high is relaxed, happy and euphoric, the sitting-down sort reserved for the end of a long day.
Where it comes from
Barney's Farm crossed Original Cheese with Blue Cheese, doubling down on the one trait both parents are named for. She leans 80 percent indica, and the pairing is exactly as single-minded as it sounds: two cheese lines put together to concentrate a pungency already famous for bringing a tear to the eye. No pretence of subtlety in the design, just a deliberate intensifying of a known character, from a house with the pedigree to see it through cleanly.
Nose & flavour
Tear-jerking pungency of cured cheese, the record's own words, over a sweet base with the unmistakable Cheese character running through. It does not travel discreetly, and it was never intended to: a loud, savoury, distinctly cheesy nose with just enough sweetness to keep it from turning purely funky. The parents both signed their names here, and they wrote in capitals.
The high
Relaxed, happy and euphoric, the blissful, settling sort the record marks as an ideal end to a long day. This is the sitting-down variety, an 80 percent indica effect that eases the body and lifts the mood in equal measure. Reserve it for the evening rather than the morning: pleasant, restful company for the hours when nothing further is required of you.
Growing it
Set at 22 percent THC, she flowers fast, in a stated 50 to 55 days, stays a tidy 90 to 100cm, and returns a heavy 600 g/m². That is a strong return on a quick calendar from a manageable, medium plant, which makes her an efficient use of a space. The pungency will announce her presence well before harvest, so plan your ventilation accordingly. A fast, generous, compact grower whose only indiscretion is her smell, which is rather the point.
