Cheese Seeds
Cheese Seeds
Developed in the UK’s underground plantations, the original Cheese seeds first hit the 420 scene in the 80s as a hybrid with Skunk #1 origins and tweaked with Aghani genetics.
As you might expect, cheese strains are characterized by that original, stinky dairy aroma. But as a reliably potentparent strain, Cheese has had more of an effect on the cannabis community than just contributing to her stench.
These days, the deciding factor in whether a strain can be deemed a cheese strain is the presence of Skunk genetics, but at SeedSupreme, we’re just as concerned with high-quality weed seeds and those all-important effects.
The history of Cheese cannabis seeds
Throughout the decades, cannabis strains have emerged from all parts of the globe. Different cultivars boast varying flavor profiles and a range of effects—none quite as distinctive as the Cheese strain.
All Cheese seeds are believed to originate in CA and became one of the most popular cannabis seeds in California. Breeder Sam “The Skunkman” birthed the original cultivar as a Skunk #1 phenotype, which he brought over from the Netherlands.
Afterward, the cultivar roses to fame in the UK at the end of the 1980s. Connoisseurs named the strain “Cheese” due to the strong cheddar-like taste and aroma.
For a while, it was hard to get your hands on Cheese seeds, and all the tasty buds came from a clone-only female. Thanks to a few underground UK breeders who crossed the crop with indica strains, the marijuana seeds became easier to find.
A wide array of Cheese cannabis seeds are available to grow nowadays. Home cultivators can choose from a selection of milder variants to the stinky Blue Cheese feminized seeds. It’s easier than ever to put together a board of your favorite variants.
What is a Cheese strain?
As the name implies, a strain is one with the original cultivar in its gene pool. These unique-smelling cannabis variants boast a spicy and savory profile—very different from the usual sweet, fruity, or herby weed aromas.
Prominent terpenes in many cultivars include caryophyllene, linalool, limonene, and myrcene. The terps blend to form the intense aroma that brings so many fans back for more.
You'll find a delectable choice for any palate, from a sweet cultivar to those with a strong Blue Cheese taste. The smooth and silky flavor of your favorite snack takes the edge off the stinky fragrance, which sometimes takes a bit of getting used to.
As your plant develops and produces chunky nugs, potent trichomes cover their surface. Expect a relaxing and blissful buzz to send you off to dreamland when you puff on this stuff. Some medicinal smokers report help with pain, anxiety, and depression.
Where did Cheese strains come from?
As we mentioned earlier, the original strain comes from California. Sam “The Skunkman” brought back Skunk #1 seeds from the Netherlands and bred Cheese.
Many in the 420 community associate the cultivar with the UK, where it boomed late in the 80s. It continues to be a favorite there, and many variants arose from the OG, like Triple Cheese.
How to grow Cheese seeds
Interested in getting your hands on some Cheese seeds to grow your own? You’ll be happy to hear these crops thrive under the right conditions and provide very decent yields to reward your efforts. Thanks to their hardy nature, these plants develop well indoors or out and can handle humidity fluctuations.
To get the most from your indica dominant plant, maintain a temperature of 70–80°F indoors. Most indicas remain short as they grow, but some cheesy cannabis can reach 6.5 feet tall. If you’re limited on space, implement topping or use a ScrOG net to make the most of the small area.

Plant your Cheese seeds outdoors and let them reach for the skies. In the open, crops prefer a Mediterranean or Continental climate but can withstand harsh weather if needed.

Negatives

Due to the moderate THC levels, it’s hard to overdo it with Cheese seeds. If you enjoy a puff too many, you might experience some anxiety or paranoia. Any newcomers should toke low and slow to keep these sensations at bay.
This cultivar is ideal for evening use. Smoking in the morning or during the day could hinder any tasks you have as you’ll feel too sleepy.
