Blue Cheese

In the sea of indica-dominant hybrids flooding the market, the iconic Blue Cheese holds a special status and mission. This descendant of legendary ancestors has acquired qualities found in only a handful of strains, especially in terms of natural potency and exceptional flavor. This strain is adaptable and forgiving, making it even more appealing to growers of all skill levels. It is a shining star in the Hall of Fame of cannabis breeding, honored with numerous international awards, and brought to you by the seed shop of KADAMA!

Genetics and Characteristics

The genetic backbone of Blue Cheese is the exquisite Cheese, which has achieved cult status in the British community of stoners, growers, and breeders. Cheese was later crossed with the no less remarkable Blueberry, taking the resulting hybrid to a whole new international level.

Blue Cheese is a feminized, photoperiod indica-dominant (75/25) strain with a short but vigorous vegetative phase (5-6 weeks) and a flowering period of 8-10 weeks. During this time, outdoor plants reach heights of up to 2 m (6 ft), while indoors they remain around 1.5 m (5 ft). The THC content of the strain is high, around 20%, with CBD levels of around 1%.

Flavor and Aroma

The standout characteristic of the organoleptic profile of Blue Cheese is its rich, aged cheese flavor, complemented by a pronounced berry undertone. The smoke uncovers an astonishing range of blueberry sweetness, accompanied by a creamy and subtle hint of spice, musk, and earthiness. A touch of acidity on exhalation evokes the flavors reminiscent of Gouda or Parmesan cheese.

Recreational and Medicinal Use

The distinct indica dominance is reflected in a deep relaxation of the body and mind, providing a prolonged, head-in-the-clouds euphoric high. The finale is a pleasant, soothing drowsiness. It is the perfect end to a stressful day!

Experts from countries where cannabis is legally used for medicinal purposes report Blue Cheese's efficacy in treating chronic pain, stress, depression, and anxiety. Moreover, this strain promotes an overall energy boost and improves appetite.

Cultivation

There's nothing to worry about if you're a novice grower, because Blue Cheese is actually an easy-to-grow plant. Besides, you won't face any difficulties no matter which method of cultivation you choose, whether it's the cozy and comfortable indoor environment or the great outdoors. Professional growers are advised to opt for a hydroponic system, unleashing the strain's full potential.

Unlike most indica-dominant hybrids, the plant will expand vigorously throughout the flowering period. Therefore, it is recommended to control elongation during the vegetative phase with low-stress training (LST) and SoG/ScrOG techniques. Indoors, to achieve an aesthetically pleasing purple leaf coloration that occurs naturally outdoors with the onset of fall, reduce the day/night temperature differential by 5-6 °C (41-43 °F), with an optimal daytime range of 20-26 °C (68-79 °F).

Boosters rich in phosphorus, potassium, calcium, magnesium, and natural organic compounds should be used during the flowering stage to promote trichome production and improve the flavor of the final product. Don't forget to constantly monitor pH and ppm levels. Pay special attention to the relative humidity to prevent mold on your precious buds.

FAQ

What are the yields for this hybrid?

Outdoors, the yield will be 700-750 g (25-26 oz) of top-shelf buds per plant. Indoors, it will be about 450-550 g (16-19 oz) per square meter.

Is it necessary to install a carbon filter?

It's not just necessary; it's mandatory! With the presence of Skunk genetics, this strain will not just smell, but cut you in half with a sharp and intense "skunky" odor. We strongly advise installing a carbon filter with the option of refilling it during the grow.

What is the terpene profile of Blue Cheese?

The terpenes responsible for the strain's rich flavor and aroma, as well as its potential therapeutic effects, include myrcene, pinene, caryophyllene, humulene, and limonene.
