CBD Cheese

Originally developed in the United Kingdom, the iconic cheese-flavored cannabis strain is now available in a high-cannabidiol (CBD) version intended primarily for therapeutic use. This rather unusual blend of sensory qualities and medicinal benefits has resonated with cannabis growers worldwide.

Genetics and Characteristics

It should be noted that for a long time the original Cheese strain was confined to secret home gardens in the UK, while many international growers were desperate to get their hands on a clone of this pungent variety. Once breeders managed to obtain the genetic material, the situation changed dramatically, and virtually every seed bank now has its own version of the legendary Cheese. It was only a matter of time before this hybrid joined the pantheon of medical cannabis. Breeders had to undertake a meticulous project to cross the classic Cheese with a high CBD strain. The result was impressive, and after final stabilization of this photoperiod hybrid, they obtained a well-balanced plant with the perfect combination of indica and sativa, as well as CBD and THC (10-12% and 8-10%, respectively). Since neither genetic side is dominant, this newcomer to the cannabis scene inherits the best qualities of both the sativa and indica worlds.

Indoors, the flowering period lasts 50-60 days. Outdoors, the harvest can be expected in the second half of October. Obviously, such an extended cycle allows plants to reach gigantic sizes. Outdoors, 10-foot "trees" are not uncommon. Indoors, the vertical limit is 7 feet. Plants with a lush indica structure will yield a harvest of 450-550 g/m² (16-19 oz) indoors and up to 900 g (32 oz) of flowers per plant outdoors.

Flavor and Aroma

The flavor profile of this strain is like a cheese platter, complemented by spicy diesel, pungent skunk and unexpectedly smooth floral notes. Citrus freshness is evident in the aroma, and the smoke is accompanied by a delightfully captivating sweetness.

Recreational and Medicinal Use

Moderate THC and high CBD levels create unprecedented opportunities for CBD Cheese to be used for both recreational and medical purposes. The absence of a strong psychoactive effect combined with the impressive therapeutic potential of this strain makes it effective in combating depression, preventing apathy and stress, alleviating anxiety and nervous tension. CBD Cheese stimulates appetite, improves sleep and relieves pain and inflammation. This strain is perfect for those who aren't looking for a mind-blowing high and want to immerse themselves in a mellow, unobtrusive experience. From the first hit, the synergy of cannabinoids creates a sense of peace, serenity and positive mood.

Cultivation

With a balanced ratio of indica and sativa, this strain is remarkably adaptable to all growing conditions, making it suitable for a beginner's debut. The paced development of the plant allows growers to easily control its dynamics, but they should pay attention to height, as CBD Cheese tends to grow tall if not managed.

If grown outdoors, consider how you're going to keep your grow discreet and be sure to choose a suitable location. Indoors, be sure to install a proper ventilation system with a heavy-duty carbon filter, as the aroma of the buds is very intense during flowering.
