Swiss Cheese

Swiss Cheese results from a remarkable cross between the ever-reliable Skunk #1 and the short-flowering Swiss Miss. This hybrid combines the robust characteristics of a Nepali variety with an early Swiss Skunk, resulting in a strain that reflects its strong heritage in both aroma and growth. 

The unusual Skunk #1 phenotype was first discovered in Great Britain and later smuggled to Amsterdam, where it was bred into the Swiss Cheese we know today. Its old-fashioned taste sets it apart from many newer varieties.

Growing Information

The Indica-dominant Swiss Cheese is a highly efficient and robust cannabis strain. Even in the hands of novice growers, she delivers good yields in approximately 42 to 56 days of flowering.

Swiss Cheese feminized seeds might be your best choice if you have plans for modest indoor cultivation. She is said to perform well and has a short flowering time, but it doesn't stop there for the novice home grower looking for a photoperiod-sensitive cannabis strain (a non-autoflower).

Swiss cheese also scores points in mold resistance and ease of cultivation. The plants grow quickly and are able to hold their own against possible breeding errors, which makes Swiss Cheese rather beginner-friendly. The plants that come from these seeds are very suitable for outdoor cultivation.

Swiss Cheese plants are characterized by high mold resistance, making them an excellent choice for newcomers to hobby growing. Swiss Cheese seeds are feminized, so you don’t have to worry about growing male plants.

You can use Swiss Cheese seeds both indoors and outdoors. Around 5 plants per square meter can be placed under a 12/12 light period when growing indoors. However, if you’re growing indoors, consider the intense smell.

A solid filter system is highly recommended. Due to its limited maintenance requirements, Swiss Cheese is the perfect variety for growing mother plants and producing cuttings.

Characteristics

Swiss Cheese feminized seeds are rather fast-flowering, with a flowering period of only 42 to 56 days. This short flowering time means the plants are ready for harvest early.

Swiss cheese is a medium-sized plant with indica-dominant genetics and a very robust configuration, which is typical of this type of strain. She grows over 1 meter indoors and can even reach 2 meters when grown outdoors.

The maximum indoor yields are 400 to 500 grams/m². For outdoor cultivation, September is the best harvest month. Despite this short period, the yields that can be achieved are quite satisfactory, ranging from 525 to 600 grams per plant.

With a THC content of 20%, Swiss Cheese provides a strong yet generally relaxed ride and a pleasant intoxication. When smoking Swiss Cheese cannabis, you will experience a fine physical buzz that also stimulates the senses psychologically. Its high is euphoric, relaxing, and long-lasting.

The smell of Swiss Cheese feminized is reminiscent of good, stinky cheese, and the flowers have a sharp, earthy, and unsurprisingly cheesy flavor. Those with trained taste buds might even detect a hint of tropical fruit in its broad flavor palette.

This distinctive profile is one of the elements that makes Swiss Cheese genuinely unique.
