A true legend with serious funk. Cheese Feminized mixes Skunk #1 with Afghani for that unmistakable sharp aroma and a euphoric high that still hits just right after all these years. Easy to grow. Hard to forget.
Cheese is one of those strains that earned its rep the old-school way: by stinking out grow tents, turning heads at parties, and delivering feel-good highs that refuse to go out of style. Born from the Skunk #1 family and spiked with a solid dose of Afghani genetics, this classic hybrid is the definition of pungent, and proudly so. It’s easy to grow, stacked with flavor, and offers the kind of relaxing buzz that always lands just right. Whether you're a long-time toker or a first-time grower, Cheese makes itself right at home in just about any setup.
Same great genetics, but with faster results and fewer steps. The Cheese Auto autoflowering version is well worth a look.
Cheese Fem first exploded onto the UK underground scene in the late '80s and early '90s, and honestly, it’s never really left. What started as a particularly loud Skunk #1 phenotype quickly gained a cult following among growers for its nose-wrinkling aroma and big, resilient yields. Someone clever paired it up with a robust Afghani line, and boom, Cheese as we know it today was born. Funky, relaxing, and unmistakably dank, it’s a proud piece of cannabis history that still holds its own in a world of shiny new hybrids.
If you’ve never had the pleasure, the first hit of Cheese is like opening a bag of something that definitely shouldn’t be in the fridge, but in the best way. It’s sharp, earthy, sour, and savory all at once, with a deep musk that sticks to your grinder and lingers in the room. The smoke is creamy and smooth, with just enough sweetness and spice to keep things interesting.
The high leans classic Indica, but without the couch-lock. You’ll get a warm, euphoric lift up front, followed by a sense of calm that rolls over your shoulders and gently anchors you to the moment. It’s perfect for chilling out, easing tension, or just making everything feel a bit lighter without checking out entirely.
With 18% THC and a whisper of CBD (just 0.3%), Cheese Fem sits comfortably in that sweet spot between laid-back and properly satisfying. It’s potent enough to put a smile on your face and melt away stress, but mellow enough to keep your brain in the room. Great for afternoons, evenings, or those “I need a breather” kind of days.
There’s a lot going on in the Cheese terp game. You’ve got limonene bringing the mood boost, beta-caryophyllene for that anti-stress depth, alpha-pinene and beta-pinene adding sharp, herbal notes, and a few background players like valencene, phytol, and eucalyptol that help round out the whole experience. All in all, it's a complex, funky bouquet that fans come back to again and again.
Cheese is about as grower-friendly as they come. She's sturdy, dependable, and doesn’t fuss much about your setup. Even if you’re just starting out with a few pots and a cheap light, Cheese will forgive your rookie mistakes and still pump out a decent stash. And for those who know what they're doing? Expect her to show off a bit.
Indoors, Cheese stays compact and manageable. Ideal for tents, cupboards, and stealthy spare-room grows. She responds well to topping and training, and her bushy structure makes great use of horizontal space. Outdoor growers can expect her to stretch a little more, reaching heights of around 100 cm to 140 cm, while indoors she stays nicely tucked between 70 cm and 100 cm. If you’ve got a sunny patch or greenhouse, she’ll thrive there too. Just give her some room and keep her aired out.
One thing worth mentioning: she’s got that good Skunk funk, so keep your filters fresh if smell is a concern.
Cheese doesn’t make you wait around. Her flowering time is short and sweet, usually between 53 to 59 days indoors. And when harvest rolls around, she doesn’t skimp. Indoors, you can expect yields of around 550 grams per m2 to 650 grams per m2, while outdoor growers can pull in hefty hauls between 700 grams per plant and 800 grams per plant. The buds come dense, resinous, and absolutely reeking. Just how Cheese fans like it.
Cheese isn’t trendy. It’s timeless. With its rich backstory, distinctive flavor, and reliable grow traits, it’s one of those strains every serious grower should run at least once, if not on repeat.

This strain stinks alot. Super cheese and blueberry smell and taste. It's almost like nasty bad breath that stinks but makes you curious lol. When you smoke it, it is awesome. Very tasty strain. Good job wse
2 found this usefulWas just reading some bad reviews. This has been a fantastic company for me to deal with. I didn't receive an order once and they refunded my payment so I could choose what ever strain I wanted again. Now I spend the money on express shipping and receive them normally within 2 weeks. Cheese does smell a lot due to the skunk, so beware of the odour if you grow indoors and don't use a charcoal filter. If you are having trouble at all growing or are new to growing, AK47, and white widow are a bit forgiving. My son has trouble so that's what I give him. Their has not been a strain from WSE I have been disappointed with. Also great people to deal with.
Very bushy plant that grows many colas of medium size. I also made a cool bonsai with all of the vigorous branching. Very cool plant and it tastes great too. Will grow again under scrog and see how that works.
Im very happy with cheese so far being my first ever grow I made all the mistakes and I\'m sure i still am but my plants have continued to thrive no matter what. Germination was great all had tail by 2nd night and went into coco/perlite and 2 months on there eager for flower all leaves are vibrant and green plants are waist height and you can\'t see through them i have 8 in a 4m×2 tent and it\'s filling up
I just read a bit of a negative review which doesn\'t make sense to me. I\'m still waiting for my seeds and this is the 3rd time that they\'re sending me a new lot. I believe that they do their very best to keep you happy as a customer. They go above and beyond to make it work. Of course time is a precious thing and you can\'t control what happens at the freight company but I believe that they give you the option of staying on board and be patient or a refund. If you don\'t have the patience you\'ll miss out on some super funky strains I haven\'t seen anywhere else. Hopefully, and I\'ve got all the faith in it, it will all work out and I\'ll receive my order. Happy growing!
