Green House Cheese
An iconic indica-dominant classic crossing Skunk No. 1 (Cheese) with Afghani—renowned for its pungent aroma and intense physical relaxation.
What is Green House Cheese?
Green House Cheese is a legendary award-winner from the masters at Green House Seeds. This strain captures the unmistakable funk of the original UK Exodus Cheese (a unique Skunk No. 1 phenotype) and stabilizes it with a hardy Afghani indica. The result is a plant that grows faster and stronger than the original clone-only version while retaining the "funky" soul that made it famous.
Known for its massive resin production and distinctive savory profile, Green House Cheese is a staple for those who prefer savory, musky terpenes over fruity ones. It is a high-yielding cultivar that has won multiple Cannabis Cups, securing its place in history as one of the most recognizable flavors in the world.
Terpene Profile
The Green House Cheese strain terpenes are unmistakable. It hits with a sharp, sour-dairy tang that settles into a deep, earthy musk. It is often described as smelling like aged cheddar with a peppery, skunky finish.
Growing Green House Cheese
This strain is a favorite for SCROG (Screen of Green) setups. It grows like a viney Skunk but develops heavy, dense flowers thanks to the Afghani influence. It is highly resistant to pests and can handle a wide range of nutrient levels.
- Odor Control: This strain is incredibly smelly. High-quality carbon filters are mandatory for indoor grows.
- Support: The branches can be thin; use trellising or stakes to support the heavy bud weight in late flower.
- Vigor: It responds exceptionally well to LST and heavy pruning to improve light penetration.
To maximize the "Cheese" funk, avoid over-feeding in the final two weeks. A clean flush brings out the complex organic acids that create the signature savory aroma.
