In the 1980s a UK Skunk #1 phenotype known as Cheese was created, Phoenix Cannabis Seeds has now released an Express Auto Feminised version to make growing even easier. Cheese has been a worldwide favourite since its conception. This particular strain stays close to the original with its signature scent and large buds dripping in resin. A number of seed companies sell Cheese and Cheese based strains due to the fact that it is ideal for novice growers. However for those who are basically clueless and just want to learn, this Express Auto Feminised version is a dream come true. A seed being feminised means that it will only grow into a female plant. These seeds are also auto flowering meaning that they flower automatically and skip the vegetative stage. This causes the plants to have a much shorter flowering time than most other strains. They can also be grown to a shorter height without the yield being negatively affected, ideal for those who prefer to grow indoors.

Myrcene and caryophyllene contribute musky, earthy, spicy, peppery, and fresh, piney notes to the cheese aroma. Humulene gives earthy, hoppy notes. These terpenes give cheese its strong aroma.
How did the Cheese strain get its pungent name?
Cheese strains began in the UK in the late 1980s with a stinky Skunk #1 phenotype. This aromatic find was inbred and selectively bred for its cheesy scent and strong kick. It's a story of smelly firsts that created the first Cheese strain, known as UK Cheese.
Do greenhouse conditions affect the terpenes in cannabis?
Due to the controlled environment, legal greenhouse-grown cannabis plants are said to be optimal for terpene creation. These aromatic molecules give cannabis its particular aromas and flavours, and greenhouse factors like temperature and humidity are said to boost terpene levels.
