Strain Integrity

According to Leafly, “ Cheese (also called UK Cheese or Exodus Cheese) is a famous clone-only strain that originated in England around 1989, reportedly from a pack of Sensi Seeds’ Skunk #1. An extremely potent and high-yielding plant with a pungent cheese-like odor, it was passed around the underground to various growers and breeders over the years until it became one of the most popular and ubiquitous strains in the UK. Sometime around 2004, the breeder known as “Big Buddha” took this clone and crossed it with a carefully selected Afghani indica to create a seed version of Cheese. Big Buddha Cheese won the High Times 2006 Cannabis Cup in the indica category and went on to become probably the most popular and widely available Cheese hybrid produced in seed form. It is known for its sweet, tropical fruit meets skunky-cheese smell and large yields of high potency flowers.  ”

From the OCS website, ” If a cheese puff & a cannabis plant had a baby, this strain would be its offspring. BBC is an extremely potent and high-yielding plant with a pungent and cheese-like odour. This strain is one of the most popular and widely known Cheese strains. It is also known for its sweet, tropical fruit, and funky cheese aroma. ”
