Overview
Cheddar Koi is a hybrid cannabis strain developed by Matchmaker Genetics, known for its unique Hawaiian heritage and complex genetics. The strain is created through a cross between Big Island Koi S1 and Old Dirty Biker (ODB) from Karma Genetics. Big Island Koi itself is a historic cut from the early 2000s, originally a cross between Sour Diesel and an unknown Hawaiian Sativa, and is also known locally as 'Sours' and 'The Pine' in the Puna district on the Big Island of Hawaii. This strain achieved 3rd place at the All Hawaii Invitational qualifier, demonstrating its quality and recognition within the Hawaiian cannabis community. The strain showcases the breeder's focus on developing humid-environment friendly plants with exceptional flavor profiles and potency, as Matchmaker Genetics specializes in adapting Northern California genetics for successful outdoor cultivation in Hawaii's challenging climate conditions. Cheddar Koi stands as one of the flagship strains from Matchmaker Genetics, alongside Better Than Bacon, representing the breeder's expertise in creating mold-resistant, high-quality cannabis varieties suited for tropical growing conditions.
