Cheddarhead
Also known as: Cheddar Head
Overview
Cheddarhead is a sativa-dominant hybrid cannabis strain (70% sativa, 30% indica) bred by Alphakronik Genes as part of their acclaimed "Cheddar" lineup. Released on February 16, 2013, following the success of Cheddarwurst 1 & 2, this strain was created as an improved variant with enhanced yields and fruitier flavor profiles. The strain crosses the famous Exodus Cheese, a UK Skunk phenotype discovered in 1988, with Snowdawg 2, creating a unique combination of potent genetics and resinous characteristics.
Despite its sativa dominance, Cheddarhead produces notably relaxing effects that users describe as body-focused and calming. The strain's appearance features dense, medium-density buds with abundant trichomes and a super sweet aroma that can overpower indoor growing setups. The flavor profile ranges from blueberries and grape to cotton candy and skittles, with distinctive blueberry, cream cheese, and skunk terpene notes. This versatile strain is particularly noted for being ideal for evening use or post-work relaxation, as it tends to reduce motivation for completing tasks while maintaining mental clarity and a sense of being active yet content.

Growing Information
Cheddarhead is well-suited for both indoor and outdoor cultivation with a flowering time of 8-9 weeks (56-63 days). The strain shows effective resistance to mold and mildew and is considered a hearty grower. It responds well to SOG/SCROG growing environments and requires heavy training to maintain its bushy structure upright, as buds can become heavy enough to hang down. The plant produces improved yields over its Exodus Cheese parent with intense trichome production. Indoor growers should be prepared for very strong aromas requiring air purification. The strain was never available as feminized seeds and is suitable for both indoor and outdoor cultivation.
