Cheese Autoflowering
Cheese Autoflowering
Also known as: Cheese Auto, Auto Cheese, Royal Cheese Auto
Overview
Cheese Autoflowering is a hybrid cannabis strain that combines the legendary genetics of the original UK Cheese with ruderalis genetics to create an autoflowering variant. The original Cheese strain originated in the UK in the 1980s-1990s from Skunk #1 and Afghani genetics, becoming famous for its distinctive cheesy aroma and relaxing effects. Modern Cheese Auto strains are typically crosses between Cheese and Critical Mass Auto or similar autoflowering varieties, resulting in predominantly indica genetics (usually 75% indica, 25% sativa) with added ruderalis. The strain exhibits the characteristic pungent cheese-like aroma that made its predecessor famous, combined with the convenience of autoflowering genetics that flower automatically based on age rather than light cycles. Plants typically display a bushy structure with thick, dark green leaves and dense, resinous buds covered in trichomes. Cannabis cultivators can expect plants to reach a maximum height of four feet, remaining compact due to their indica characteristics and ruderalis genetics.

Growing Information
Cheese Autoflower is considered excellent for beginners due to its ease of cultivation, resilience to pests and diseases, and autoflowering genetics that eliminate the need for light cycle manipulation. The flowering time ranges from 8-12 weeks from seed to harvest, with most varieties completing in 9-10 weeks, making it relatively fast-growing and ideal for multiple harvests per year. Indoor yields typically range from 450-550g/m² under optimal conditions, while outdoor plants can produce 150-500g per plant depending on growing conditions. Optimal growing temperatures are 70-80°F (21-27°C) during the day with slightly cooler nights, and humidity should be maintained at 50-60% during vegetative growth, reducing to 40-50% during flowering to prevent mold. Plants remain compact at 70-110cm (2-4 feet) tall, making them suitable for small spaces and stealth growing. The strain produces a strong odor during flowering, requiring proper ventilation and carbon filtration for indoor grows.
