Head Cheese
Also known as: OG Head Cheese
Overview
Head Cheese, also known as "OG Head Cheese," is a well-balanced hybrid cannabis strain that crosses the legendary 707 Headband with UK Cheese. This strain exhibits a 75% indica-dominant genetic profile with 25% sativa characteristics, though some sources classify it differently. Cannabis testing lab Analytical 360 has measured Head Cheese's psychoactivity at between 13% and a staggering 30% THC. The strain was developed through careful breeding and gained popularity for its distinctive characteristics. Head Cheese produces large, chunky flowers that are broad at the base and taper into a pointed, conical shape, with tightly-coiled leaves in a bright shade of spring green, threaded through with hairy yellowish pistils. The buds are very sticky and may be difficult to break up without the use of a high-quality grinder. This strain has won plenty of fans for its potent and versatile high, offering an unmistakable pungency.

Growing Information
Cultivators say this strain may best be suited for more experienced growers. Whether raised indoor or outdoor, successful growers will be rewarded with buds ready for harvest after 9-10 weeks. Indoor flowering time is 9-11 weeks, while outdoor harvest occurs at the end of October to start of November. Indoor yield can range between 16 and 20 ounces per square meter, while outdoor growing can produce 24 ounces or more per plant. Indoor plants require regular trimming of large leaves to allow air and light to circulate to lower branches. Outdoor cultivation is really only possible in humid climates with high temperatures in the 70° Fahrenheit range. Optimal growing conditions include temperatures of 70-80°F (21-27°C) with relative humidity of 40-50% during vegetative phase, reducing to 30-40% during flowering to prevent mold and mildew.
