Cheese Quake
I am very intrigued by the unique smell and taste of the Exodus cheese cutting and I have been growing and breeding with it for about two years now. I first tasted this unusual strain in my travels to the UK and then later I was able to pick up a cutting from a good friend nicknamed Obsoul33t. Hes an old school grower and collector of fine genetics and he was nice enough to pass along a nice cutting to me. Jill loves the flavor and my patients really compliment its ability to manage day time pain.
I used the cutting to create our own version of Cheese using our Space Queen to add potency, resin and a cherry undertone of flavor. I am still blown away by the way this plant smells and taste but like many strains and me the thrill quickly wore off and I don't use it that often to medicate with. I prefer the taste of the Dairy Queen to be honest but thats not surprising and I lean to that cherry sour fruit taste of the Space Queen.
I do like mixing the Cheese with Urkle in a joint or on my trey to pack bowls with. The musty pungent taste of the Cheese mixes really well with the Grape/Lavender taste of the Urkle. Using TGA's Querkle male, the father of Qleaner, Deep Purple and Qrazy Train to pollinate the Cheese and produced a small load of test seeds.
I started 8 seeds total and they all germinated but I didn't like the way one plant lagged behind so I tossed it away. I transplanted the remaining seven into 2 gallon square pots to take up as little floor space as possible. These pots are high maintenance as you have to water the plants almost every day but until I sex the plants it helps conserve room. I let the plants remain in veg until day 45 when I could pretty much tell the sex of each. The males had tiny stamens forming that I could just make out and I got 4 males and 3 females which was cool with me.
I transplanted them into 5 gallon pots and placed them in the rear of the main flower room. It is climate controlled and uses CO2 to increase the rate of growth. The plants are grown in my super soil and Roots potting soil and a rate of 50/50 using my layering method and fed only water until day 30 of flowering.
The plants gave me no problems and like most plants from seed were very vigorous and fast growing. I thought the plants looked pretty uniform but one was slightly mutated which can be a good thing or a bad thing. I have had some amazing mutated plants produce cannabis of devastating potency and unusual taste and smells but usually yield suffers. That or the plant could stress easily throwing male parts the other danger of a mutant so I will watch the third and different plant and if I dont like the bud growth I may toss her. Floor space is critical here and if I dont like what I see I have a plant to put in her place.
I could not remove the plants for almost a solid month in order to take proper photo's so we will advance forward here 4 weeks. As I suspected the mutant just got more and more weird leaf growth and I had to make the call to remove her and make room for something else. This worked out really well for me though as I prefer to have only two plants wide and as always I am only looking for that one keeper female. This is the plant called Shaggy that I am calling Urkle Dominant but I can also smell cherries and grapes in a big way. It smells like a grape cheese Danish pastry actually. The other plant tagged Wilma is more Cheese influenced and looks to have a higher calyx to leaf ratio at this point.
By week seven of flowering the plants had really packed on some weight and the smells had intensified. The Shaggy female smelled now like Sour Grape gum, the kind with the hard candy outside and the white gum inside being hollow? anyway that's what it smells like to me.
