What are UK Cheese Seeds?
The Origins of UK Cheese Seeds
Although the exact history of UK Cheese Seeds is unknown, legend has it that attempts to breed the stink out of Skunk No. 1’s resulted in something distinctly cheesy. The resulting phenotype became known as Luton Cheese, Exodus Cheese—or perhaps most famously, UK Cheese.
Popularity of UK Cheese Seeds
Whether its story is legend or fact, one thing is for sure: the UK Cheese strain became wildly popular throughout the British Isles and eventually, around the world. Today, it’s adored by growers and consumers alike for its musky smell, well-balanced effects, and other exceptional qualities.
In fact, UK Cheese seeds became so popular that they inspired the development of other strains in the cannabis seed industry such as Original Cheese, Blue Cheese, and Cheese Auto.
What are the Characteristics and Uses of UK Cheese?
A mixture of 60% Sativa and 40% Indica, UK Cheese Feminized seeds have a THC level of 22% and moderate CBD content of 3-10%. Below is a comprehensive overview of this strain’s characteristics and uses such as its flavor, effects, optimum growing conditions, and more; read on for the basics of how to cultivate and enjoy.
What is the Aroma and Smell of UK Cheese Seeds?
UK Cheese strain seeds’ signature aroma comes from a rich terpene profile. Aromatics include:
- L-Limonene
- myrcene
- terpinolene
- caryophyllene
- linalool
- ocimene
The resulting scent is an acquired taste. Just like the real thing, its extraordinary smell isn’t for everyone—though adore its pungent funkiness. This strain packs a potent dose of aged cheddar cheese notes. Others have described its scent as skunk-like, funky, and earthy—and just a little fruity.
One note: Because its fragrance is so strong, we recommend checking others in the vicinity who also appreciate its cheesy aroma.
What are the Effects of UK Cheese Seeds?
UK Cheese seeds’ 60/40 Sativa to Indica ratio uplifts yet relaxes. A cerebral mixture, it is known for providing a burst of lucidity. In fact, it’s been nicknamed “Cognitiva” for its cerebral effects.
What are the Growing Conditions for UK Cheese Seeds?
A photoperiod strain, UK Cheese seeds are well-suited to both outdoor and indoor spaces. They thrive in a warm, dry environment, and are reliant upon appropriate temperature and humidity levels.
Yields from UK Cheese Seeds?
This strain has a flowering time of 9-10 weeks and will provide average to generous yields either through indoor or outdoor cultivation. Indoor growers can expect a yield of approximately 14 ounces per m² while outdoor growers can look forward to 16 ounces per plant during harvests in mid-October.
Available Strains of UK Cheese Seeds?
Due to this strain’s wild popularity, UK Cheese seeds have inspired a number of other cheesy strains. Below are a few that we find especially noteworthy:
Blue Cheese Strain
This strain’s lineage is a cross between the Blueberry and U.K. Cheese strains. The result is something creamy, delicious, and yes—quite similar to actual blue cheese. While both the food and the strain may not be for everyone—those seeking blue cheese’s salty, bright properties plus a dose of glee should be in for a treat.
Under the right growing conditions, these strain seeds will produce cannabis plants with truly distinct characteristics, flavors, and effects.
Original Cheese Marijuana Strain
Original Cheese seeds are also a product of the UK’s underground cannabis scene with lineage originating in London. Cheesy and skunky, this strain evokes both physical relaxation while simultaneously uplifting and enlivening the mind.
While its effects and yields will vary between growers, growers can expect indoor yields of approximately 14.1 to 17.6 ounces per m² and outdoor yields of 21.1 ounces per plant. Its available seed varieties include both feminized and autoflowering.
Seeking more cheese? Here are some popular strains with similar properties:
- Blue Cheese marijuana seeds: This aforementioned strain has a similar savory, cheese taste.
- Super Cheese: This strain also has deeply soothing properties and a musky smell to boot.
- Blueberry Cheesecake: For those seeking a little sweetness with their savory.

PSB is my go-to when it comes to seeds because the ordering is so easy and the website is so streamlined and easy to navigate. I also love the detailed product descriptions that provide so much information to help me make the right decision. I get all the important deets, so I know what I’m going to get before the seeds even arrive.

The UK cheese strain might not be for everyone….this funky, stinky weed is great for experienced growers and smokers, exceptional yields and a powerful smell make it one of my all-time faves.
Does well in indoor environments, generally pretty substantial yields if you work in a greenhouse setting. Really needs a lot of dry heat to thrive, so don’t hold back. Good product from Pacific, I’ve never been disappointed!
Leonidas Hart (verified owner) –
Has that cheesy earthy smell you know you are going to love. Such a sweet skunky and tasty strain. A very uplifting high, usually good in the afternoon! A real nice little buzz. Gives me what I want and WHAT I NEED! I’m not a professional grower. Don’t know much. Just learning as I go along and it’s a-ok by me. New to the game, just enjoying the ride, and these cheeeeep prices!
Maggie Jimenez (verified owner) –
Oh yes, UK cheese is delicious, fruity, cheesy, and luxurious! It’s an affordable grow, usually I spend $100 or less on seeds and shipping and score between 5-10 oz of nug, a LOT to work through on my own.
Great for smoking in the evenings for depression, anxiety, and better sleep. It’s also fun to smoke with friends for a relaxing night in with some video games. Super fresh pot with a LOT to offer its users!

Flavors alone will have you hitting this nonstop, with great notes of berries, spice, and of course cheese. The nice euphoric mind high was also very relaxing and this plant yielded quite well with my indoor grow setup.
Lori Farley (verified owner) –
After 10 weeks I got this strain to flower very nicely, with a large amount of buds from this plant and some great tastes in the smoke. Has a nice earthiness to it with a euphoric high. I’d recommend this to anyone looking for a nice body high.

Never been to london but always appreciate a good cheese 😉 I grew this MJ over the summer of 2022 and 21. I am getting progressively better, my yields are increasing every season and I am learning some invaluable tips from reading the blogs and articles on this website. I am so stoked on MJ seeds from pacific that I even bought them for my brother for Christmas and now hes a grower too!
PlasmaPaladin57 (verified owner) –
I was really impressed with the fast growth of UK Cheese, and the euphoric and relaxed feeling I got from the high was absolutely worth the 2 months it took to grow. Pacific’s customer service was incredibly helpful in recommending this strain and their blog gave me some great tips.

With its distinctive aroma of cheese, this popular hybrid delivers a balanced and potent high, relieving pain while boosting cognitive function.

We all gotta save money in this life. I got real lucky with this one cause it saves me a ton a $$ every time I grow it. The yields are spectacular, the flower looks great and smells like a strong English cheddar. I usually harvest about 150 G per plant, thereabouts, and it’s Indica energy makes it a slow smoke so it lasts a LOooooong time. No more dropping money at the dispo for me!

A rare find, especially online, but great seeds that have excellent growth potential in most growing climates! Very tasty weed with some strong flavor, similar to skunk weed or bleu cheese strains. My nugs were beautiful, they smelled like roquefort cheese and were covered in sticky crystals. Haven’t had this much luck in ages!
Bryson Sheridan (verified owner) –
Hopefully this weed will as kind to you as it was to me. It’s been a great energy, helpful for maintaining balance in an imbalanced world. The nugs are nice and tight. They look pretty great. Very sticky, crumbly, totally beautiful!!

sarah goldman (verified owner) –
This was a pretty funky strain and I used to smoke it back in Boston. I moved to the west coast cause I love the mountains and wanted to live somewhere I could grow weed freely. This stuff is about the best you can expect from an online purchase. Fast delivery, good growth, and seriously nice yields. I love the smell and maybe you’ll like it too!

UK cheese is as good as the stuff you get in the beer cheese soup at the pub. Just smoke some of this and I am craving life back in London, drinking cask ales and enjoying the pub, really can’t get much better than that! I am not a great gardener, but the growing info on this site made it a lot easier to get good results, and yes it really does smell like cheese!
Nectar of the gods (verified owner) –
How much you like cheese? If you REALLY like cheese then you might like UK cheese weed. Super interesting strain, hella funky, makes my nose hairs curl haha. Smoke it all day every day, gets me stoned beyond belief, and it’s a powerful relaxing buzz. Makes TV watching that much better! Also, I been taking my dog on long walks lately, awesome stuff!
dominate (verified owner) –
I have always loved London, and I wanted a weed that reminded me of my years living there. I got this strain delivered right to my door and immediately started germinating indoors. Got a great yield with a phenomenal cheesy smell to it. I love the earthy flavor and the relaxing indica buzz. Perfect for helping me relax and a take a step back when life gets too stressful, it’s also been good for my back pain and my sleep!
Danielle Ramos (verified owner) –
I feel like I am a star when I smoke this weed. It’s absolutely delicious and very sweet. Kinda like cheesecake, kinda like just plain cheese haha. I ordered my pot seeds online and had them delivered right to my place. It’s super fast and simple to order online and I really like their selection. I got myself nearly 400 grams of marijuana, all to myself! Good for smoking at night cause it’s really relaxing and fun.
Drywall (verified owner) –
Pass the cheese please! This weed is truly delightful, it’s got a wonderful cheese taste and smell to it, and it’s also kinda sweet and delicious, you will absolutely adore it! I got my seeds delivered from pacific, amazing online catalog, and their prices can’t be beat. These pot seeds have amazing genetics, and really allow you to thrive in the world. I smoke this every evening to relax. It’s a nice indica blend that won’t let you down!
Tom Bear (verified owner) –
A surprisingly productive high, gets me super stoned and helps me stay focused at the same time. It’s an easy grow, does well indoors for sure and it smells like crazy! I love the mild cheesy flavor, very unique, and the buzz lasts all afternoon long. Perfect for after lunch or just simply to have around the house after work is over. I personally enjoyed the grow, but it did take some TLC, so make sure you have the time to manage it before you go ahead with it!

If you dig the smell of cheese and a like the couch lock of indica, then this is gonna be a worthy investment for you! This stuff is a great grow, super engaging and fun, and the buds turn out super bright green with these streaks of white and orange, pretty wild stuff! Happy I got this stuff from pacific, they have amazing customer service, and the online ordering was really fast and simple. Good stuff!
Ezekiel Huang (verified owner) –
I like the sativa benefits of this weed, it’s been great for giving me energy in the morning and keeping me focused at work. It helps with my mood as well, because we all know work can be a drag. It’s worth the longer growing period, and you’ll definitely get a good yield, even if you’re not an expert. I think this might be my fave weed, especially cause of that funky cheese smell!
Amelia L. (verified owner) –
MMMMmmmmmm this is such a delicious strain of weed, and so much fun to grow in my basement. Ordered my seeds online through PSB and had em shipped out in just over a week, such a great delivery time! They all germinated without issue and gave me 3 beautiful plants! I love how tall and bushy they got and the smell is so delicious. Love getting stoned on this stuff!

I’m really thankful for finding this strain of pot. I’ve struggled with chronic back pain for a long time, but any kind of pain killers I took in times past would have me feeling groggy and kind of light-headed. Not UK cheese mj. This marijuana relieves the pain in my back but what’s more, it doesn’t leave me feeling groggy or out of it. IN fact, it actually sharpens my mind and gets me feeling more awake and alert if you can believe it. It’s really quite an ideal treatment for me, and like I said, I’m really grateful to have found it. Also glad it’s an easy grow – I grow it inside and have never had any difficult growing issues.
Sawyer E. (verified owner) –
Definitely a funky strain, but well worth it if you like a unique variety of weed! I had a bit of trouble getting seeds to germinate, but they all popped eventually and soon I had 3 beautiful bushy weed plants in my basement, smells and tastes like skunky cheese, but it’s a really relaxing high that has some seriously good vibes!

I’m a Brit livin in Canada so of course I had to get this weed. Ordered online from Pacific here and received my seeds in a flash. Got all 5 going right quick and they grew simple. Harvest time went off and after a few tokes I’m happy with the UK Cheese. Nice colour, excellent taste. No complaints, except that I didn’t order more seeds. Going to fix that right away and get another crop going real soon.
Ramon O. (verified owner) –
Oh wow. I think I found my new favorite weed. I hadn’t really heard of UK Cheese but after chatting with the folks at Pacific, they convinced me I needed to try this strain. After two months of waiting, I finally got to try it. This is probably the most balanced hybrid there is out there. My plants grew super easy and I think my harvest was pretty alright. Thanks Pacific!
Silvan Y. (verified owner) –
I have mixed feelings about UK Cheese marijuana. On one hand, I really love this hybrid because it is balanced perfectly: it takes away pain (I use marijuana for medical purposes, for pain in my hands) but it does NOT make me feel sluggish. I also really appreciate that there’s no brain crash a few hours after use, it’s just a good, stable high and pain-reliever. However, that SMELL. I heard the smell of UK cheese takes some getting used to, and I guess that’s correct! It’s a bit pungent, but I’m not a fan of blue cheese overall, so there you go. The smell already is starting to grow on me a little bit, so by the time I use up this crop, maybe I’ll even like it, LOL. ?
Doug D. (verified owner) –
A nice solid buzz, not too heady or sluggish, which is exactly what I like! Ordered online with PSB and those seeds showed up in no time at all, started planting in the backyard and after like 4 months I had a solid 350 G to work with. Yup it really does taste like cheese, so be prepared for that, but the high is really super chill and not overpowering. Like I HATE couch lock, and this weed does a great job just making me relaxed but not knocking me off my feet. Solid mj for the ages!
Tia M. (verified owner) –
Makes me feel like a block of cheese, just all warm and gooey and toasty. Keep it warm and dry indoors and you’re all set, it wasn’t super hard weed to grow. Flowered in a little more than two months which may be a turn off for some people but this weed is pretty damn potent (and if you like cheese like me it’s delicious) so I think it’s worth the extra flowering time. The high is really cool in that it’s both very physical and mental unlike some strains and even hybrids that really lean towards one or the other.
Maxine X. (verified owner) –
A nice, thick, bushy plant. I’d recommend keeping humidity down for a better harvest – I’ve been told that this plant likes a drier climate. This weed is also pretty CBD heavy for those of you who prefer to physically melt rather than mentally drift away, although the indica/sativa mix is pretty even. I ordered these seeds and had them shipped to Canada and they arrived much faster than I excpected, so thanks for that!
Diego L. (verified owner) –
Yes the legends are true this strain smells just like cheese! For me personally this is a plus cause I love cheese and just how easy this train was to grow indoors! I like to smoke before work cause sitting in the office chair really bums me out and hurts my back and neck and the buzz off of this stuff kills the pain while keeping me fresh and alert. If you’re a new grower, buy this variety and give it a go, if you can get past the smell you’ll be SO happy you did! And if you’re a pre-work smoker like myself, say peace out to the doldrums, this pot will get you through the 9-5!!!
Amy Trance (verified owner) –
Really smells like cheese! Kind of an incredible pain killer. I have some serious chronic pain, but prescribed painkiller drugs make me very nauseous and I end up puking every time. UK Cheese helps me get through the pain without making me super sick. I’d recommend this to anyone with an allergy to codeine and looking for something to relieve pain. This strain of cannabis also helped improve my mood, which was a definite plus. Didn’t make me pass out or get stuck in the couch, which is also a complaint I have about pharmaceutical painkillers. I can’t say it enough — if you have chronic pain, order this strain. It’s a good one!
Glenn L. (verified owner) –
Kind of a funky weed if you’re in the mood for something different. Glad I went with this strain even though I had my doubts, it wasn’t too difficult to grow through did require some specific watering and lighting to keep it from stressing out. Got a nice yield at the end though and my house smelled like cheese for a while haha, but the mj is very uplifting, positive and encouraging, keeps me working throughout my morning with a lot of room for creativity and productivity. A very satisfying weed!
