Origins of Blue Cheese

Blue Cheese’s beginnings can be traced to the U.K. According to experts, it started when local growers wanted to enhance another U.K.-born strain, UK Cheese. Its indica-sativa hybrid genes were crossed with Blueberry, a strain known for its sweet flavour. Much to their delight, the resulting cultivar reportedly embodied all the sought-after characteristics of its parent strains.

Like its UK Cheese parent, Blue Cheese has noted relaxing and cerebral effects that are slightly toned down by its indica-dominant parent, Blueberry. Although it is 80% indica and 20% sativa, it reportedly provides a good balance between mind and body effects. Its long-lasting yet smooth buzz is also partly attributed to its 20% THC level.

Apart from well-balanced effects, the cross of terpene profiles between UK Cheese and Blueberry is also praised by cannabis experts. It is said to be responsible for the distinct and delicious flavour often appreciated by Blue Cheese users.

Growth of Blue Cheese

According to online grow reports, Blue Cheese is an ideal strain for novice growers. It is known to be highly resistant to moulds, mildew, diseases, and pets. Moreover, it is said to thrive in both indoor and outdoor environments without intensive care or maintenance. It takes 60 to 65 days to harvest, during which growers reportedly experience large, resin-rich buds, violet leaves, and green and yellow buds.

When grown outdoors, Blue Cheese is said to do best in cooler climates due to its European genetics. This makes it a rare strain as most thrive in Mediterranean-like climates. However, this does not mean that sunlight is not needed. Experts still advise growers to ensure enough sun exposure and avoid excessive moisture. With the right outdoor conditions, Blue Cheese is said to produce a yield of 22 ounces per plant.

For indoor cultivation, growers report a slightly lower yield of 20 ounces per square metre. Online grow reports show advantages with an indoor setup. For one, temperature and humidity can be controlled to ensure a successful harvest. A daytime temperature between 75°F to 80°F is said to be ideal. At night, growers are advised to lower it to 20°F.

Additionally, experts advise indoor growers to use Low-Stress Training (LST) techniques and the Sea of Green (SoG) setup to boost yields. Because Blue Cheese is a short plant, the challenge is to maximise its flowering sites. Another expert tip is to use a hydroponics system to speed up flowering time.

Blue Cheese Flavours and Effects

Blue Cheese has a reputation for being one of the most delicious and flavourful buds. Its initial aroma is reportedly comparable to well-aged cheese, which soon transitions to more pleasant scents. Users highlight sweet notes of blueberries, grapes, and bananas to perfectly balance its pungency. Overall, it is said to offer a refreshing flavour and a delicious aftertaste, much like its effects.

According to users, Blue Cheese provides a well-balanced buzz for the mind and body. Users claim to experience an improvement in their mood as they drown out their worries and focus on positive thoughts. They also report falling into a deep state of relaxation as the buzz progresses. At higher doses, it is said to offer sedative effects, perfect for inducing deep sleep. Given its soothing high, users prefer to take Blue Cheese at night or after work.

Blue Cheese also has reported medical benefits, including relief for those suffering from body pains, migraines, insomnia, anxiety, depression, and PTSD. Some users also note having a surge in hunger, which is good for people dealing with appetite problems.
