Cheese is the name of a particularly dank strain of cannabis. Named after its pungent aroma, this strain originated in the UK and quickly took the world by storm. UK cheese weed was cross-bred with the Skunk #1 strain, which is how UK cheese inherited its famous smell characteristics.
The gene responsible for the strain’s delectable trichome production and impressive yields comes from its Afghani genetics, which also gives this hybrid its impressive Indica properties. The cheese weed THC level comes in at a whopping 16% and higher, depending on the cross-breeding.
Let’s run through the different types of South African cheese weed strains, as well as the cheese weed effects we can expect from this world-renowned strain. If you are looking for a variation of cannabis seeds in South Africa, follow the link.

Cheese Weed Strain South Africa – Final Thoughts
In South Africa, you can find multiple variations of the famous Cheese strain. One of which is the unique local Cape cheese strains, locally known as Cape Kaas. We personally enjoy many successful harvests with this indoor cheese weed.
While growing, keep the humidity levels as low as possible, as this strain can be susceptible to white powdery mildew. But as long as you keep control of that, you should have a great harvest. If you are searching for another great cannabis strain to pair with your cheese, look at our post on Durban Poison Seeds. We wish you a dank harvest.
