Cheese Quake

Cheese Quake from SubCool's The Dank crosses Cheese with Querkle. Its aroma combines pungent cheese, spice and earth with sweet fruit, grape, pepper and citrus. Sources describe a euphoric, cheerful onset followed by more pronounced physical relaxation. THC figures of 18 to 28 percent depend on the batch and phenotype.

Editorial profile

Cheese Quake in detail

Origin & classification

Cheese Quake was developed by SubCool's The Dank from Cheese and Querkle. The cross is described in the source as an indica-dominant hybrid, with a breeder-specific classification of 60 percent Indica and 40 percent Sativa. Its breeding profile is built on the combination of two clearly distinct sides: the savory, spicy Cheese foundation and a sweet, darker fruitiness associated with Querkle.

Aroma & flavor

A pronounced cheese note takes center stage in the aroma and flavor. It is joined by sweet fruit, subtle grape notes and a slightly musty undertone. The structured profile is complemented by zesty, peppery, citrusy and earthy nuances. As a result, Cheese Quake moves between savory depth and brighter fruit accents rather than being limited to a typical Cheese aroma alone.

Terpene profile

Caryophyllene, Limonene, Myrcene and Carene are recorded as terpenes. The continuous description also mentions Humulene, which is absent from the structured field. Caryophyllene is associated with the peppery, spicy side, Limonene with the citrusy side and Myrcene with the earthy side of the profile. Since concentrations and laboratory analyses are unavailable, this sensory classification should not be understood as a fixed terpene ranking for every batch.

Effect tendency

According to the source, the effect often begins euphorically, cheerfully and with comparatively clear thoughts. A deeper physical calm and relaxation is then said to set in. Other recorded impressions include uplifting effects, balance, tiredness and increased appetite. The descriptions are somewhat contrasting in places, particularly between initial clarity and later sleepiness; they may reflect different phases, dosages or individual reactions and are not guaranteed.

Cannabinoids, flowering & appearance

The sources cite a broad THC range of 18 to 28 percent and less than one percent CBD. The master data set, by contrast, contains only a THC upper limit of 28 percent and a CBD upper limit of one percent. The broad range in particular shows that measured values depend on the phenotype and batch. The flowering period is also given as eight to nine weeks or approximately 60 days, which is consistent in practical terms.

Further classification

Cheese Quake is therefore not characterized solely by high laboratory values. More informative are its documented Cheese-Querkle lineage, the transition from cheesy spice to sweet fruit and the two-stage effect described as a euphoric onset followed by a calmer physical sensation.
