indica-dominant strain

Cheesotho

Cheesotho is described as an indica-dominant cross of Cheese and the Lesotho landrace. A strong, slightly sweet cheese note meets earth, acidity, citrus, florals and spice. The effects are said to begin with rapid euphoria before becoming calmer and more physical. However, the sources are contradictory regarding its identification as Exodus Cheese.

Editorial profile

Cheesotho in detail

Origin & classification

Cheesotho carries its claimed origin in its name: The related source describes a cross between Cheese and a landrace from Lesotho. At the same time, it refers to the strain as Exodus Cheese, although Exodus Cheese is generally treated as a distinct Cheese selection. The normalized lineage field, in turn, contains only Cheese. Due to these contradictions, the exact genetic and historical classification is not presented as confirmed.

Aroma & flavor

Regardless, the sensory profile is described in detail. At its center is a strong, slightly sweet cheese note said to resemble aged blue cheese. When the flowers are broken apart, earthier nuances emerge. This is accompanied by a distinctly sour impression and a sharp aftertaste. The structured profile is complemented by zesty, citrusy, floral and spicy facets.

Terpene profile

The recorded terpenes are Caryophyllene, Linalool, Limonene and Pinene. The source associates Caryophyllene with the spicy side, Limonene with the citrusy side and Linalool with the floral side. Pinene is mentioned as an additional terpene. However, concentrations or laboratory values are unavailable, so no fixed dominance or identical composition can be claimed for all plants. Aroma and terpene ratios may vary depending on phenotype and batch.

Effect tendency

The effects are described as balanced and occurring in two phases. Euphoric, mentally stimulating and mood-enhancing sensations are initially said to set in relatively quickly. This is followed by a calmer, physically relaxing side. The structured effects also mention calming and balance. These details reflect subjective experiences and should not be understood as a guaranteed progression or medical effect.

Cannabinoids, flowering & appearance

For THC, the source typically states ten to 18 percent, and approximately one percent for CBD. The master data record only upper limits of 18 and one percent, respectively. Both values may vary depending on phenotype, batch and analysis. Flowering time, breeder, growth and yield are not documented.

Further classification

Despite its unclear origin, Cheesotho therefore has a specific publicly usable profile: aged cheese, earth and acidity meet citrus, florals and spice; the effect is described as beginning euphorically and subsequently becoming more calming. Before a definitive genealogical presentation can be made, however, the Lesotho cross and the claimed identification as Exodus Cheese in particular must be editorially reviewed.
