Editorial profile
Fondue in detail
Origin & classification
The name Fondue reflects the most distinctive sensory characteristic of this Delta 9 Labs breeding: an intense aroma and flavor that the source compares to skunky, aged cheese. Behind this profile is a cross of a female Exodus Cheese and a reversed female Chem-Dawg plant. The structured data shortens the parents to Cheese × Chem Dawg; the detailed description therefore provides the more precise breeder-specific lineage.
Aroma & flavor
Fondue is listed as 75 percent Indica and 25 percent Sativa. The effects are said to set in quickly and clearly affect both the head and the body. In the structured effect fields, this is summarized briefly as strong and body-focused. Further details on mood, progression over time or individual accompanying effects are not reliably documented. A specific THC or CBD range is also unavailable, so the described potency should not be translated into an assumed exact laboratory value.
Terpene profile
Aromatically, the description remains unusually direct. “Skunky old cheese” combines a penetrating skunk character with mature, savory cheese. The source does not mention fruity, sweet or modern dessert notes. Fondue is therefore defined sensorily above all by two closely connected, classic aroma directions. Individual terpenes were not recorded; their composition cannot be reliably derived from the aroma terms alone.
Effect tendency
Delta 9 Labs gives a flowering time of 56 to 70 days, or approximately eight to ten weeks. The summarized field of nine to ten weeks omits the lower end of this range and should therefore be expanded accordingly. A breeder-specific yield guideline of 500 to 600 g/m² is provided. Such figures apply only under the conditions assumed by the provider and can vary considerably depending on phenotype, environment and cultivation practices.
Cannabinoids, flowering & appearance
The original description lists Fondue for both indoor and outdoor cultivation. However, further details on plant height, branching, resilience or outdoor harvest time are not available. The simple suitability statement should therefore not be used to infer additional cultivation promises. Reliably documented are the genetic structure, the pronounced Indica dominance, the flowering window and the strong head-and-body effect.
Additional classification
Fondue thus presents as a clearly defined Cheese-Chem-Dawg breeding with rapid onset of effects and an unmistakably savory aroma. Its profile does not rely on a long list of subtle nuances, but on the concentrated combination of skunk and aged cheese, together with an intensity described as both mental and physical.
