Editorial profile
Old School in detail
Origin & classification
Old School is an indica-dominant strain from Cheese x Black Domina × Cheese × Black Domina. Ripper Seeds is named as the breeder of this strain. With up to 15 %, the THC levels are in a moderate range. At up to 1 %, CBD plays more of a supporting role.
Aroma & flavour
In terms of aroma, Old School is primarily skunky and cheesy. Pinene, myrcene and caryophyllene complement this impression well and give the profile additional depth. This places the profile more in a classic direction than in a modern dessert or candy scheme.
Terpene profile
Old School is generally described as calming and balancing in terms of effects. Overall, the strain therefore leans more towards a calmer, more physical direction.
Effect tendency
The flowering time is stated as around 63 days.
Cannabinoids, flowering & appearance
Old School is aimed more at people who place greater emphasis on calm, depth and physicality in a strain. Those who enjoy classic, direct and not overly polished strain profiles may find this direction more appealing than purely trend-driven strains.
Further classification
Genetically, Old School comes from the combination Cheese x Black Domina x Cheese. Black Domina is also named as an additional genetic influence. The aroma profile remains distinctly old-school: skunky and cheesy. The THC profile reaches up to 15 % and does not focus on maximum strength. At up to 1 % CBD, this value clearly remains in the background in Old School. It is described primarily as calming and balancing. In Old School, the aroma is not merely an add-on but a central part of the strain’s identity. Pinene, myrcene and caryophyllene provide additional clues as to why the aroma profile works through more than individual flavour notes. This places Old School closer to strains described through calm, physicality and a fuller character. Skunk-leaning lines give Old School a more direct, spicier and more old-school character. The moderate potency range does not automatically make the strain lightweight, but it shifts the focus more strongly towards aroma and effect direction. The flowering time is recorded as approximately 63 days. Ripper Seeds is listed as the breeder, adding to the genetic classification.
