GH Cheese Feminised Cannabis Seeds by Greenhouse Seeds
GH Cheese is a feminised cannabis seed from Greenhouse Seeds that delivers a heavy, physical stone rooted in one of the most famous Skunk phenotypes ever passed around. Built from a legendary clone-only UK Cheese cut, this strain has been stabilised into seed form without losing the pungent, savoury funk that made the original a household name across Amsterdam coffeeshops and beyond. With 25% THC and yields that can hit 800g/m², she's as productive as she is potent.
Which Pack Size of GH Cheese Seeds?
Greenhouse Seeds GH Cheese is available in packs of 3, 5, and 10 feminised seeds. If you're running a single ScrOG setup, 3 seeds gives you enough to select the best phenotype and still have a backup. Go for 5 if you want to fill a 1.2m x 1.2m canopy comfortably with some insurance against any germination hiccups. The 10-pack is for growers who want to pheno-hunt properly or run multiple cycles — and it works out cheaper per seed.

| 5 seeds | CSGH0116 | Full canopy coverage with selection room |

Running GH Cheese in a ScrOG? You'll want a proper net and some sharp trimming scissors — the branching on this strain gets dense. A carbon filter is non-negotiable once she enters flower; the Cheese funk is legendary for a reason. Pair with a reliable pH meter too, because heavy feeders like this one punish sloppy nutrient management fast.
Why GH Cheese Deserves a Spot in Your Grow Room
There's a reason the original Cheese clone was guarded like gold in the UK scene during the late '90s and early 2000s. Nothing else smelled like it, nothing else hit quite the same way — a slow, creeping body effect that locked you into whatever you were doing, whether that was a film marathon or staring at the ceiling with a daft grin. Greenhouse Seeds took that clone-only legend and bred it into a stable, feminised seed you can actually buy and grow yourself. That's no small feat.
What makes GH Cheese stand out from the dozens of "cheese" strains floating around? Two things: yield and consistency. We've seen growers pull 800g/m² indoors with proper ScrOG technique, topping, and pruning — and that's not marketing fluff, it's what this plant genuinely wants to do. She branches aggressively, fills a net fast, and stacks dense buds that get heavy enough to snap branches if you don't support them. Outdoors, the same 800g figure applies per plant, which is borderline absurd for an 8-week flowerer. September harvest, no waiting around until November hoping the rain holds off.
The honest limitation? That aroma. It's glorious if you love a proper funky, Parmesan-tinged skunk smell — and absolutely disastrous if your ventilation isn't sorted. We'd go as far as saying: don't pop these seeds until your carbon filter is installed and tested. The smell starts in early flower and only gets louder. If you're growing in a flat, your neighbours will know. Compared to something like a Kush strain that stays relatively contained, GH Cheese broadcasts on all frequencies. Plan accordingly.
How GH Cheese Smells, Tastes, and Hits
Open a jar of properly cured GH Cheese and the first thing that hits you is a sharp, sweet skunkiness undercut by something unmistakably savoury — aged Parmesan, almost. There's pine in there too, a resinous sharpness that cuts through the funk. It's not a subtle strain. In a room full of jars, you'd identify Cheese blindfolded.
At 25% THC, the effect builds slowly. You might not feel much for the first few minutes, then it creeps up from behind — a warm, heavy physical sensation that settles into your limbs and makes the sofa feel like it was custom-moulded to your body. There's a happy, contented quality to it, but this isn't a "get up and do things" strain. GH Cheese is for the end of the day, when you've done everything you need to do and want to properly switch off. If you're after something more uplifting and functional, a Haze-dominant strain like Greenhouse's Super Lemon Haze would be a better shout. Cheese is the opposite end of that spectrum — unapologetically heavy.
How to Grow GH Cheese Feminised Seeds
- Germinate your GH Cheese seeds using the paper towel method or directly in a small pot of moist, airy seedling mix. Taproots typically emerge within 24-72 hours at 22-25°C.
- Transplant seedlings into their final containers once the first set of true leaves appears. GH Cheese responds well to 11-15 litre pots for indoor ScrOG setups.
- During vegetative growth, top the main stem once she has 4-5 nodes. This encourages the lateral branching that makes Cheese such a strong ScrOG candidate. A second topping of the resulting branches gives you an even canopy.
- Install your ScrOG net roughly 40cm above the pot rim. Tuck branches under the net as they grow through, spreading them outward to fill every square of the grid before flipping to 12/12.
- Switch to flowering light cycle (12/12) once 70-80% of the net is filled. GH Cheese stretches moderately in the first two weeks of flower — keep tucking during this phase.
- Ensure your carbon filter and extraction fan are running before flower. The Cheese terpene profile kicks in hard around week 2-3 of flowering and intensifies until harvest.
- Support heavy colas with plant yo-yos or bamboo stakes from week 5 onward. The bud density on this strain can genuinely snap branches — we've seen it happen.
- Harvest after approximately 8 weeks of flowering, when trichomes show mostly milky with some amber. Outdoors, expect to chop in September.
- Dry slowly in a dark room at 18-20°C and 55-60% humidity for 10-14 days, then cure in sealed glass jars for at least 2 weeks. The Cheese flavour deepens significantly with a proper cure.
GH Cheese vs Other Cheese Strains
The cannabis seed market is thick with Cheese genetics — so why pick Greenhouse Seeds' version? The short answer: proven competition results and yield figures that hold up. GH Cheese took 1st place Outdoor and 2nd place Indoor at Spannabis 2013, which remains one of the most competitive cannabis cups in Europe. That's not a participation trophy; Spannabis draws entries from every serious breeder on the continent.
Compared to Royal Queen Seeds' Royal Cheese, GH Cheese tends to produce heavier yields — that 800g/m² ceiling is hard to match. If you want a Cheese with autoflowering convenience instead, something like a Cheese Auto will finish faster but won't come close on weight or potency. For growers who want the classic Cheese experience without compromise, GH Cheese from Greenhouse Seeds is the benchmark we'd measure others against.
Frequently Asked Questions
How long does GH Cheese take to flower?
GH Cheese finishes flowering in approximately 8 weeks indoors. Outdoors, she's ready for harvest in September. That's notably fast for a strain that produces up to 800g/m².
What does GH Cheese smell like?
Expect a strong, sweet skunkiness with distinct notes of aged Parmesan cheese and pine. The aroma is intense — a carbon filter is essential during the flowering phase unless you want your entire building to know what you're growing.
Is GH Cheese good for ScrOG growing?
GH Cheese is one of the best ScrOG candidates we've come across. She branches vigorously after topping, fills a net quickly, and responds well to the horizontal canopy training that ScrOG requires. This is how growers hit that 800g/m² ceiling.
What THC percentage does GH Cheese reach?
GH Cheese tests at around 25% THC. The effect is a slow-building, heavy physical sensation — it creeps up rather than hitting immediately, so give it a few minutes before deciding you need more.
Do GH Cheese plants need branch support?
Yes. The buds get dense and heavy enough to snap branches, especially from week 5 of flowering onward. Use plant yo-yos, bamboo stakes, or trellis netting to support the colas. This isn't optional — it's damage prevention.
How much does GH Cheese yield outdoors?
Outdoor plants can produce up to 800g per plant when given enough space and sunlight. That's a serious harvest from a single plant. Make sure she has structural support and good airflow to handle that much bud weight.
Has GH Cheese won any cannabis cups?
GH Cheese took 1st place in the Outdoor category and 2nd place in the Indoor category at Spannabis 2013. Spannabis is one of Europe's most competitive cannabis competitions, so those placements carry real weight.
