Love Peace

Love Peace Feminised Cannabis Seeds by VIP Seeds

Love Peace is a sativa-dominant feminised cannabis seed strain from VIP Seeds, bred from the legendary English Exodus Collective Cheese clone crossed with an Afghan x Afghan hybrid called Love. The result is a tall, vigorous plant that delivers the unmistakeable pungent cheese aroma Cheese fans crave — plus spicy Afghan undertones that give it a character all its own. If you've grown Cheese before and want something with more backbone, or you're new to growing and want a forgiving classic, this is the one we'd point you towards.

Why Love Peace Cheese Seeds Deserve a Spot in Your Grow

Cheese strains have been a staple of the UK and Dutch scenes since the early '90s, and for good reason — that sharp, funky, unmistakeable smell is like nothing else in cannabis. VIP Seeds built Love Peace from the original Exodus Collective clone, which is about as close to the source as you can get. The twist here is the Afghan parentage. That Love (Afghan x Afghan) cross brings structural strength and resilience that pure Cheese cuts sometimes lack, especially in less-than-ideal conditions.

We've seen growers pick this strain specifically because it forgives mistakes. Overwater it slightly, let the temperature swing a few degrees — it shrugs it off and keeps pushing. That doesn't mean you should be sloppy, but it does mean a first-time grower won't lose a whole run over one bad afternoon. The 60% sativa / 40% indica split gives you tall plants with long baton-shaped colas absolutely loaded with bud. Expect them to stretch, and expect to stake or support those branches in the final weeks — the buds get heavy enough to bend stems.

What Does Love Peace Smell and Taste Like?

Open a jar of properly cured Love Peace and you get hit with that classic aged-cheddar funk — sharp, sour, and deeply savoury. It's the signature Cheese profile that's made this lineage famous across Europe. Underneath that initial wave, though, there's a spicy warmth from the Afghan side. Think of it like someone crumbled a wedge of strong cheese over a plate of warm spiced rice. It's not subtle, and your neighbours will know about it if you don't run a carbon filter. The taste follows the nose: cheesy and pungent on the inhale, with a peppery, almost hashy finish that lingers.

Compared to something like Royal Queen Seeds' Royal Cheese, Love Peace leans heavier on those spicy undertones. If you find standard Cheese one-dimensional, this Afghan cross adds a second layer that keeps things interesting.

Love Peace Feminised Seeds — Growing Characteristics

Love Peace is a strong, vigorous grower that pushes tall with classic sativa-leaning structure. VIP Seeds designed this cross to be reliable and fast-flowering, which makes it a solid pick for both novice cultivators and commercial setups looking for efficiency. Here's what you're working with:

One thing to watch: this plant gets tall. If you're growing indoors in a tent, you'll want to top or train early to manage height. An 80x80 or larger tent gives you enough headroom, but in a 60x60 you'll be fighting it. Outdoors, Love Peace thrives — give it space and it'll reward you with heavy, resinous colas that stack up impressively.

Love Peace Effects — What to Expect

The sativa dominance shows up clearly in the effect. Love Peace delivers a focused, cerebral experience that sharpens your thinking rather than melting you into the sofa. VIP Seeds describe it as unlocking the deep bounds of your mind — and while that sounds dramatic, growers and users consistently report heightened creativity and a clarity that makes it a good daytime option. The Afghan genetics add a gentle physical layer that keeps things grounded without dragging you down.

This is the strain you'd reach for before a long conversation, a creative session, or an afternoon where you want to stay engaged rather than zoned out. It's not a knockout. If you're after heavy sedation, look at something more indica-dominant — VIP Seeds' own catalogue or a pure Afghan line would serve you better there.

How to Grow Love Peace Feminised Seeds

1. Germinate your seeds using the paper towel method or directly in a small pot of moist, aerated soil. Keep the temperature between 22-25°C for the best germination rate.
2. Transplant seedlings into their final containers once they've developed 2-3 sets of true leaves. Love Peace responds well to 11-15 litre pots indoors or directly into the ground outdoors.
3. During vegetative growth, top or LST (low-stress train) early to manage the sativa stretch. This strain grows tall — controlling height now saves headaches later.
4. Switch to a 12/12 light cycle to trigger flowering (indoors). Love Peace has a fast flowering period relative to its sativa dominance, so watch for pistil development within the first 10-14 days of the flip.
5. In the final 2-3 weeks of flowering, stake or trellis the main colas. The buds get heavy enough to snap branches if left unsupported — this is the one step you really cannot skip.
6. Harvest when trichomes show a mix of milky white and the first hints of amber. For the focused, cerebral effect Love Peace is known for, lean towards harvesting on the earlier side (mostly milky trichomes).
7. Dry in a dark, ventilated space at 18-21°C and 55-60% humidity for 7-10 days, then cure in sealed glass jars for at least 2 weeks. The cheese flavour develops significantly during the cure — patience pays off here.
