Hi All,
Ive had this mother for about 7-8 years now and when we sourced the cutting, we had to travel a seriously long way to get it and paid a lot of money for it.
It was well worth it.
Now the guy we bought it off, a grower of many years and to be trusted with everything including your wife told us it was a UK Cheese with original genetics from the Exodus plant and was taken a few years earlier which is how the UK Cheese came to be.
Of course Ive always been skeptical of this claim but in the past year or so Ive grown pretty much every commercially available cheese from seed that I can find and whatever I have here is special.
It might be UK Cheese, it might not, you might be the milkmans son or daughter....but if you can't prove otherwise how do you find out? I'd go on Jeremy Kyle and get a DNA test but something tells me it doesn't work like that. I don't own a gold chain and I have a job and my Daughter is, well, I don't have any kids that I don't look after so I'm pretty much not gonna get on there!
So back to reality. So this strain has sativa dominence as shown in the leaves, grows rapidly (faster than pretty much everything else Ive tried) is a pain in the ass to take cuttings from (minimum 14 days for a single root), has lots of prominent double serrations on leaves that are out of the light, larger leaves or quickly growing ones tend not to display this trait, the leaf stems always turn a deep red and the plant stems have striped red lines running along them. The bud is incredibly dense, its definitely a cheese and the flowering period can easily reach 10 weeks if you treat the buds for bud rot with prestop. I dare say I could get 12 but have never dared!
The lower portions of the plant node quickly and every single growing tip produces a large amount of bud. Unlike some other strains (e.g lemon haze) this one grows twice as fast and the lower sections grow quickly...so you get lots of lower branches that are viable and a decent size. the internode space is approximately 3-4cm under a CFL. Under HID lights it increases but in proportion to the size of the plant.
I have had 7-8oz (dry weight) per plant in the past with a return of approximately 21-24% from wet weight.
Nothing Ive ever bought or seen has come close to this. So given what the guy said when we got the cutting all those years back he might well be right.
If anyone could offer me any advice on how to accurately identify a proper UK Cheese with original genetics that you can only get from a cutting Id appreciate the help. You cant buy this as seed and this despite what everyone says about them having a UK cheese cutting looks to be the real thing.
I have even tried buying seeds which are meant to be crossed with the original UK cheese and they don't even come close. After growing maybe 20 different cheeses....Im probably close to being sure about maybe thinking I have the real deal here!
Comments welcome. You can have photos if you like too
