Nice healthy looking seeds

LOL! That cut came with some heavy restrictions. I'm hoping my Pineapple Chem selection will be straight fire, and that will definitely be given out.

That is because the market is flooded with hype. Don't get me wrong, I have a few hype strains on my site as well. So I'm also guilty, but damn man... a good OG or Blueberry kicks seven shades of shit out of the super frosty, bland shit I see on the daily. Rant over

Yeah, that taste! You described it perfectly! It definitely had a salty thing going on. I wasn't wild about that taste either, and the high was too much behind the eyes for me. I'm not a fan of that feeling. I have a cut of Blue Cheese that will rock your world though. Not sure which breeder it is from though. It has a creamy berry taste. Almost like ice cream.

Taken from another forum: The true origin of UK Cheese I recently went on holiday to the Canary Islands, a friend of mine gave me a copy of Weed World magazine to read while I was there (issue 56). To my surprise, was the article by Big Buddha Cheese? On reading this I decide to tell the story from the beginning. Back in the late 80’s early 90’s, a friend-of-a-friend of mine came back from the Sensi Seed Bank in Amsterdam with some seeds. Most of the plants were males but 4 of them were girls – 3 of the 4 were wankers and one was kind of OK. This plant was cloned and passed on to 3 or 4 different people who grew it alongside some Northern Lights and Silver Pearl plants in their well built grow rooms. I am 45 years old now and have been growing my own weed for about 25 years, 10 of them outside in the wild. My best friend and I decided that we would build ourselves our own grow rooms but didn’t see the need for getting too technical so, we made them out of anything we could lay our hands on – we called them “orange crates” coz that’s what they looked like. As for lighting, we went on a commando raid to a local disused cement factory and helped ourselves to some Sodium and Metal Halide 400’s. We made our own shades from some aluminium sheeting from a local scrap yard. Now all we needed was some nice cuttings. I managed to get some N/L and S/P plants and also one of the Skunks. Most of the other growers concentrated on the N/L and S/P because they are good all rounders. I think one of the Skunks went to Crewe and another to Cornwall. I quite liked the Skunk so I kept it going. Now over the next 7 or 8 years of constant cloning, the Skunk started changing – don’t know why – it just did. It started to get really smelly – I mean really stink. The smell would get everywhere and I was often creosoting the fence to try and mask the smell (a little tip there for Cheese farmers, creosote or burnt toast). Cropping was a nightmare and I wouldn’t even go out because people would often say “you stink”. I was giving some of this weed to my close friends and they all loved it and, as the taste was changing it seemed the strength was too. This weed had become so strong and so smelly that it reminded me of something I had smelt before, but I couldn’t think what it was. Then one day the penny dropped. When I was 17 or 18 and living at home with my parents, I would go out a lot with a friend who worked in a food essence factory. Some days I would see him and he would stink of all different kind of things: fish, beef, vanilla etc. He would bring me small test tubes of concentrated liquids home and use them in my fishing bait (the carp loved the vanilla). One day he put one under my nose and said “smell this one, its called blue cheese, and it’s a real minger”. This was the smell I had been trying to remember. The weed smelt just like it and so she was born. I gave the weed the name “Cheese”. The only cuttings I let out were to people who were incapable of doing their own cloning and only wanted a plant for their own garden in the summer months. Another close friend of mine, known as “Of the Hill”, came to me one day and asked me if I would do him 21 cuttings as he was building a big lab for the Exodus people in Luton. I was a bit unsure of this as I didn’t know ay of these people but, I did it for him because he is a good egg and has dug me out of plenty of holes over the years. Anyway, off he went with his cuttings and I didn’t here too much more about it, other than a good harvest festival was had. “Of the Hill” arranged for a cutting to make it’s way to a coffee shop in Amsterdam in 2003 (Home Grown Fantasy). It was cloned and put on the menu as ‘Cheese’ and went on to claim 3rd place in the cannabis cup in 2004. I recently met an American at a Hawkwind gig in London who had heard of the Cheese in Washington. He had come to the UK to see Hawkwind and smoke Cheese. His face lit up when I pulled a big fat Cheese straw out of my pocket! It’s kind of annoying really – I wish I could have put a patent on the word “Cheese” in the context of marijuana but, it’s kind of difficult when things are illegal. All over the place now I hear people calling all sorts of weed “Cheese” and I say to them “no mate, this is Cheese”. As for Mr Big Buddha? I have plenty of respect for him, but the Cheese is not yours no matter what you call it and, as for crossing her? She does need help –over the years she has started to show signs of stress. Growers will notice that some plants get brown spotty leaves during growing & flowering that results I leaf drop. I don’t know what the cause is, it’s not the soil, the water, the food, or the air quality (possibly a virus of some kind), so I suppose a cross of some kind to introduce some new vigour to her would be a good thing so, like I said, respect to Big Buddha for trying. So for nearly 14 years, the Cheese was living at only a couple of places but now it seems to be everywhere for people to enjoy. I don’t know what she has become – some sort of mutant freak, but she sure hits the spot and everyone who smokes her loves her to pieces. So there you have it – the truth about the origin of Cheese. You can all rejoice that I kept her going for all these years and now you all know how it came about its name. In the grand scheme of things it’s not very much, but I wanted to set the record straight. Wing Commander Blue

Here is a summary of what he says, copied verbatim: "Yes my friend. 87 is a title that refers to when those seeds were obtained by the person who selected them. Not the date I received this cut. The UK Cheese cut came to me in the early 2000s." To me that clears up the confusion.

Twix, let me get some clarity on this directly from the breeder and I will post his reply here. I can tell you that he is highly regarded with guys like GG Strains, Lucky Dog and Karma. People that talk out their ass about what they have usually get caught in their lies sooner or later, and he has been in the game for a while. I've run his OSG Glue, and that came out fire with plenty of glue dominant leaners. Anyway, that is besides the point. Let me see what he has to say...

I'm not a huge fan of cheese, although I do like super skunk and one of my all time favourite crosses is Exodus Kush from DNA. My cut leans more to the OG side though. I once sampled some cheese that smelt like stale feet and cheese curls. It was rank! So unfortunately I'm no expert on a proper cheese. I know it should be smelly, and not sweet. I'm confident in OSG though. If he says he used an 87 Exo cut then I believe him. Happy hunting bro!

I'm looking forward to this

Good morning! The following stock has arrived: - Flash Glue - Sweet Chem - Chem Flyer - Dog Patch - Sherb Biker I'm still waiting on the OSG gear. The site will be updated during the course of today. Cheers!

Thank you brother. If Pineapple Fields is at all pineapple tasting, then the terps will mesh well together. DK should bring down flower time as well, and minimise stretch. Win win.

Here she is in all her pregnant glory...

Step into my parlour, said the spider to the fly

Shot brother man

I feel like a baller Now I can show some nice close up photos of the DK busting out!

My brother went to fetch my new phone and sent me a photo of it. They upgraded me to the top spec S21 Ultra in black free of charge. Christmas has come early!! The 4 week wait was definitely worth it. High 5 to Vodacom! I'm not being a douche... I'm just excited.

We love people with seed addictions!!

I'm very excited about this next seed drop. Here are the strains we will be getting in the next 2 weeks: OSG Blue D#5 - Josh D #1 x NL5 x 80's Blueberry Blue Cough - Caramel Cough #30 x NL5 x 80's Blueberry Banana & Cheese - Exodus Cheese '87 x Banana Punch Old School Octane - Triangle Octane x Jamaican Blueberry x Red Khyber Wedding Cake x Jamaican Blueberry x Red Khyber Super Silver Haze S1 restock Larry OG S1 GG STRAINS Flash Glue - GG#4 x Flashbang (Snowman x Biodiesel x MAC) KARMA GENETICS Sherb Biker - Gelato 33 x Sunset Sherbet x Biker Kush LUCKY DOG SEED CO Dog Patch restock ChemD x Chem91 BX2 Sweet Chem - Zkittlez x Chem 91 BX3 Chem Flyer - Durban Thai Highflyer x Chem 91 BX3

Finally getting my new phone this weekend. Pics will follow soon after that. I can already see the seeds forming. Amazing how quick it is....

DK is definitely pregnant. Still don't have my phone back though, so no pics unfortunately. Vodacom now says they can't get the spares for my phone (after waiting 3 fucken weeks!), and they will just swap it out for a new one. Problem is, they don't have any local stock of that either. So back to waiting. I asked them if I could pay in some money and get the s21 ultra, but they aren't allowed to do that. Aarrghh!

Yeah, flavour always seems the most elusive of the traits. The kinds of flavour I'm looking for anyway. Best tasting strain I've ever had was Blueberry Headband from HSO. I couldn't get it to root though, no matter what I did. So of course I ended up losing that cut. That strain tasted almost exactly like black winegums. It was over the top. Not subtle at all.

I didn't realise they're out of stock or that the seeds are that pricey. I've been sitting on them for years now. Nice cross you're working on there bud. You shooting for flavour?

No need to apologise brother. It is all on topic as far as I'm concerned.

Maybe I will film it and make some side money from youp0rn

I guess we will have to see if I'm able to improve on the 2 lines instead of just straight pollen chucking and hoping to hit the lottery. At this early stage of the game, I'm probably firmly in the pollen chucking category. I do have a goal though. If I achieve that goal over the course of the next few years, then I will consider myself a very novice breeder. Right now, I'm just hoping for a handful of viable seeds. Then the pheno hunt begins for a mother. Then we can have some fun with stash and dash clone hunts. I've already pictured it all in a brain movie
