What is the Blue Cheese strain?
Blue Cheese is an indica-dominant hybrid (about 80% indica) made by crossing the UK Cheese clone with a Blueberry male. Big Buddha Seeds released the original, and Barney's Farm sells a version built on Original Cheese × Blueberry. Blue Cheese is ready after roughly 8–9 weeks of bloom indoors or in early October outside, and is listed anywhere from 18% THC (Leafly) to 26% (Barney's Farm). Users mostly report a relaxed, sleepy, hungry body high.
Ratio from Barney's Farm and AllBud. Leafly simply lists Blue Cheese as an indica.
The Blueberry side adds a sweet fruit note on top of the sharp, savory funk Cheese is known for.

Where does the Blue Cheese strain come from?
Blue Cheese was first bred in the UK by Big Buddha Seeds, who crossed the original UK Cheese mother with a Blueberry male. The breeder says it tested Blueberry males from several sources, then picked a fruitier male from the first cross to make the final seed line. UK Cheese itself is a famous, very smelly phenotype found in a pack of Skunk #1 seeds in England in the late 1980s.
Barney's Farm in Amsterdam later released its own Blue Cheese from Original Cheese × Blueberry, and many seed banks now sell the name. That is why grow data and potency claims differ: SeedFinder lists Big Buddha's version with 8–10 weeks of bloom, while Barney's Farm gives 60–65 days. Both versions share the same core idea of Cheese funk sweetened by Blueberry.
Does Blue Cheese really smell like cheese?
Yes, many Blue Cheese plants carry a genuinely cheesy, sour-savory smell inherited from UK Cheese. The Blueberry father softens it with a sweet berry note, so most growers describe the dried flower as a blend of fruit and funk rather than pure cheese.
Smell varies by plant. SeedFinder growers report both a stretchier, sativa-leaning type and a short, compact indica type, and the balance of berry and cheese shifts between them.
What do Blue Cheese buds taste like, and what is the high like?
Aroma and flavor
Blue Cheese tastes of sweet blueberry over a sharp, savory cheese base, with an earthy, creamy finish that Barney's Farm also notes.
- Blueberry
- Aged cheese
- Earthy
- Creamy
- Sweet
Terpenes
- Myrcene
- Musky, earthy base; Leafly's top terpene for Blue Cheese
- Limonene
- A citrus lift under the berry
- Caryophyllene
- Peppery depth that adds to the savory funk
Blue Cheese terpene levels vary by phenotype and by which breeder's version you grow.
Reported effects
Most Blue Cheese reviews describe a relaxed, sleepy body high with a happy mood, and many users mention the munchies. Leafly lists sleepy and relaxed as its top effects, and Barney's Farm calls the high euphoric and deeply relaxing, so most people save it for evenings.
- Relaxed
- Sleepy
- Happy
- Hungry
- Euphoric
Cottonmouth, dry or red eyes and the odd dizzy spell are the side effects Blue Cheese users mention most.
Blue Cheese effect notes come from Leafly, AllBud and SeedFinder user reviews and the breeders' descriptions. Your own experience may not match theirs, and nothing here is medical advice.
How do you grow Blue Cheese seeds?
Blue Cheese seeds are among the easier indica plants to grow: keep the short, bushy plants in a short veg or a Sea of Green, give them about two months of bloom on a 12-hour light cycle, and fit a carbon filter for the strong smell.
- Germinate2–7 days
Blue Cheese seeds usually pop quickly. Plant the sprouts about a knuckle deep and keep the mix moist, not soggy.
- Vegetate3–5 weeks indoors
The plants stay squat with strong side branches, so a short veg is enough. Top once or use LST to even out the canopy.
- Flower8–9 weeks
After the 12/12 flip, Blue Cheese stretches only moderately and packs on dense, resin-coated buds.
- HarvestAround day 60 indoors · early October outdoors
Pull plants once most trichomes look cloudy with some amber for the heavier, sleepier effect users describe.
Grow tips for Blue Cheese
- Control the smell early. The Cheese side makes Blue Cheese one of the loudest plants in a garden, so install a carbon filter before flowering starts.
- Watch for bud rot. Dense indica colas trap moisture, so keep late-flower humidity around 40–45% and thin crowded inner leaves.
- Use a Sea of Green. Blue Cheese's compact shape suits many small plants flipped early, which fills a tent fast.
- Support heavy branches. Side branches can bend under the weight of late buds; a trellis net or stakes keep them upright.
- Expect two plant shapes. Some Blue Cheese plants grow short and bushy, others taller and looser, so group similar plants under the same light.

Stanley Mira –
I respect this strain for its resistance to mold and pests. She has a famous cheese flavor, and once I use it, I get so calm that sometimes I fall asleep for the entire night. It also produces 300 grams! It also seems to live up to the hype. will definitely repurchase it!
Roger Coy –
I had to try this strain because I freakin love marijuana and I freakin love Blue Cheese, and I had to see for myself. It appears to live up to its reputation. This stuff has a strong odor of cheese! I’m glad I grew it outside because it would likely smell up the entire house, but it doesn’t matter, all it matters is the quality flavor that I kept coming back. I actually have Fantastic munchies on this herb, and I love to just make it myself cheese and crackers. I know it’s a cliche, but this was a fantastic purchase! I can’t wait to return for more!
Melissa Hayes –
I’ve tried growing Blue Cheese Fem both indoors and outdoors, and it seems to work well in both. But, someone’s not counting, I got my best harvest outside. I’d even recommend it to inexperienced gardeners. The seeds germinated without difficulty. In terms of this weed, I’d put it in a salad if I could because it’s fantastic. When I try to sleep because of racing thoughts, my cheese just smokes this out like a bee from a hive. I chose this strain because it can grow in relatively cool temperatures, saving me money on my electricity bill, yet it grew quickly and easily. I was pleased with the entire process.
Kathleen Young –
A very sticky bud! This stuff has a strong smell of blueberries. I recommend an indoor grow; I’ve been smoking for over ten years, and this weed is still an is somewhat too strong for me at times; at its best, though, it’s a savage and crazy high that inspires me to create all kinds of art. I use it also to prevent myself from anxiety attacks and stress. It was a fantastic experience to grow it!
Herbert Redman –
Blue Cheese is very satisfying to grow due to its mold and mildew resistance. I grew this discreetly aways my the sight of my neighbor. Nevertheless, she really grew healthy with the soil and the nutrients I used; she also yielded abundantly. She has an iconic cheese flavor, and when using this, I feel so relaxed that it sometimes leads me to a night of deep sleep.
Elizabeth White –
This strain became my new favorite because it has the classic cheese flavor that became a mood booster, soothes my muscles, and relaxes my body after a long day at work. It is easy to grow and produces abundant yields. I admire this strain for being mold, and pest resistant will surely buy it again!
