Appearance

The resin production is particularly notable, with visible trichome coverage that hints at the strain’s strong extraction potential. The plant’s overall appearance is a perfect visual balance of its classic and contemporary genetics.
Aroma and Flavour Profile
The aroma of Cheese x Grape Sunshine seeds is bold and layered, combining the pungent, musky skunk notes of UK Cheese with the sweet grape, tropical fruit, and citrus brightness of Grape Sunshine. The result is a complex scent that is both sharp and sweet, with underlying earthy tones adding depth. On the palate, the flavor mirrors the nose with an initial hit of savory skunk complemented by waves of juicy grape and a candy-like tropical finish. This dynamic profile makes it appealing for both flower connoisseurs and extractors chasing rare terpene combinations.
Genetic Lineage
Cheese x Grape Sunshine seeds are built on a foundation of classic and modern cannabis breeding excellence. The UK Cheese parent is a clone-only selection from Skunk #1, famous for its unmistakable funk and enduring popularity. Grape Sunshine, a proven hash-washing champion with up to 9% whole plant fresh frozen returns, is a cross of Secret Lemon (Lemon Peel x Moonbow) and Tallymon (Banana OG x Dosidos) x Papaya. By combining these two, Commonwealth Seed Co has created a hybrid that elevates Cheese’s aroma with enhanced resin production, fruit-driven sweetness, and greater processing potential.
