Purple Cheese

Purple Cheese is flower named for an autoflowering three-way cross of Purple #1, Blue Cheese and Lowryder. Leafly and AllBud give the same three parents, and Leafly credits the breeder Auto Seeds.

Auto Seeds and a sweeter take on Blue Cheese

Leafly says Auto Seeds bred it to taste sweeter and less cheesy than its Blue Cheese parent. AllBud repeats a legend that it was bred to bring autoflowering traits and a more enticing flavour to Blue Cheese. Leafly describes an indica-dominant autoflowering hybrid and gives Purple Cheese Auto as another name, while AllBud’s text calls it an autoflowering indica dominant hybrid. Labels like those are unpacked in our indica, sativa and hybrid guide.

Compact buds, purple hues and a 50 to 80 cm plant

Compact, tightly structured buds are what Leafly describes. For growers, its notes say colder climates bring out the purple hues and that the autoflowering plant should be kept between 50 and 80 cm tall. AllBud pictures nugs shaped like spades, with deep purple undertones and pale lavender hairs, and one Leafly reviewer reports many crystals and caramel-coloured hairs.

Cheese, fruit and candy

Cheese, blue cheese and skunk are Leafly’s flavour tags, and its text describes a palatable fruit aroma. Reviewers on Leafly report a strong cheese smell and taste. One calls the cheese smell milder and less funky than Blue Cheese, with an herbal flavour and a nutty finish.

AllBud describes a sweet, fruity candy flavour with strong, musky cheese overtones, and a fairly mild aroma of sweet, pungent blue cheese with a touch of fruity berry. Its flavour tags are candy, cheesy, fruity, sweet and tea. An AllBud reviewer calls the smell very potent, adding that it seeps out of any jar; our weed storage guide covers how to store weed and keep it fresh.

Myrcene first, and 20% THC on Leafly

Myrcene (herbal) leads the terpenes in Leafly’s certified lab data, with pinene and caryophyllene behind it. The THC figure on Leafly is 20%, next to 0% CBD, and the potency gauge reads higher than average.

Relaxed and happy, with a euphoric start

Leafly describes powerful full-body effects, and its reviewers tag relaxed and happy above all. They also tag hungry, uplifted, talkative, euphoric, giggly, creative and energetic. AllBud describes an onset that is euphoric and uplifting, leaving a relaxed feeling, and tags euphoria, happy, relaxing and uplifting. Leafly rates the strain 4.2 from 89 ratings, and AllBud 4.1 from 7 votes and 4 reviews.
