Strawberry Cheesecake

Strawberry Cheesecake is flower whose name matches a strain with an indica label on Leafly and an indica-dominant hybrid label on AllBud, where it is rated 70% indica and 30% sativa. AllBud knows it best for a distinct creamy strawberry cheesecake taste and a very sweet, creamy berry smell.

The parent strains behind Strawberry Cheesecake

On Leafly the story is generations of backcrossing Purple Panty Dropper with a Forum cut of GSC, and the genetics section names GSC and Purple Panty Dropper as parents. AllBud’s entry is a three-way cross of White Widow, Chronic and Cheese.

Two AllBud reviewers from 2019 write about growing the Heavyweight Seeds version: one describes a fruity-cheese smell with a fuel edge, the other a tropical-fruit smell.

Small, dense, pebble-shaped buds

On AllBud the buds are small, round and dense, pebble-shaped and forest green, with dark olive leaves and fiery orange hairs under frosty white trichomes. Leafly reviewers describe nugs that are dark, almost black in places.

Strawberry, cream and a cheesy edge

Leafly’s text describes a sweet, creamy taste with berry undertones, and its flavour tags are cheese, strawberry and butter. Its reviewers describe a very sweet, creamy berry smell with a cheesy, buttery edge, a strawberry flavour with cheese on the exhale, or cream and strawberries with a gassy note.

AllBud tags the flavour berry, cheesy, creamy, strawberry and sweet, and the aroma cheese, earthy, fruity, pungent and sweet. AllBud reviewers mention a fruity or strawberry smell.

A fast, smooth onset and light euphoria

AllBud describes a smooth, fast onset with light euphoria, an uplifted feeling and a slight cerebral energy and motivation. Its users tag body high, euphoria, focus, happy and relaxing, and some reviewers call it mellow.

Relaxed and happy lead the reviewer tags on Leafly, followed by creative, euphoric, hungry, focused, giggly and uplifted. Leafly’s text pairs body effects with creative energy.

28% THC on Leafly, 22% on AllBud

Leafly lists 28% THC and 0% CBD, and the potency scale on that page rates the THC above average. AllBud’s are up to 22% THC and about 2% CBD, with a note that higher readings have been recorded.

Terpene-wise, Leafly puts limonene in front, caryophyllene second and pinene third, and our limonene guide explains the leader. Scores are 4.5 from 285 Leafly ratings and 4.6 from 21 AllBud votes with 14 reviews.

On pacing, Health Canada‘s smoking and vaping page begins with a pair of puffs at 10% THC or less, then leaves up to half an hour for the full effect to reach its height. Leafly’s 28% figure for the strain sits well above that 10% mark.
