Purple cheese is an interesting strain of marijuana because it is high in CBD. It is a well-balanced strain, and given the CBD percentage, it does not provide an overwhelming high.
While this is a great strain, it is one that is fairly difficult to find.
In this article, we will be talking through everything you need to know about purple cheese, from the potency and cannabinoids, to the taste and odor.
Potency
Being a hybrid, this strain has a well-balanced high. Given that it has high levels of CBD, the potency of this strain is not significant. The CBD balances out the THC, and allows a person to become a lot more relaxed.
However, using this strain can interfere with day to day use given that it is a sedative high. This is worth keeping in mind.
What Is Purple Cheese Strain?
Purple cheese is a hybrid strain that is perfectly balanced. It contains 50% sativa, and 50% indica. However, it is indica dominant. Due to its high levels of CBD, it is preferred by many people, especially those who enjoy the cheese flavor.
The overall THC percentage averages at around 16%. When looking at the CBD percentage, this is 4%. While this may seem like a low percentage, the vast majority of marijuana strains sit at less than one percent. This puts into perspective how high 4% is.
How Was Purple Cheese Developed?
Given that purple cheese is a hybrid, it is created using a mixture of different marijuana strains. There are three strains in particular that are used to create purple cheese — Blue cheese, Lowryder, and Purple. However, sometimes purple isn’t included.
Auto Seeds were the creators of purple cheese.
Taste
There are a few prominent flavors when it comes to the taste of purple cheese. As to be expected, notes of cheese can be tasted. The cheese taste can be likened to blue cheese in particular.
Even so, there are still some sweeter notes that can be tasted. Many people will describe the taste of fruity candy too. This is a fairly sweet taste overall, however, there are more savory notes, with the tangy flavor of the cheese coming through too.
Odor And Flavor
The odor of purple cheese is not too overpowering. While there is a faint smell of cheese when the nugs are broken apart, it is a fairly pleasant aroma. The main odor that can be smelled is the fruit undertones, which are reminiscent of berries.
While the smell is pleasant, and can be fairly pungent, it is pleasant, rather than overpowering. When the nugs are broken apart, you will be able to smell the earthy flavors coming through too.

Grow Info
