Blue Cheese X Ssh by Off Grid Seed Co
Blue Cheese × Super Silver Haze
Blue Cheese X Ssh By Off Grid Seed Co. is a hybrid cultivar developed by Off Grid Seed Co., aiming to combine the rich sensory profile of Blue Cheese with the invigorating clarity of Super Silver Haze. This cross seeks to offer a balanced experience, suitable for various consumption times.
Appearance
Flowers of this hybrid typically present as medium to large, often with spear-shaped colas influenced by its haze genetics, complemented by dense secondary buds from the cheese lineage. Pistils mature to shades of tangerine or copper against lime to forest green bracts. Cooler temperatures during late flowering may induce lavender to violet hues, particularly in phenotypes with strong Blueberry heritage. The buds are covered in a heavy, glassy layer of trichomes that often extends onto the surrounding sugar leaves.
Indoors, plants generally reach heights of 1.2 to 1.8 meters when trained, experiencing a significant stretch post-flip. Bud density is substantial, offering a balance that may enhance mold resistance compared to extremely dense indica varieties. The resin potential is high, making it suitable for extraction processes.
Aroma & Flavor
The aroma is complex, initially presenting sweet blueberry cheesecake and a distinct cheesy funk, followed by brighter notes of lemon zest, pine resin, and incense. Breaking apart the flower may reveal subtle metallic or peppery undertones. Grinding intensifies the profile, often releasing creamy, slightly sour cheese notes alongside skunky-citrus waves, with underlying woody and herbal facets.
On the palate, an inhale often features a creamy berry flavor layered with savory cheese, evolving into lemon, pine, and a sweet incense finish. The exhale may include a peppery sensation and a faint herbal bitterness. Phenotypes can shift this balance, with some leaning towards a more dessert-like berry cream and others offering zesty citrus and sandalwood notes.
Effects
This hybrid is noted for providing both cerebral uplift and a sense of body ease, aiming for a balanced experience. The influence of Super Silver Haze can contribute to a clear-headed effect, while the Blue Cheese component may offer a more grounding sensation. Depending on the specific phenotype, effects can range from more energetic and activity-friendly to more sedative in later stages.
Terpenes & Cannabinoids
The cannabinoid profile of Blue Cheese x SSH typically falls within the mid-to-high range for THC, generally testing between 15-25%, with minimal CBD content (<1%). The terpene profile is diverse, reflecting its parentage. Dominant terpenes often include Myrcene, Limonene, Caryophyllene, and Linalool, with contributions from Humulene and Terpinolene also reported.
Growing
Growers can expect flowering times around 9 to 10.5 weeks indoors, a result of combining the typical 8-9 weeks of Blue Cheese with the 9-11 weeks of Super Silver Haze. Yield potential is generally considered above average, benefiting from the SSH contribution, while bud density is enhanced by Blue Cheese. The plant structure can vary, with some phenotypes exhibiting longer internodal spacing and narrower leaflets characteristic of haze, while others are stockier with broader leaves.
This cultivar is attractive for its strong resin production, making it a good candidate for hash and rosin extraction. Attention to airflow is recommended due to potentially dense bud structures. Managing odor is advisable, especially in the later stages of flowering, due to the expressive aroma profile.
Origins & Lineage
Blue Cheese x SSH is a hybrid strain bred by Off Grid Seed Co. It is a cross between Blue Cheese, which itself is a combination of Blueberry and the UK Cheese cut, and Super Silver Haze, a renowned lineage often derived from Skunk 1, Northern Lights, and Haze genetics. This breeding effort aimed to merge the distinct characteristics of its parent strains.
