Origins & Lineage
Jah Hoover Cheese Bc1 is a hybrid strain from Jaws Gear, a breeder known for small-batch, high-terpene hybrids. The name signifies its parentage: a Jah Hoover line crossed with a Cheese backcross (Bc1), indicating the first filial generation where a selected hybrid was pollinated by one of its parents. This backcrossing process aims to stabilize and reinforce the desirable traits of the Cheese parent, particularly its pungent aroma and savory profile, while retaining the potency and resin density of the Jah Hoover line. The Cheese parent is a descendant of Skunk 1, popularized as Exodus Cheese, known for its unique aroma and finishing time.
