They are generously coated in trichomes, indicating a rich cannabinoid and terpene content. The pistils often appear as a vibrant mix of burnt orange and gold.
Aroma & Flavor

Terpenes & Cannabinoids
Swiss Cheese typically contains THC levels between 18-22% and less than 1% CBD. Its terpene profile is dominated by myrcene, caryophyllene, and limonene, contributing to its characteristic aroma and flavor. Minor terpenes like pinene and linalool add further complexity. Trace amounts of other cannabinoids may also be present.
Growing
The strain is noted for a relatively quick flowering period of approximately 7-8 weeks. It is considered to have robust growth characteristics, stemming from its genetic background.
