Hey everyone,
I’ve had quite the journey with this Grapefruit x Cheese breeding project, and I wanted to share the whole story. It started with some bag seeds I found in the best grapefruit weed I’ve ever smoked. Out of three seeds, I ended up with a beautiful male and female. The female smelled exactly like fresh, mouthwatering grapefruit the whole way through, and I thought I had stumbled on some kind of pure grapefruit line—maybe something like Professor P’s work.
Then came the harvest, and everything changed. That incredible grapefruit smell transformed into something shocking—rotten feet, smegma, and just straight-up funk. I had no idea what to make of it, so I asked my friends for their thoughts. Every single one of them said, “That’s Cheese!”
Here’s where I learned something new. I’d never smelled Cheese before, and when I admitted this to one of my homies, he was like, “Oh, so you don’t know cannabis like that, huh?” He explained that Cheese smells exactly like feet, and it clicked—this had to be a Grapefruit x Cheese cross, with a Cheese male pollinating the original grapefruit female.
At first, I thought I’d need to hit up a dispensary to grab a Blue Cheese joint to confirm, but then it hit me. The smell brought me back to some Blue Cheese weed I bought off Craigslist in 2017 or 2018. Back then, I didn’t think it was legit because, well, Craigslist. But now I realize it was the real deal—it had that same funky, foot-like smell.
Here’s where things get interesting. I had already started a breeding project with the male before realizing how bad the smell was after harvest. One male was fully used in a room packed with some of my top elite genetics. At first, I was almost mad at myself for doing this, but when I told my friends, they were hyped. Apparently, people love that funky Cheese smell, and they think this cross has insane potential.
I ended up cutting down both males after realizing what I was dealing with. One male had already busted a few nuts in another tent, but luckily there weren’t too many white hairs, so I don’t expect a ton of seeds there. In the first room, though, I’m looking at thousands of seeds from this Grapefruit x Cheese cross with some absolute bangers.
At first, I hated the smell, but now I’m starting to appreciate how unique it is, especially since so many people are excited about it. I’m calling these “Smegma Seeds” for now (lol), and while I’m still on the fence about taking this cross further, it’s clear there’s potential here for some seriously unique, stinky weed.
Have any of you ever had a strain bring back memories like this or second-guessed a strain, only to realize later it was legit? Let me know your thoughts!
Here is a YouTube video of some insights
Update: I’m smoking some right now and it smokes SUPER fire. I’m stoked on these crosses I’m making. The smoke definitely caught me by surprise it really smokes
