Cheddar Cheeze Seeds from the CakeMints and Gorilla Diesel #3 Cross

Cheddar Cheeze comes from crossing CakeMints, a Platinum GSC selection out of the Cookies family, with Gorilla Diesel #3, a heavy and solvent-sharp indica line. The savoury character the strain is named for is emergent rather than inherited whole from either parent, which is the more interesting thing about this cross: neither CakeMints nor Gorilla Diesel #3 smells like aged cheese on its own, and the funk only appears once the two lines are combined.

What each parent contributes is easy to separate once you know to look for it. The Gorilla Diesel #3 side owns the opening, delivering the sharp umami and faint petrol note that fills a room the moment a jar is opened, along with the myrcene load that gives the effect its physical weight. The CakeMints side owns the finish, bringing the dense trichome coverage and tight calyx structure that Platinum GSC selections are known for, the subtle purple that appears in cooler late flower, and the buttery, faintly minty sweetness that lands after the savoury inhale has cleared.

The terpene reading matches the parentage rather than contradicting it. Myrcene sits at the front with limonene close behind and linalool filling in underneath, which is why the effect opens bright and conversational before turning heavier. At 18-21% THC and roughly 0.5% CBD, this is a hybrid where the aroma, not the number on the label, is the reason people keep it in rotation.

Flowering runs 9-10 weeks. The buds cure into something genuinely distinctive on a shelf, and the savoury front note softens over a longer cure while the sweeter CakeMints character comes forward.
