About Cheese Quake

Cheese Quake is a hybrid that crosses Cheese with Querkle. It is associated with TGA Subcool Seeds, a breeder known for colorful, flavorful strains, and it has been found on dispensary menus in several US legal markets. You may also see it listed as Cheesequake.

The aroma blends the savory, funky tang of Cheese with sweet berry and grape notes from Querkle, over an earthy base. Buds are usually dense and medium sized, with green and purple hues and a sticky layer of trichomes. Myrcene often adds an earthy, musky depth, caryophyllene can bring a spicy warmth, and limonene may give the fruit a brighter edge.

Cheese Quake is commonly described as relaxed, happy and euphoric. People often choose it in the late afternoon or evening, when they want a calm body feel with a cheerful mood. THC usually ranges from 15% to 20%, with little CBD, which is moderate by modern standards.

Its moderate potency can make Cheese Quake a comfortable choice for many consumers, including those who like funky flavors. Start low, go slow, and check the lab results on the package before you buy. Use WhereLeaf to find Cheese Quake at licensed dispensaries and delivery services near you.
