I was given what was meant to be some original UK cheese clones from a mate who claimed to have had the plant in his family for 10 years, i have no reason not the believe the lad. I also started big buddhas cheese at the same time. The plants look totally different & they dont really smell like each other either. The UK cheese stinks! The plants were just under average height, i topped both versions out at 8" & all 5 BB cheese (started from female seeds) were bigger than the UK cheese. The UK has lots of 3 bladed leafs that afe very short & fat, i would say they look mor afghani than indica, whilst the BB has your average 5 bladed indica type leafs. The UK was ready 1st. Ive been drying for 11 days & its almost ready to try before i jar it, it has already started to stink, its a very strong skunky smell. it can even be smelt over the smell of a drying trainwreck plant if you are stood in front of it & the UK is a foot away! I can tell that its going to be nice, i just hope it is the UIK cheese!
The BB cheese produces a lot bigger plants, they also look atleast a 1/3 bigger yield. They dont look as nice either (the fan leafs on the UK have turned orange) & the smell is average & without the "special" smell you expect to get with cheese.
I know its hard to tell what a plant is without smoking it & seeing it in person, but if anyone has grown the original cheese does it frow 3 bladed leafs & is not very big but stinks?
