Cheese Quake

Cheese Quake is an indica-leaning hybrid from TGA Subcool Seeds that crosses the UK-derived Cheese with TGA's grape-forward Querkle. The release brought the famously pungent Cheese profile into the American boutique-breeding era, softening its sharp funk with sweet berry and grape tones. It circulated steadily through the 2010s and remains one of the more distinctive entries in the TGA catalog.

Profile

Flowers are typically medium-sized and moderately dense, with olive-green calyxes that frequently show purple shading inherited from the Querkle side, plus amber pistils and a trichome coat generally reported as moderate to heavy. The aroma commonly opens with tangy, creamy funk from the Cheese parent, layered over sweet grape and berry with a mild earthy base. Flavor on the exhale is generally described as sour-cream tang giving way to fruit sweetness. Caryophyllene, myrcene, and linalool are among the terpenes most frequently reported in lab results for this cultivar.

Reported effects

Consumers commonly report a relaxed, comfortable body state arriving within the first stretch of a session, paired with an amiable, lightly lifted mood. Some consumers commonly report a slow drift toward stillness in longer sessions. Reported experiences vary considerably with individual tolerance, product selection, and consumption method, and these descriptions do not represent medical or therapeutic outcomes.

Cultivation notes

Growers typically report a flowering period of about 8 weeks, with medium height, sturdy branching, and a structure that handles training well. The cultivar is generally described as consistent from seed by TGA-era standards, though phenotypes split between funk-dominant and grape-dominant expressions. Cool late-flower nights are commonly reported to deepen purple coloration, and yields are generally described as moderate to above average.
