Nirvana
This Swiss Miss/Cheese hybrid is a robust grower and a fast
finisher, delivering a heavy eyedroop stone in a deep skunky
package. Swiss Cheese is a mostly indica hybrid of Nirvana’s
former Swiss Miss and the hot UK Cheese. The Swiss Miss,
originally bred in the Swiss Alps, is a mix of very earlyfinishing
Swiss Skunk and a robust strain from Nepal. Here, Swiss Miss
serves as the father, adding some old-school flavor and hardy
tolerance to Nirvana’s acquired Cheese variant. The Cheese
mother clone was snuck into Amsterdam and Nirvana’s hands
from England in 2007. It is a curious Skunk #1 phenotype from
the Birmingham area that has gained a lot of fans in the UK.
Swiss Cheese is a healthy and vigorous plant that grows thick
and tight with a compact take on the traditional cannabis plant
structure. The leaves are thick and dark, and the buds are also
a deep jade with moderate red hairs. This is a sturdy, beginnerfriendly variety that is recommended for soil-based sea of green systems due to its minimal branching. The tight cola
formations on these plants stink from the first flowers on. All
plants appreciate perfect conditions, but Swiss Cheese is pretty
flexible, handling low night temperatures without complaint,
resisting mold infestations, and forgiving minor
miscalculations. Swiss Cheese plants stay average in size,
doubling after forcing to reach a final size of 5–6.5 feet (1.5–2
meters). They are a manageable size for smaller closet or
hobby gardens. She is also fast to finish, taking only 6–7 weeks
of flowering to reach maturity. The speedy cycle makes Swiss
Cheese a great outdoor choice. She finishes by the beginning of
September when planted in May.
Once dried, Swiss Cheese buds are dark and hard with a
twist on typical skunk aromas. The mix of earthy skunk
pungency with old school musk and a hint of sweet candy has
an edge that makes it unique. This is a Mack truck buzz, a
heavy fast-onset stone that may not be sedative, but will
definitely slow things down and give smokers a stereotypical
eyedroop. Most people will probably lose the urge to exert
much energy after smoking this strain and be content to watch
sports or movies, or engage in some other undemanding
pastime, but some may be more into mellow open-ended
recreation like a leisurely hike or even a jog. The body
relaxation of this new 2009 strain offers an interesting flavor
choice for those looking for physical relief or sedative effects.
