Kiss solves this by stabilizing those beloved Cheese traits into a forgiving, high-performance plant that delivers the iconic flavor alongside impressive resin production and heavy, dense buds.

How Kiss Saves You Time and Effort

This strain is designed for efficiency. Its genetics provide a fast flowering time indoors of just 7–8 weeks, getting you to harvest quicker than many other Cheese varieties.

Its inherent resistance to common pests and mold means you spend less time worrying about problems and more time enjoying the grow.

Kiss is remarkably forgiving, tolerating a range of conditions and minor grower mistakes. This resilience translates to consistent results, whether you're a beginner seeking a successful first harvest or an experienced grower looking for a dependable, high-yielding staple. You get the classic flavor without the classic headaches.

Simple Steps to Grow Kiss Without Wasting a Minute

Follow this straightforward guide for a successful Kiss harvest.

1. Germinate Safely: Start your seeds in a moist paper towel or directly in a light seedling mix at 22–25 °C (71.6–77 °F).
2. Establish Strong Roots: Once sprouted, transplant to a final pot of 11–20 L (2.9–5.3 gal). For a robust start, consider a root stimulator like Plagron Power Roots.
3. Guide Vegetative Growth: Maintain an 18/6 light cycle. Keep temperatures between 22–26 °C (71.6–78.8 °F) and humidity around 60–70%. The plant will show vigorous, bushy growth.
4. Initiate Flowering: Switch lights to a 12/12 cycle. Kiss will transition quickly, showing buds within 1–2 weeks.
5. Support Flowering: Lower humidity to 40–50% to protect dense buds. For enhanced bud development, a bloom booster like Green Planet Massive Bloom can be beneficial during peak weeks.
6. Harvest at Peak: Flowers are ready in 49–56 days. Look for milky trichomes with some amber for a balanced, relaxing effect.
7. Dry & Cure: Dry slowly at 18–22 °C (64.4–71.6 °F) and 50–60% RH for 10–14 days, then cure in jars for 2–4 weeks to perfect the flavor.

Tips to Integrate Kiss Into Your Garden Smoothly

For best results, use low-stress training (LST) or a SCROG net to maximize light penetration and yield from its bushy frame. It thrives in a well-aerated, nutrient-rich soil or coco coir substrate. Avoid overwatering, especially during flowering, and ensure good airflow around the canopy to leverage its natural resistance. Keep a carbon filter handy during late flowering, as the cheese aroma can be quite pronounced.

Personal Experience of Pevgrow’s CEO (Alan)

Kiss takes me right back to the late '90s. The moment you crack open a jar, that iconic, funky cheese smell hits you – it's the real deal, not a faint imitation. I've grown this strain several times, and its consistency is impressive. It doesn't stretch excessively after the flip, making it perfect for my indoor tent where space is premium. I like to give it a light LST early on to open up the canopy, and it rewards you with solid, resin-coated colas. The effect is exactly what I look for in an evening strain: a heavy, relaxing body melt that eases away tension without completely gluing you to the couch. For anyone chasing that classic Cheese flavor with modern grower-friendly traits, Kiss is a no-brainer. It's become a regular in my rotation for its reliability and that unmistakable, nostalgic punch.
