Cheesy Auto by Philosopher Seeds – True UK Cheese Autoflowering Strain

Cheesy Auto by Philosopher Seeds brings the iconic UK Cheese genetics into a compact, fast-finishing autoflower that delivers rich flavor, solid potency, and impressive resin production with minimal effort.

Still stuck with weak, flavorless autos?

You’ve tried other autoflowering strains that promised big flavor but delivered hay-like smoke and limp buds. They barely smell, barely stick, and barely get you there. You’re left wondering if you’re just supposed to settle for less.

It’s frustrating when your grow doesn’t reward you with that deep, pungent cheese punch you’re chasing. You waste time, space, and nutrients on plants that don’t deliver — especially when you’re counting on discretion, speed, and quality all at once.

Cheesy Auto is your upgrade. Bred from the elite UK Exodus Cheese clone and refined over seven generations, this autoflower doesn’t compromise. It hits fast, smells loud, and produces dense, trichome-covered buds in under three months — no photoperiod tricks needed.

Why Cheesy Auto outshines your current strain

This isn’t just another cheesy-sounding name slapped on a basic auto. Cheesy Auto actually tastes and feels like the real deal. It grows compact and sturdy, perfect for small spaces or stealth grows, yet still pushes out serious yields. Indoors or out, it adapts fast and finishes faster — all while blanketing your senses with that unmistakable cheesy-sweet aroma.

Safe start: germinate in final 18–27 L pot to avoid stress. For a faster root kick, Clonex Rooting Hormone Gel boosts early development.

• Start seeds at 22–25 °C with high humidity.
• Transplant only if necessary — autos hate root disturbance.
• Use airy, well-draining soil or coco mix.
• Water lightly at first — overwatering kills seedlings.
• Apply beneficial microbes like Bactofil bacillus and bacteria stimulate roots | Agrobacterias for stronger roots.

Directed growth: keep 18–20 h light daily. Support early branching with gentle LST.

• Use 18/4 or 20/4 light cycle for maximum growth.
• Feed lightly — autos don’t need heavy nutrients.
• Train with low-stress techniques, not pruning.
• Ensure good airflow to prevent humidity buildup.
• Boost terpene production with Tasty Terpenes ( Nirvana ) Advanced Nutrients.

Efficient flowering: starts automatically — focus on RH, ventilation, and PK boost.

• Lower humidity to 40–50% to avoid mold.
• Support heavy buds with soft ties if needed.
• Use a PK booster like Super PK APTUS in week 3–4 of bloom.
• Watch trichomes: harvest when milky with slight amber for balanced effect.
• Flush 7–10 days before harvest for cleaner smoke.

Personal Experience of Pevgrow’s CEO (Alan)

I’ve grown a lot of Cheese phenotypes over the years — some true to name, most not. Cheesy Auto? It’s the real deal. I first tried it in a small indoor tent under 20/4 lighting, and within 11 weeks I had dense, frosty buds that smelled like a dairy farm in the best way possible. I’ve since grown it outdoors in spring and summer, and it adapts like a champ. No stretch, no mold issues, and the high is smooth — not too heavy, not too spacey. I use it when I want to stay creative but unwind at the same time. If you’re chasing that classic Cheese experience without the 5-month wait, this is your strain. I’d recommend it to anyone from newbies to resin hunters.
