Blue Cheese by Barney's Farm

Blue Cheese, also known as Blueberry Cheese, brings together two strains that could hardly smell more different. Barney’s Farm crossed Original Cheese with Blueberry to create this 80% Indica / 20% Sativa feminized hybrid, rated at 26% THC.

The result is a sweet-and-savory classic: creamy blueberry on top, a tangy, pungent cheese finish underneath. It has been a favorite of indica lovers for years.

Blue Cheese is compact and easy to grow. Indoors it stays at 80–110 cm (31–43 in) and yields 500–600 g/m² (1.64–1.97 oz/ft²), while outdoor plants of 120–150 cm (47–59 in) can produce up to 800 g/plant (28.2 oz/plant).

Lineage: Original Cheese x Blueberry

Original Cheese, the famous UK Skunk phenotype, brings the loud, savory funk and a sturdy, productive frame. Blueberry adds fruity sweetness, creamy notes and its signature indica body feel. Barney’s Farm blended the two into a stable feminized line that keeps both personalities intact.

The 80% indica lean shows in the short stature, the strong side branches and the dense, resin-laden flowers. It is a plant built to carry heavy colas in a small space.

Aroma, Flavor and Effect

The aroma lists blue cheese, blueberry, earthy and pungent notes. Ripe blueberry rises first, then the sharp, tangy cheese funk takes over, backed by earth. It is a loud strain, and the smell is impossible to miss.

The flavor balances blueberry, cheese, creamy and sweet. The inhale is fruity and smooth, almost like a blueberry muffin, while the exhale leaves a savory, cheesy tang on the tongue. That sweet-savory contrast is what makes it so distinctive.

Barney’s Farm describes the effect as euphoric, deep relaxation, drowsy and hungry. A content, happy mood comes first, then a full-body heaviness spreads out. Expect the munchies to follow. It is an evening strain, made for nights with nowhere to be.

Growing Blue Cheese Indoors and Outdoors

Blue Cheese is easygoing and reliable, which makes it a solid choice for newer growers. Indoors, plants stay compact at 80–110 cm (31–43 in), perfect for small tents and discreet setups. Flowering takes only 60–65 days. Top once and train the strong side branches with LST to form several heavy colas.

The pungent aroma calls for a carbon filter from mid-flower onward. Dense buds also mean airflow matters, so keep a small fan running through the canopy and avoid high humidity in the last two weeks.

Outdoors, Blue Cheese reaches 120–150 cm (47–59 in) and can yield up to 800 g (28.2 oz) per plant. Harvest arrives in the first to second week of October in the Northern Hemisphere, early enough to beat the fall weather in many temperate regions.
