Few strains announce themselves like Cheese. The UK-bred classic built a cult following thanks to its unmistakably funky, sharp-cheddar aroma, and Royal Cheese Auto brings that pungency to a plant that flowers on its own and finishes fast.
Royal Queen Seeds crossed Cheese with their own award-winning Royal Critical Auto and ruderalis genetics. Cheese supplies the signature stink and tranquil body feel, while the Critical side adds speed, productivity and a euphoric spark. The final mix is 50% indica, 30% sativa and 20% ruderalis.
Plants grow to 2 to 3 feet (61–91 cm) indoors and 2 to 4 feet (61–122 cm) outdoors, depending on how much training you apply. The yields are the headline here: 15 to 17 oz/m² (425–482 g/m²) indoors under good lights, and 5 to 7 oz/plant (142–198 g/plant) per plant outdoors. From seed to harvest, the cycle takes 75 to 85 days (11 to 12 weeks), including 50 to 55 days (7 to 8 weeks) of bloom.
Be ready for the smell. By mid-flower, the tent fills with skunk, aged cheese and a dash of black pepper, so a reliable carbon filter is a must for discreet indoor grows.
Aroma, Flavor, and Effects of Royal Cheese Auto
The aroma comes from a mix of terpenes and pungent sulfur compounds that together create that famous skunky, cheesy funk. Beta-caryophyllene adds a peppery bite that cuts through the richness on the exhale. It is bold, savory and instantly recognizable.
With THC rated up to 15%, the high wraps the body in a warm, heavy calm while the head stays surprisingly clear. Waves of euphoria roll in early, followed by a solid appetite boost. It feels like settling into a leather armchair after a big dinner, content and unhurried.
Royal Cheese Auto is an evening companion: great for unwinding after work, slow conversations and late-night snacks.
Growing Royal Cheese Auto Seeds
Germinate with the paper towel method and move seeds into 11-liter (about 3-gallon) pots once the taproot reaches about 2 cm (0.8 inches). Run lights on 18/6 or 20/4 from emergence; there is no light switch needed to trigger bloom. Apply LST around week three if you want to hold plants near 60 cm (2 feet), or leave them untrained for one big central cola.
During flowering, the plant stretches slightly and builds dense, tapered colas. Thin the canopy weekly so buds see direct light, keep airflow strong, and flush during the last two weeks. Outdoors, give it a sunny spot and steady watering in dry climates; the short cycle allows multiple harvests in a single growing season.
