Delhi Cheese is a modern, autoflowering variety developed by crossing Critical Impact with Ruderalis. Origins of the strain remain largely undocumented, and there is no verified information regarding its specific breeder or development history beyond its genetic components. As an autoflowering cultivar, it is engineered for accessible cultivation, requiring an 84-day flowering period. Growers typically find the strain easy to manage in both indoor and outdoor environments, though it is noted to produce a low yield.
The terpene profile for Delhi Cheese is led by caryophyllene, followed by myrcene, terpinolene, pinene, limonene, camphene, beta-pinene, linalool, nerolidol, humulene, ocimene, caryophyllene-oxide, guaiol, and bisabolol. This complex array suggests a multidimensional aromatic experience, with the dominance of caryophyllene likely providing spicy, peppery undertones while the supporting myrcene and terpinolene contribute herbaceous and floral nuances. The subtle layering of the remaining terpenes, from pinene to bisabolol, results in a bouquet that is likely characterized by earthy and woody notes typical of its lineage.
As a THC-dominant strain, Delhi Cheese is sought after for its ability to produce relaxed, happy, and uplifted effects. These characteristics make it a functional choice for individuals addressing stress and pain, while its relaxing properties are often utilized to improve sleep. Currently, there are no recorded offspring associated with this variety, marking it as a distinct entry in the modern autoflowering landscape.

Effects
Reported effects — derived from terpene chemistry and cannabinoid profile.
relaxed
eveningPrimary endpoint of myrcene+linalool sedating combinations; GABA modulation is the dominant mechanistic driver.
