About Exodus Cheese

Exodus Cheese is the legendary indica-dominant Skunk #1 phenotype that originally emerged in the UK underground scene in 1988. In the Dutch wietexperiment, Hollandse Hoogtes stabilized and grew this iconic clone to provide a reliable, regulated version of the classic 'Cheese' profile. The buds are distinctively light green, slightly airy, and release a pungent, funky aroma of sharp cheddar cheese, musty earth, and sweet skunk. It was introduced to wietexperiment shops in late 2024, providing a nostalgic, deeply relaxing stone paired with a giggly, euphoric cerebral lift.
