Not an actual strain
Royal Cheese Auto is the autoflowering version of the legendary UK Cheese line — a strain bred in Britain for its notorious pungency and tranquil, munchy effect profile. RQS built their auto version by crossing Cheese into Royal Critical Auto, which contributed the short cycle and euphoric lift of a Cannabis Cup-winning autoflower. The result is a 50% indica, 30% sativa, 20% ruderalis split that preserves the skunky cheese aroma while cutting weeks off the timeline. For growers chasing Cheese character without the full photoperiod commitment, this is the cleanest shortcut RQS offers, and the phenotype expression stays close enough to the original UK Cheese that veteran growers recognize the lineage immediately.
Total cycle is 11-12 weeks from seed to harvest. Germinate using the paper-towel method for best results, transplant into 11-litre pots once the taproot reaches around 2cm, and run lights 24 hours on as soon as sprouts emerge from the soil — standard autoflower protocol, no tricks. By the end of week 2 plants will be around 10cm with their first true leaves; apply LST in week 3 if you want to keep height capped around 60cm for low-profile or stealth grows, or leave them untrained for a single dominant cola topping out at 100cm indoor or 120cm outdoor. During bloom expect a slight stretch and the development of dense, tapered colas. Thin the canopy weekly with pruning scissors so every bud gets direct light exposure, and consider dropping to an 18-6 schedule during flower to save energy without losing weight. Flush the final two weeks by withholding all nutrients. Indoor yields land at up to 475 g/m2, outdoor around 210 g/plant. For outdoor plants, place in a sunny spot and keep irrigation steady through dry stretches.
THC sits around 15% — moderate for a modern strain — and the effect profile leans warm and soothing rather than heavy. A relaxed body high that keeps the mind clear and sharp, followed reliably by serious munchies, makes this an evening smoke rather than a couchlock one. The aroma is pure old-school Cheese: skunky, pungent, unmistakably dairy-forward with pepper-forward notes from the beta-caryophyllene that dominates the terpene profile. Flavor carries through from nose to exhale, with the kind of funk that rewards dry-pipe smokers over joint smokers. A good pick for users who want classic UK cheese character at moderate potency and in a fast, forgiving autoflower package, and a solid rotation strain for growers who value consistent turnaround over peak potency.
