Despite being indica-dominant, Old School stretches in the first two weeks of flowering, increasing internodal spacing. Growers should monitor lighting distance carefully during this period to manage height. It thrives on a moderate feeding schedule—overfeeding should be avoided.

Yields are generous, with strong, resilient plants that produce compact, resinous buds perfect for both smoking and extraction.

It delivers a vintage profile that evokes memories of classic strains from the 1990s—bold, aromatic, and unforgettable. Terpenes like myrcene, caryophyllene, and linalool likely dominate, contributing to its sedative and aromatic qualities.
 
Strain Lineage:
 
Original UK Cheese brings its iconic skunky aroma and uplifting flavour, a UK cult favourite known for its pungency and euphoric effect.
 
Black Domina, a powerful Afghan indica from the late ’90s, adds weight, resin, and a deep physical stone.
 
Together, they create a strain that balances earthy heritage with skunky sweetness and heavy, long-lasting effects.
