Not true. Farmerjoe has one but won’t trade. I don’t care if it’s the original original, as long as it’s a fat yielder and has an awesome stank and tastes like some cheesy funk and skunk, I’m happy

Well, then you are in luck.
There seems to be a couple of Cheese cuts making the rounds there.

Sweet! Glad to hear it. I’m just looking for something that’s super tasty from the skunk family
I bought it from a clone seller, but infected, and have been trying to save with a half dozen others that all died. Found this thread, wondering if worth taking cutting and trying to clone. If cutting has mold will not root.
Is it something great? Better than Chimera, Permanent Marker, Fatso, MAC1?

It’s definitely infected?
Have bought from 6 clone sellers in 2023, and all had some degree of fusarium contamination, from dying on arrival to developing stem canker in a week, to barely rooting and dying month or 2 later. Had tried tissue culture, but that multiplied the fusarium and white mold covered media in days.
Had six that were just living, that I was hoping to get enough new growth, clone and if they grew OK for awhile try tissue culture again. The UK cheese is only one still alive.
Was going to chuck it, then decided to do a search here to see if worth trying or just let it die. Don't think it is very strong from what I have read. Thinking not worth all the work.
Tissue culture from apical meristem takes forever, but should produce clean plant from even heavily fusarium or HLVD infected plant. The method I tried a few months ago was microcloning, and why they over ran with mold (the nutrients for plant also fed the mold that was healthier than the plants.
These gobshites use aero cloners to mass produce clones, and spread any diseases to each and every plant, every time the sprayers come on.
Just did a search, and only 2 clone sellers I found that had ir were the one that sent me the infected clone I have now, getseedsrifghthere, and the true scumbag mg1brands review who sends infected clones, then never returns an e-mail is his idea of customer service. Do not buy from anyone that does not take credit card or paypal.

That’s nuts. I only ever had slimy leaves from a clone dealer and that was because it was vacuum sealed. I took it in, quarantined it, sprayed it down with lost coast plant therapy, planted it the next day and fed it. I usually spray like 3 days in a row and get to feeding asap. Never had an issue personally. At least it wasn’t hlv

Use plenty of microbes and high quality nutrients
Once a plant has fusarium, nothing will save it. Works from bottom up and kills the stem above soil level and starves the top. Only chance is taking a cutting from top, and trying to clone, but it is a crap game, on whether the top is already infected.
Fusarium Wilt
The United States released this fungus in an area; it later had devastating effects on cannabis plants even after winter had passed it stayed in the soil. Seedlings that were planted were killed several years after the fungus was released. This fungus can be air borne and transmitted like other fungus and pathogens, it gets in through susceptible plants that have been wounded through environmental factors like animal attacks, pruning, LST (Low Stress Training), pest infestation and using cutting utensils that are not sanitary that may have fungus or bacteria on them. Fusarium wilt causes internal damage to vascular lines inside the plant and blocks the plants ability to carry water and nutrients. Symptoms included wilting of the plant, leaves becoming necrotic and yellowing wilting of the leaves while the yellowing leaves may look like a nutrient deficiency, this is clearly a mask, with Fusarium wilt, leaves will yellow and stay on the plant, where with a nitrogen deficiency the leaves will yellow and fall off. While not affecting the roots, it does affect inside the plant cell walls, inside the plants walls will reveal a red brown color inside the tissue. Stems will change color from normal green and purple hue, to a dark purple to blackish color. This pathogen can get confused with root rot, because the symptoms this pathogen shows are nearly the same as root rot, but roots are not affected. This clogging effect inside is what causes the external symptoms. While this fungus is traveling inside the plant, the toxins spread to uninfected areas and causing the clogging effect internally, these toxins is what causes the other un infected tissue to start to show the 2ndary problems, which are slow wilting of the leaves, stem collapse, stem discoloration and overall droopiness (as if the plant is dry and had no water) to parts of the plant, even if they get plenty of water. This fungus is a real killer to cannabis plants, any remaining plants that are survived can be stunted. Fusarium Wilt thrives in warm moist temperatures, which is why southern states have Fusarium Wilt the worst.
Prevent and Control
Fusarium Wilt is by far one of the hardest things for cannabis to overcome, if it ever does overcome it. Your plant health, environment and strain have a lot to do with weather or not Fusarium wilt will take over your plants. This pathogen mainly affects cannabis and hemp family, but can affect other plants but does not show the damaging effect it has on cannabis, like it does on other kinds of plants. This pathogen was breed specifically to attack wild cannabis plants and growers who grow there plants outdoors’. There is no form of organic control for this type, reason for this is, because the fungus is so strong and not susceptible to much of anything unless you get it right when it starts, if you do not get it in time, it thrives in the plants and consumes and kills the plants. There is only a few ways to control this fungus, one is to fumigate the area you are growing in killing the pathogen in the soil while it is dormant, so when you grow in this area again, your plants are much less likely to get it, the only other way your plants could get this if not from the soil, is from airborne spores get in through open wounds on your plants leaves, stems and stalks. Plants that produced seeds when it was infected with Fusarium wilt should not be used, as the pathogen stays dormant on the seed and attacks it when the seedling emerges and causing the “damping off” effect and thus killing the seedling before it even has a chance to grow it’s real first set of leaves. Acidic soil helps boost Fusarium wilt. Stay away from acidic soils .Counteract this by using dolomite lime, or green sand Using potassium and calcium enriched organic nutrients can help fight off and prevent Fusarium wilt, excessive amounts of nitrogen, phosphorus can speed up Fusarium wilt.
If your plant gets this it will surely die, the only thing you can do is try to reduce the destruction by foliar feeding areas that are not infected, cut off infected areas discard them away from your growing areas and treat the wound with h202 (Hydrogen Peroxide).
Making sure you clean your tools afterwards is important. Treating with fungicides will not work in controlling this.

Sorry to hear that. I stopped buying clones and started trading with good growers that know their shit. I also don’t do snips, the stuff that comes to me is rooted and healthy or I don’t bother. Hope you can save that cheese
