Queso is a hybrid cultivar bred by 3rd Coast Genetics from Pure Michigan and UK Cheese. It appears in state compliance flower testing across 2 US markets (FL NV) between 2021 and 2024. Photoperiod cuts typically finish flowering in 8–10 weeks (~56–70 days) under indoor or greenhouse lighting.

Aroma and flavor

Jars of Queso are most often described as showing tangy blue-cheese funk, earthy, soil-like depth, dry cedar and wood and bright citrus zest. Across state lab terpene panels, bright, citrus-forward limonene, peppery beta-caryophyllene and floral, lavender-like linalool most frequently test at the top of the profile, though cure quality and phenotype selection shape how loudly each note comes through.

Reported effects

Consumers commonly report a lifted, positive outlook, a sociable, talkative ease and an upbeat, cheerful mood, making Queso a frequent pick for late-afternoon or flexible social and evening use. The most commonly noted downsides are dry mouth and nervousness if overconsumed.
