Milo Yung leaves behind a legacy that will continue to shape the cannabis industry for years to come. Yung was a pioneer in the seed bank world, creating strains that have become household names among growers and enthusiasts alike. One of his most notable accomplishments was developing the seed version of the legendary Cheese clone, which has since become one of the most sought-after strains in the world.
The Story Of Big Buddha Seeds
Yung devoted himself to preserving and enhancing genetics, earning him a place in cannabis history. According to legend, Milo acquired the fabled Exodus cheese cutting in 2002. He used a high-yielding Afghani male from his collection to cross with the female Cheese clone. The Afghani was first imported to the UK during the 1980s. Milo accumulated a number of these seeds, nurtured their development, and then hand-selected a particularly robust male. After five generations of selective breeding, Milo finally had a version of Cheese that was a near-perfect replica of the original Exodus cut. In 2005 Big Buddha Seeds introduced the first commercially available stabilized Cheese seed. This was a game-changer for the cannabis industry, as it allowed growers to cultivate Cheese with greater ease and consistency.

In 2006, Big Buddha Cheese won the High Times Cannabis Cup for Best Indica, cementing its place as one of the most beloved strains in the world.
