Strawberry Cough

Background

Strawberry Cough, first popularized by Kyle Kushman during his relocation from New York to California in the 2000s, is a classic cannabis strain loved for its uplifting high and sweet strawberry aromas. Originating from a mix of Haze and Strawberry Fields genetics, this strain boasts a notable berry scent, passed down from Strawberry Fields which was grown among strawberry plantations to camouflage its smell. Kyle Kushman distributed clones of Strawberry Cough across the states during his move, marking the start of its widespread popularity.

Growth and Effects

When grown, Strawberry Cough plants develop a potent aroma of strawberries and earthy undertones, attributable to its terpene profile rich in myrcene, pinene, and caryophyllene, and a THC level of 20%. This sativa-dominant strain (75% sativa) is famous for inducing a clear-headed, focused, and social buzz, making it perfect for daytime use. Its cultivation yields stout plants with strong side branches, requiring ample space to accommodate growth, especially during its bloom phase. Indoors, plants can reach up to 150cm and yield up to 500g/m² within 9–10 weeks, while outdoor plants can grow up to 200cm and produce up to 650g each by early October.
