Strawberry Cough

The story of Strawberry Cough

Strawberry Cough has one of cannabis's most human origin stories. The clone-only original came from a Connecticut grower - researcher Jeff Cavanagh's account credits a man who bred it while battling serious brain injury - and it was Kyle Kushman who found the cut in New York, grew it out, and carried the name to fame. The berry flavour is real, the cough is real, and the story behind it is why the strain has such a loyal following decades later.

Terpene breakdown

• Myrcene: present but restrained - fruit body without heavy sedation.
• Limonene: bright strawberry-citrus top note.
• Caryophyllene: a subtle skunky spice keeping the fruit grounded.

The strawberry character is so distinctive that imitations are instantly obvious.

Growing Strawberry Cough

A 9 to 11 week sativa flower with lanky, stretchy growth and moderate yields. The strawberry aroma strengthens through flowering and cure. It tolerates cooler climates well for a sativa and rewards patience with a flavour that made it famous.

How to consume Strawberry Cough

Take one deep hit and prepare for the namesake cough - the chest expansion is part of the experience. The high arrives bright and giggly. Perfect for daytime socials, walks and anything that benefits from a good mood.

Strawberry Cough vs similar strains

Compared to classic Haze, Strawberry Cough is sweeter and friendlier with less intensity. Against Maui Wowie, it swaps tropical fruit for berry. And for sativa users who want the cough without the berry, Green Crack is the higher-octane alternative.
