Cough
Also known as: Coughing, Coughing Weed
Cough Strain Overview
Cough is a classic cannabis strain with a storied history, believed to have originated in the Pacific Northwest region of the United States during the 1990s. It is often associated with the legendary breeder Steve from Spice of Life Seeds, though its exact origins remain somewhat debated among cannabis historians. The strain gained its distinctive name from the pronounced, lung-expanding sensation it produces when inhaled, often causing even experienced users to cough. This effect is attributed to its unique terpene profile and potent resin production.
Visually, Cough typically presents with dense, conical buds that are light to medium green in color, often accented with vibrant orange pistils and a generous coating of frosty trichomes. The buds are known for their sticky resinous texture and compact structure. The strain has maintained a cult following over the decades due to its balanced effects and distinctive flavor profile, though it is considered somewhat rare in modern commercial markets compared to more recently developed hybrids.
Notable features include its relatively short flowering time and resilience during cultivation, making it a favorite among certain growers despite not being as widely available as mainstream commercial strains. Its legacy persists in breeding programs, where it has been used to develop other notable varieties, contributing its unique sensory characteristics and robust growth traits to subsequent generations.

Cough Strain Growing Information
Cough is considered a moderate-difficulty strain to cultivate, suitable for growers with some experience. It has a flowering time of approximately 8-9 weeks when grown indoors. Outdoor plants are typically ready for harvest in late September to early October in the Northern Hemisphere. The strain prefers a temperate climate with consistent temperatures and low humidity to prevent mold, given its dense bud structure.
Indoor yields are moderate, averaging around 400-500 grams per square meter under optimal conditions. Outdoor plants can produce 500-600 grams per plant. The plant tends to grow to a medium height, usually between 1.2 to 1.5 meters, with a bushy structure that may require some training or pruning to improve light penetration and airflow. It responds well to both soil and hydroponic growing methods. Special considerations include maintaining good ventilation to manage its potent aroma during flowering and monitoring for pests, as its resinous buds can attract insects.
