Cough BX1
Cough BX1
Also known as: Fort Collins Cough BX1, Colorado Cough BX1
Overview
Cough BX1 is a sophisticated backcross created by Professor P of Dynasty Genetics/Relic Seeds, representing a continuation of the legendary Fort Collins Cough lineage. This strain is a cross between the original Cough (NL5/Haze) and Consumption #2 (which itself is Cough x Triangle Kush x NL5/Haze). The original Cough, also known as Fort Collins Cough or Colorado Cough, emerged from Colorado State University dorms in the late 1990s and gained legendary status throughout Colorado's cannabis scene. It is bred from Northern Lights #5 and Haze genetics, creating a distinctive terpene-forward profile known for its throat-tickling properties that give the strain its characteristic name.
Cough BX1 represents Professor P's genetic preservation efforts through his Relic Seeds project, aimed at maintaining heirloom genetics that were at risk of being lost. The backcross methodology used in creating BX1 involves crossing offspring back to one of the original parents to intensify specific desirable traits - in this case, amplifying the classic Cough characteristics while incorporating the depth brought by the Triangle Kush genetics from the Consumption line. This breeding technique results in a strain that maintains the cerebral, uplifting effects of the original Haze-influenced parent while adding complexity from the indica contributions.

Growing Information
Cough BX1 exhibits sativa-dominant growth characteristics, requiring 10-12 weeks of flowering time for optimal development. Plants tend to stretch significantly during flower, often requiring support structures or training techniques like SCROG. The strain shows moderate to high yields when grown properly, with dense colas developing over the extended flowering period. Indoor cultivation is recommended for better environmental control, though outdoor growing is possible in suitable climates. Plants can reach medium to tall heights and benefit from organic growing methods. Due to the extended flowering time and vigorous growth, this strain is better suited for intermediate to experienced growers. Strong odor control is essential as the strain produces very pungent aromas throughout the growing cycle.
