What is the Fort Collins Cough strain?

Fort Collins Cough is a hybrid cannabis strain with up to 25.0% THC, known for its energetic effects and citrus and earthy flavor profile.

Fort Collins Cough, also known as Colorado Cough, is a sativa dominant hybrid strain (70% sativa/30% indica) created through crossing the iconic Northern Lights #5 X Haze strains. This strain is widely associated with the Northern Colorado town of Fort Collins and was reportedly created in the 1990s by two women growers from Colorado State University. The origin is thought to be an original Super Sativa Seed Club (pre-cursor to Sensi Seeds) NL #5 x Haze #17. While the exact breeder attribution is not publicly confirmed, the strain's reputation grew through word of mouth and caregiver networks before broader commercialization, typical of pre-legalization Colorado genetics where provenance often traveled with clones rather than documented pedigrees. The strain is named for its thick smoke that expands the lungs and often causes consumers to cough. Fort Collins Cough buds have tapered conical blue-green nugs with sparse thin orange hairs and blue-tinted white crystal trichomes. This cultivar has gained recognition as a clone-only strain, making it difficult for cultivators to acquire.
