What is the Strawberry Cough strain?

Strawberry Cough is a hybrid cannabis strain with up to 29.0% THC, known for its euphoric effects and berry and earthy flavor profile.

Strawberry Cough is an iconic sativa-dominant hybrid strain renowned for its distinctive sweet strawberry flavor and aroma that gave rise to its memorable name. The strain was popularized by Kyle Kushman, a former High Times cultivation editor, who first discovered it in a Connecticut grower's basement in the late 1990s. After being captivated by its fresh strawberry scent, Kushman began distributing clones throughout New York before eventually bringing the strain to California's West Coast. The strain won Best Flower at the 2013 Cannabis Cup, cementing its place in cannabis history.

With a genetic composition of approximately 80% sativa and 20% indica, Strawberry Cough exhibits the tall, lanky growth characteristics typical of sativa strains while maintaining some indica influence for added robustness. The buds are visually striking, featuring vibrant green coloration with fiery orange pistils woven throughout, all covered in a dense coating of crystalline trichomes that give them a frosted appearance. The strain's most defining characteristic is its unmistakable strawberry aroma and flavor, which remains prominent from the initial scent through to the exhale. This unique sensory profile is complemented by subtle undertones of pine, spice, and earthiness inherited from its Haze genetics.

How do you grow Strawberry Cough?

Strawberry Cough is considered moderately challenging to grow with a flowering time of 9-11 weeks. The strain is well-suited for both indoor and outdoor cultivation, though it thrives best in warm, Mediterranean-like climates with plenty of sunlight. As a sativa-dominant plant, it can grow quite tall (4-7 feet indoors, even taller outdoors), requiring techniques like topping, LST, or SCROG to manage height, especially in indoor setups. Indoor yields typically range from 14-15 ounces per square meter (550-600g/m²) under optimal conditions. The strain is relatively resilient, showing good resistance to pests and mold, making it suitable for novice growers despite its height challenges. It prefers organic nutrients and well-draining soil, requiring good airflow to prevent mold in its fluffy buds. Outdoor growers can expect harvest around late October in the Northern Hemisphere.
