Strawberry Cough Haze
Also known as: Strawberry Haze, Strawberry Cough Haze Hybrid
Strawberry Cough Haze Strain Overview
Strawberry Cough Haze is a sativa-dominant hybrid strain that represents a cross between the classic Strawberry Cough and a Haze variety, though the exact Haze parentage varies among different breeders' interpretations. This strain emerged in the early 2000s as breeders sought to combine the distinctive berry flavors of Strawberry Cough with the cerebral, energetic effects characteristic of Haze genetics. The resulting hybrid typically exhibits a 70:30 sativa-to-indica ratio, though this can vary depending on the specific phenotype and cultivation methods.
The strain is visually distinctive, featuring medium to large-sized buds with a dense, conical structure typical of Haze varieties. The flowers display a vibrant green coloration with occasional purple hues that emerge under cooler growing conditions, complemented by a generous coating of amber trichomes. Orange pistils weave through the buds, creating a striking visual contrast. The most notable characteristic is the powerful aroma that gives the strain its name—a sweet, ripe strawberry scent with earthy, floral undertones from the Haze lineage.
Strawberry Cough Haze has gained popularity among both recreational and medicinal users for its balanced effects and complex flavor profile. The strain is known for producing a clear-headed, uplifting experience that many users find conducive to creative activities and social situations. While the exact genetic lineage varies between breeders, most versions maintain the signature strawberry flavor that made the original Strawberry Cough famous, combined with the cerebral stimulation characteristic of Haze varieties. The strain has become particularly popular in regions with established cannabis cultures, though it remains less common than its parent strains in many markets.

Strawberry Cough Haze Strain Growing Information
Strawberry Cough Haze is considered a moderate-difficulty strain to cultivate, requiring more attention than beginner-friendly varieties but less than finicky landrace strains. The plants typically flower in 9-11 weeks indoors, with outdoor harvests occurring in late October in northern hemisphere climates. Indoor growers can expect yields of approximately 400-500 grams per square meter, while outdoor plants can produce 500-700 grams per plant under optimal conditions.
The strain thrives in both indoor and outdoor environments but prefers a Mediterranean-like climate with consistent temperatures and low humidity during flowering. Plants can reach heights of 150-200 cm indoors and up to 250 cm outdoors if not trained. Regular pruning and training techniques like topping or SCROG are recommended to manage height and improve light penetration. The strain is moderately resistant to common pests and molds but requires good air circulation, particularly during flowering when the dense buds can be susceptible to botrytis in humid conditions. Nutrient requirements are moderate, with a preference for slightly acidic soil (pH 6.0-6.5) and careful monitoring during flowering to prevent nutrient burn.
