The Cough Strain Overview
The Cough is a sativa-dominant hybrid cannabis strain created by renowned breeder Kyle Kushman, who is also known for developing Strawberry Cough and other notable cultivars. This strain combines the genetics of Northern Lights #5, a legendary indica known for its potent effects and resinous buds, with Haze genetics, contributing to its sativa-dominant characteristics and uplifting properties. The strain earned its distinctive name from the harsh, throat-coating smoke that commonly triggers coughing fits even in experienced cannabis users, despite delivering balanced therapeutic effects. With THC levels ranging from 15-19%, The Cough provides energetic and uplifting sensations while maintaining subtle indica undertones from its Northern Lights heritage. The strain's complex terpene profile contributes to its unique sensory experience, featuring sweet citrus and pine flavors complemented by earthy hash undertones. Its spherical, dense buds display forest green coloring with burnt orange pistils and a heavy coating of frosty trichomes, giving the compact flowers their signature crystalline appearance.
