Strawberry Cough by Royal Queen Seeds

Strawberry Cough Strain Info

The Strawberry Cough strain, popularized by the legendary Kyle Kushman, is a true classic in the cannabis world. This delightful sativa carries an intriguing backstory that dates back to the early 2000s. It all started when a mysterious grower in Connecticut gifted Kushman a clone known as "The Cough." Upon receiving it, Kyle was instantly captivated by its intense berry flavor. During his journey from New York to California in 2004, he distributed clones to growers across the country, cementing Strawberry Cough's status as a beloved strain.

This strain boasts impressive genetics, combining the best of Strawberry Fields and Haze. Strawberry Fields, originating from upstate New York, was cultivated among strawberry fields to mask its pungent aroma. Legend has it that the plants absorbed the sweet strawberry scent from their neighbors. With the indica traits of Strawberry Fields and the dominant sativa characteristics of Haze, Strawberry Cough delivers a powerful aroma and a 75% sativa profile.

Flowering Time & Yield

When it comes to growing, Strawberry Cough plants are robust and healthy, with dense foliage and strong lateral branches. Indoor plants can reach heights of 100-150 cm and yield up to 500 grams per square meter. Outdoors, these plants can soar to 2 meters, producing up to 650 grams each. The flowering period lasts 9-10 weeks, making early October the perfect time for outdoor harvests.

Effects and Aroma

Once you've harvested, dried, and cured your Strawberry Cough buds, you'll be greeted with a mouthwatering aroma of fresh strawberries, strawberry jam, and a hint of earthy Haze. This strain's high concentrations of myrcene, pinene, and caryophyllene, combined with a THC content of 20%, deliver an almost immediate cerebral high. Expect enhanced clarity, concentration, and sociability, making it ideal for daytime use, creative projects, or weekend sessions with friends.

Growing Tips & Personal Insights

When growing Strawberry Cough, it's important to consider a few key factors to ensure a successful harvest. This strain shows a remarkable resistance to pests and diseases, making it a reliable choice for both novice and experienced growers. It thrives best in a climate with long summers, so outdoor cultivation is ideal in regions with warm and sunny weather. However, it's also well-suited for indoor growing, where conditions can be more easily controlled.

We recommend starting your plants early in the season if growing outdoors to give them plenty of time to reach their full potential. Keep in mind that Strawberry Cough can double its size during the flowering phase, so be prepared for a growth spurt. This strain requires a moderate level of care, making it relatively easy to cultivate, especially with its natural resistance to common issues.

What really stands out to us about Strawberry Cough is its robust nature and the joyful experience it provides both in cultivation and consumption. The ease of growth combined with its uplifting effects makes it a favorite among growers and users alike.
