Strawberry Cough – A Legend Reborn
Strawberry Cough is a Sativa-dominant hybrid that has captivated cannabis enthusiasts for decades. Originally gifted to Kyle Kushman by an anonymous grower in the early 2000s, this strain became legendary as Kushman traveled across the United States, spreading its genetics from New York to California. Today, various seed banks offer their own versions, but all maintain the unmistakable berry aroma and uplifting effects that made it famous.
Genetics & Growing Characteristics
Strawberry Cough is a cross between Strawberry Fields x Haze, resulting in a 75% Sativa and 25% Indica hybrid. This combination delivers vigorous growth, a complex terpene profile, and a highly resinous structure ideal for extractions.
- Indoor height: 100–140 cm
- Outdoor height: 160–220 cm

- Yield: 400–500 g/m² indoors, 650–750 g per plant outdoors

This strain thrives in humid climates and is fast-flowering for a Sativa, making it an excellent choice for growers looking for a balance between yield and manageable growth.
