All About Strawberry Cough Cannabis Strain
Is there something better than the weed that smells like strawberries? There is! Strawberry Cough smells like strawberries and alleviates stress. It’s the kind of strain that leaves you with a huge smile on your face and a relaxed mood for hours to follow.
The story behind Strawberry Cough is funny: this favored strain was made by accident by a famous breeder Kyle Kushman. A fellow breeder gave Kushman a clone, which was grown in Connecticut. The funny part is that it grew next to strawberries, and it got their powerful scent. Kyle Kushman’s Strawberry Cough creation won the Best Flower award in the Cannabis Cup of 2013.
Strawberry Cough genetics are interesting. The strain comes from the classic Haze strain and Strawberry Fields (an Indica-dominant strain grown in-between strawberries). Strawberry Cough is 100% of Sativa in its genetics. It’s not enough to completely calm down the energizing effects of Sativa. The strain contains 17-20% THC.

Whats best to smoke this strain ? Bong or simple pipe will do ? Thanks for your help …. awaiting anxiously to harvest my plant . Cheers
For some reason this strain did not produce the effects everyone has been describing. Either I got a bad batch or everyone is insane. Put it simply. This strain sucks. Dont waste your time in something thats advertised to be amazing but is just a dud. Nowhere near the price I paid for this trash.

I prefer Sativa over Indica strains and that’s why Strawberry and similar strains work the best for me. Also, the strawberry flavor and smell that fills the room from the moment you light it up are really amazing. Highly recommended.
