Strawberry Cough strain

Strawberry Cough is a sativa-labelled or sativa-dominant strain commonly listed as Haze × Strawberry Fields, although its original breeder and exact pedigree are disputed.1,2,3,4 Accounts consistently credit Kyle Kushman with popularising and distributing a clone rather than settling that breeder question.2,5,6 In 231 state lab tests of matched flower, the median total THC is 20.00%; individual terpene results are available for 61 tests.7

Quick answers

Is Strawberry Cough indica or sativa?

Labels differ. Leafly files it as a sativa; Weedmaps files it as a hybrid; and AllBud calls it an 80% sativa / 20% indica hybrid.1,2,3

What strain is Strawberry Cough?

The common account is a Haze × Strawberry Fields cross, but Leafly calls its origins mysterious and Weedmaps says the original breeder and exact pedigree remain disputed.1,2,3,4

Who bred Strawberry Cough?

The available accounts do not settle it. Weedmaps and Pacific Stone describe Kyle Kushman receiving and distributing a clone, while North Atlantic Seed’s Royal Queen Seeds listing says an unnamed Connecticut grower created it and Kushman popularised it.2,5,6

How strong is Strawberry Cough?

The matched state-lab median is 20.00% total THC, with the middle half from 15.88% to 23.00%; 11.7% of tests reached 25% or more.7 Published listings vary from Leafly’s 19% to Weedmaps’ 18–26% and AllBud’s 22–26%.1,2,3

What terpenes are in Strawberry Cough?

The lab-data leaders by median are β-myrcene 0.30%, β-caryophyllene 0.10%, α-pinene 0.07%, from 61 tests that report individual terpene values.7 Leafly names myrcene, pinene and caryophyllene, while Pacific Stone names pinene as its dominant terpene for its product description.1,5

What does Strawberry Cough taste or smell like?

Leafly’s top flavor labels are strawberry, sweet and berry. Weedmaps adds floral, herbal, earth, pine and Haze-like spice to its strawberry-forward description, while AllBud uses berry, fruity, spicy, strawberry and sweet tags.1,2,3

A clone story with a documented cup claim

Strawberry Cough is notable less for a settled breeder record than for the repeated story of a clone moving from the Northeast through New York and then west with Kyle Kushman.2,5,6 Weedmaps says that distribution helped turn the cut into a household name, while SeedFinder retains the original as a clone-only entry.2,4

Weedmaps and Pacific Stone both say Strawberry Cough won Best Flower at the 2013 High Times Cannabis Cup; this guide attributes the result to those accounts because an event-results primary record was not obtained.2,5 Leafly’s page currently displays 2,992 ratings, a measure of page activity rather than proof of uniform genetics or effects.1
