About Strawberry Cough
Strawberry Cough was bred by a New England breeder known as 'Kyle K', who crossed Strawberry Fields with Haze genetics (or a Haze hybrid — the exact lineage is debated). The strain is named for two things: its distinct sweet strawberry aroma and flavor, and the fact that it produces such an expansive, lung-filling vapor that it inevitably makes users cough. The buds are classic sativa structure: light, fluffy, and elongated with orange hairs and a moderate trichome coat. The effects are pure sativa: energetic, uplifting, creative, and social — a perfect daytime strain. Strawberry Cough has been continuously cloned and grown for over 25 years, a testament to its enduring appeal.

History
Kyle K created Strawberry Cough in his New England grow room in the late 1990s and shared the clone with the cannabis community. The strain's name comes from the intense coughing fit it produces — legendary in cannabis circles. The story goes that someone coughed so hard from smoking it that they couldn't catch their breath, and the name stuck. Strawberry Cough became a staple of the East Coast medical cannabis scene and was widely distributed through clone networks. Its strawberry terpene profile was groundbreaking at a time when most strains were earthy or skunky. The strain has been preserved for over 25 years and remains popular.
