Strawberry Cough

Description

This variety, which takes its name from its distinct strawberry flavor and the coughing it can cause in users, is highly prized for therapeutic purposes by both amateurs and patients.

Origin and genetics

Strawberry Cough is a hybrid strain, primarily sativa. Its exact origins are shrouded in mystery, but it is generally accepted that it resulted from a cross between a Haze strain and an Erdbeer strain (strawberries in German). Famed breeder Kyle Kushman is often credited with popularizing this strain.

Physical characteristics

Strawberry Cough plants are often medium to large, with dark green leaves and dense buds, lightly tinged with red and purple. The abundant trichomes that coat the buds give them a glistening, resinous appearance. The plant is also known for its hardiness and disease resistance, making it a popular choice among growers.

Aroma and taste

As the name suggests, Strawberry Cough is known for its distinct strawberry aroma, with sweet and fruity notes that tantalize the senses. This aromatic characteristic comes from dominant terpenes, including myrcene and caryophyllene, which are also responsible for the sweet and spicy flavor. When smoked or vaporized, it offers a unique taste experience reminiscent of freshly picked strawberries.

Therapeutic effects and applications

Strawberry Cough is known for its stimulating and euphoric effects, typical of sativa strains. It quickly elevates mood and promotes creativity, concentration, and sociability. It's an ideal strain for daytime use, as it stimulates without causing drowsiness.

Therapeutically, Strawberry Cough is often used to relieve stress, anxiety, and depression thanks to its relaxing and mood-enhancing properties. Some patients also find that it helps manage symptoms of chronic fatigue and stimulates appetite.
