Strawberry Cough

Strawberry Cough, a sativa-dominant hybrid masterminded by Kyle Kushman, clinched the title for Best Flower at the 2013 Cannabis Cup. Crafted from a fusion of Strawberry Fields and an enigmatic Haze strain, it boasts an impressive composition of 80% Cannabis sativa and 20% Cannabis indica, delivering a robust THC potency ranging from 20% to 25%.

Originating in California, Strawberry Cough owes part of its lineage to New York's Strawberry Fields, an indica variety. Legend has it that the proximity to actual strawberry fields infused its aroma with the sweet scent of its namesake. Its efficacy extends to easing stress, anxiety, and depression.

Cannabinoids like THC and CBD play a vital role in regulating serotonin transmission, thereby offering therapeutic benefits in managing nausea, headaches, and mood disorders. Given its THC richness, Strawberry Cough holds promise in stimulating appetite by promoting the secretion of the hunger hormone ghrelin.

Growing

Given its sativa nature, Strawberry Cough typically exhibits tall growth. Those residing in warmer, tropical regions can cultivate it outdoors, while individuals in milder climates may find greenhouse cultivation more conducive for optimal development. Notably, its resistance to pests and mold renders it a robust choice among sativa cultivars, particularly for novice growers seeking a harmonious blend of outdoor and indoor cultivation methods.

Indoor cultivation of Strawberry Cough can yield favorable results, albeit its stature may present challenges. During the vegetative phase, strategic pruning and topping techniques may be employed to manage its height and encourage bushier growth patterns. Soil cultivation supplemented with organic nutrients is recommended for optimal performance. Anticipate a yield averaging around 14 to 15 ounces per square meter.

Height

Strawberry Cough has the potential to reach heights of up to 78 inches, equivalent to 6.5 feet.

Humidity and Temperature

For optimal growth, Strawberry Cough thrives in a humidity range of approximately 50% during the vegetative phase, which tapers down to 30% throughout the flowering stage. Maintaining ideal temperatures between 70 and 85 degrees Fahrenheit (21 to 29 degrees Celsius) during the day, and slightly cooler temperatures ranging from 60 to 70 degrees Fahrenheit (15.5 to 21 degrees Celsius) at night, fosters favorable conditions for this strain's development.

Flowering

The flowering period for Strawberry Cough, a sativa strain, typically spans nine to 10 weeks, which is considered reasonable for this varietal. However, it's worth noting that certain plants may require extended flowering durations, ranging from 12 to 16 weeks, to reach full maturation.
