Kyle Kushman, a former High Times editor, developed Strawberry Cough strain largely by chance in 2000. Kushman claims to have received a small clone from a fellow breeder — a runt, the clone had allegedly been grown next to a strawberry patch somewhere in Connecticut. Kushman was struck by the clone’s pungent strawberry scent — he dubbed the strain Strawberry Field, and eventually crossed it with a Haze plant.
The result was Strawberry Cough strain, a hybrid that tastes soft and sweet and delivers a solidly cerebral high. Kushman built a buzz around Strawberry Cough in New York City’s underground cannabis market. He then moved out west to focus on cultivation in California and handed out clones of Strawberry Cough on the cross-country drive, boosting its popularity even more.
The strain’s award-winning flowers are large and chunky. Despite its dominant sativa genetics, Strawberry Cough strain has a more indica-typical bud structure, with solid and densely packed leaves. The sativa genes show, however, in the buds’ tapered, conical shape, less like popcorn and more like tiny pinecones.
