Strawberry Cough

Strawberry Cough: Highly Esteemed

Strawberry Cough seeds grow into tall and full plants covered with tasty buds. The upturned leaves act as solar panels sucking up the sun’s powerful rays producing sticky nuggets covered in green and amber hairs. The resin-filled trichomes are potent and add to that enticing aroma that cannabis users love. Once harvested, the nuggets you are left with are almost completely green with tiny orange hairs here and there. The nuggets are dank, dense, and heavy, and once broken apart, they unleash that very same aroma. Strawberry Cough has won five major awards, including Best Flower in the U.S. at the 2013 High Times Cannabis Cup in Seattle. With multiple Cannabis Cup award wins, this tasty strain has a permanent place on the radar of serious growers and is popping up in more grow rooms than we can count.

Growing Tips for Our Seeds

The Strawberry Cough strain is an easy grow and can be taken on by first-time growers looking for a powerfully delicious strain to add to their resume. The strain performs best in areas with lots of sunshine but is said to be grown easier in indoor conditions for the simple fact that the plants grow very tall and bushy. If you have ample space in your greenhouse or garden, you can make this strain work outdoors. Make sure you grow this strain in an area that gets fresh air and lots of light to ensure you make it to harvest. Strawberry Cough is resistant to molds, pests, and mildew and is well-known for being a low-maintenance grow, even for beginners.

Dial in Your Growing Conditions

• Indoor or Outdoor: Strawberry Cough cannabis seeds can be grown indoors and outdoors by all levels of growers. The ideal temperature for these plants is between 70-85 degrees Fahrenheit.

•  Moisture control: Maintain moderate humidity levels between 30-50% throughout the vegetative stage, while dialing back the humidity to 30% will get these plants through the flowering stage and into harvest.

Dominant Terpenes in Strawberry Cough: Fresh Strawberries

The Strawberry Cough terpene profile is directly responsible for how the plant smells and tastes and the strong effects it has on its users. The most dominant terpene in this strain is caryophyllene, while myrcene and pinene are the secondary terpenes.

• Caryophyllene: Most Dominant – Known for its peppery aroma, this terpene is one of the most frequently seen terpenes in cannabis plants.
• Myrcene: Secondary Terpene – Known for its relaxing and sedative effects, it also helps with anxiety, pain, and stress.
• Pinene: Found in Pine Needles – This terpene is responsible for the strain’s earthy notes and pungent aroma.

Dominant Cannabinoids in Strawberry Cough:

Cannabinoids play an important role in Strawberry Cough seeds and are generally a huge part of most cannabis strains. That happy, energetic, and uplifted feeling you get when enjoying the Strawberry Cough strain is due to its dominant cannabinoids. Each cannabinoid does something different to the user.

• THC: The Main Character – THC is the most dominant cannabinoid on the molecular level of this strain. The crystalline compound tetrahydrocannabinol is the main ingredient of cannabis. Topping out at around 18%, the THC in this Sativa-dominant strain is responsible for the happy and energetic feeling you get when using Strawberry Cough.
• CBD: Very Minimal Amounts – While the CBD levels in Strawberry Cough are around 1%, the cannabinoid is still present, and the effects are noticeable in this strain. CBD plays a smaller role in what the strain does to the user. CBD is non-psychoactive and can produce effects that help with anxiety, sleep, pain, and even stress. The CBD in the Strawberry Cough strain, even in its lower amount, definitely has a positive effect on the user.
