This strain prefers a warm or hot tropical location, with temperatures between 70-85 degrees Fahrenheit, or 21-30 degrees Celsius, including overnight. The crop itself grows medium in height, which makes it take up less upwards space than many sativa strains tend to. For this reason, it can be grown in a variety of different indoor spaces. The typical flowering period for Strawberry Cough is between 9-10 weeks, with outdoor harvest time falling around early to mid-October.
EFFECTS AND USES
Classified genetically as a sativa (with an 80% sativa and 20% indica makeup), Strawberry Cough is said to be a crossbreed between Strawberry Fields and a mysterious old-school staple Haze strain. Well-grown Strawberry Cough buds have been rated at 15-26% THC composition in conducted lab tests. With a THC content like that, Strawberry Cough has been used to treat conditions like anxiety, pain, and loss of appetite.
