Strawberry Cough: A berry-forward sativa classic

Strawberry Cough is a well-known feminized cultivar celebrated for its sweet fruit profile, Haze influence, and strong sativa lean. Originally associated with grower Kyle Kushman, this variety built its reputation on distinctive aroma, reliable vigour, and classic appeal.
