Strawberry Cough--Need some help

High yielder. from what I understand, the strain was given it's name because the breeder grew it for many years in with his strawberry plants, and claimed that the original scent of strawberries was intensified because of the way he grew the plants together. nevertheless, if his theories were correct or not, the worked plants in his field had developed a scent and smell that matched his freshest strawberries to a tee. But the high was not ideal for his prefrences(needed to be more cerebral). He took an outstanding pure haze male and crossed it with his best female flowering in his fields. These are essentially strawberry cough seeds, but not the clone that's going around. The SC pheno clone was found in sorting through dozens of these seeds that were given to kyle kushman. the SC clone yields very heavily from it's mother strawberry fields(which I was told the real deal is now extinct). expect a minimun of five to six ounces per sc plant, and the real deal finish around 7.5 -9 weeks depending on what you look at to harvest. each branch must be supported with at least one stalk, or the weight of the buds will cause your limbs and buds to hang on the ground

regarding the Strawberry Cough heritage, Strawberry Fields x Haze as I was told. Though Kyle (with whom I worked @ HighTimes and who provided the clone & details to me) had said it was a lonely (& lowly, he thought at first) clone, not seeds, which he received. He did not expect much (the 'breeder' had a very small, humble environment) and accepted the clone only to be polite ~ upon arriving home after a fairly long drive he opened the box where he had placed the clones and was suprised to catch the strong aroma of strawberries. At that moment he thought that it just might be something special. (which it really is!)


Maybe somebody can help me identify my strawberry cough plant.

All of its characteristics are all that was described in the quote, 7 - 8 week flower time, and intense strawberry fruity smell, more of an indica appearance. I won this plant as a clone in Detroit, it was rumored that the Kushman cut SBC was in that area. I myself only took the clone to be polite. The plant I have is not like the one that is described on Dutch Passion Seeds, it doesn't even look like it at all. My plant is super frosty. I think I may have the actual Kushman cut clone. Someone else on a different site, who is from Cali, freaked when they saw my pic telling me that I have the Kushman Strawberry Cough, at that time that meant nothing to me. I wasn't educated at all about Strawberry Cough, I had never heard of it until I won the clone.

Maybe someone can help me determine if what I have is in fact the Kushman cut, or maybe a different cut. Either way I would like to know whether it is or isn't the Kushman cut. The taste is phenomenal but I have been thinking about removing it from my grow because normally I like my plants to be more potent than this one is. I would hate to make a breed extinct though, especially if it is a desired strain. I suppose I could donate a clone or something to my club and it can be raffled off the same way as I originally got mine.

Any feedback in identification would be appreciated.

I wouldn't remove it from your garden If I were you, just keep it alive, or even better produce a lot of clones to give away, but thats just what I would do

It's hard to verify a plants true identity over the internet, but I would say you have a great chance of having the real deal based on all the info you've given if accurate.

I will take some clones to give away through our compassion club.
It is always a tough choice in getting rid of a good strain. It is just so tasty!
Thanks for your reply.
I am sure I will find out eventually, I have a couple other people also looking into it to help me figure it out.

Anyone? Still hoping for some feedback
Yo man, from what I seen in those pics, you have the kushman... I just got a couple of em myself, they have been fairly easy to come by in Downtown Detroit (not the burbs) for quite some time - 8 or 9 years. The other cough don't look anything like what you got. The Indica leaves don't come out until its in mid flower, the leaves almost all go yellow in week 7, you can let em grow to week 9.... real easy to grow. If you don't think the potency is high, you might need to resist harvesting during week 8. Let it go for 60 days. I know guys in the D that set their clock on 60 days for the kushman cough. Grow it organically, Im not gonna fuckin say it again!!! lol.. just playing, but if you want that strawberry and not that boo boo, keeps it organic. I grow a lot of clone only strains here in Michigan. I got the Kryp Walk, The Kushman Cough, G13 Airborne, and the infamous Brother's Grimm Apollo 13. Holla at a balla...

Looks like it is the cough, but let me give you some advice... Looks like A. You need to up the nitrogen in the first few weeks of flowering, as she craves N and it looks like your plants are yellowing mid flower, and B. Let her finish! 62-68 days she is perfect. Those chopped nugs look to have a lot of maturing to do.

the cough is real easy to get in Detroit now. It used to be special 10 years ago cause it was only held by one crew on the east side. Kyle lived here 96-98 and gave the cough to an elder member of said crew. We've given it out pretty liberally in the past 5 years though :)

I got some fire alien strawberry beans yesterday. OgRaskal from cannacollective, I am really looking forward to it. I am also going to get the white strawberry made from same cut. It will be later in the summer, but I can get you cuts no problem. I am hoping for better than the reg. strawberry cough. Obviously I will need to find a cut of the strawberry cough to be sure, eh.

Sorry buddy, cough isn't a great breeder. Gonna be tough to find something better in those seeds. She doesn't dominate the cross the majority of the time.

I appreciate you giving me the heads up on that. Have you tried the fire alien strawberry or white strawberry yet?

I've thought about grabbing those, let us know how it goes. I've never smoked good cough, but I have some friends that swear by it (though they never have one for me when I'm out that way).

Have not tried either of those. Smoked multiple strawberry diesel cuts, DP's "strawberry cough", and grown bag seed that I have found in really nice batches in Detroit in the past, only thing I've found that resembles the cough in smell and flavor is a cross my friend made. He grew out a bunch of seeds to find her. Strawberry cough x blue bubble is the cross. Strawberry bubble or stub is what we call her.
