Adverse reactions

With Strawberry Cough, a slight headache can sometimes be observed, in some rare cases. This can be accompanied by a little dizziness, which can perhaps lead to a feeling of anxiety, although this is a very rare occasion in this sativa.
Often, the only side effects of smoking Strawberry Cough, is the harsh feeling of a dry mouth, and a case of dry eyes. This may leave you feeling dehydrated, and can further encourage the coughing. This is why it is important to always have a glass of water nearby, to help calm down your throat when needed.

Growing strawberry cough. Outdoor grow New England mass, suggest planting around late May or earlier very sticky Red hairs smells amazing. Small plant 10 gallon pot min to grow.
I live in south Texas when will be a good time to plant my Strawberry cough seeds
I know a grower that crossed a Strawberry Cough with Sour Diesel the result he called sour cough. He did a few clone grows off the mother plant and made a seed stash at the end of his run. It gave off a nice strong diesel taste at first but had a sweet aftertaste while you were coughing. It wasn’t as bad as Strawberry cough but it def had some rasp to it in your throat. Really heady high once it finally hits. This is what we used to call “creeper weed” it comes up on you slowly. Great for pain and stress. I have some seeds he fem’d, going to try and keep the strain alive. Really nice smoke hate to let it’s dna die off.
Doing an indoor grow right now. About two weeks left of flower she’s very crystally and turning purple and smelling awesome. Loving the way she looks so far
I chose this as my first grow because it is the best I have ever tried, and I have been at it for 30 years:). 6 weeks in, she is 30 inches tall, 30 inches wide and extremely healthy. Looking forward to April!!!!
i know you said its unclear the origin story, and i loved the pun, but i need to clarify something. I love this strain, it isn’t called strawberry cough due to it making consumers cough, its suppose to stand for coffee, allegedly it had a coffee aroma and it was grown in a strawberry field and obtained strawberry flavor profile. its from Vermont
I must also note that oddly enough yes Vermont grow strawberries and coffee.
science and time will explain this.
also in the past many strains and particularly kushes had coffee like profiles, I am sure when it was more illegal this would be better then haze skunk and hash smells if it could lead to jail time.
back in the day, i had such good strawberry cough with its signature reddish hue, and people insisted that weed couldn’t smell like strawberries and the growers had some elaborate conspiracy/plot.
glad times have changed!
I had it once about 15 years ago. Was just gifted four cuttings from a friend. I am very happy to be able to have a small harvest for Christmas if I flip into flower by late September. That should give me a nice third to go along with my outdoor crop of dosidos, and mountain Bear.
Grew Strawberry Cough 50 miles north of nyc. Lots of sun and dark soil by a lake. She grew to 6’, produced 14oz and finished 2 week October. The flavor, the buzz and ease of growing makes this my very favorite strain.

[…] Coughing, tightness of the chest, wheezing, and shortness of breath are the most common symptoms of asthma. Again, this is the result of the struggle for air to move easily through the lungs’ airways. When these airways are particularly exacerbated, one might experience an “asthma attack,” during which breathing will become especially difficult. These attacks can be very dangerous and even fatal when serious. […]
