From Strawberry Fields and Haze

Breeder Kyle Kushman worked on Strawberry Cough in New York and Vermont in the early 2000s, and it was covered in High Times features. The parents are Strawberry Fields and Haze. The plant flowers in 9-10 weeks.

The breeding took place in New York and Vermont, and the aroma is ripe strawberry jam.

The reported use is an easygoing social setting, a conversation, or a work event that needs a buffer between you and the small talk. The onset is quick, about 3 minutes, and the peak is uplifting and arrives within 15 minutes. Effects last 2 to 4 hours inhaled and longer from edibles.

Its 15-20% THC range sits below the 17-24% listed for Blue Dream and the 18-25% for White Widow.

Myrcene, Pinene and Caryophyllene

Myrcene

Myrcene leads the order with the body-relaxing, heavy, classic indica-feel descriptors, beside the ripe strawberry jam.

Pinene

Pinene is second, with a fresh, pine-like aroma next to the fresh-cut hay.

Caryophyllene

Caryophyllene is the third terpene, peppery and warm, with a grounding feel in the body.

Berry and Sweet Pine Comparisons

Blue Dream has the same terpene order with blueberry candy and vanilla instead of strawberry jam, and it runs a bit stronger at 17-24% THC. Granddaddy Purple is indica-leaning, with grape and lavender. Blackberry Kush pairs blackberry with sweet diesel. White Widow swaps the fruit for sweet pine and floral funk at 18-25%.
