Origins & Lineage
Kks Original Strawberry Cough S1 is an S1 generation, meaning it was produced by self-pollinating the original Strawberry Cough clone, a cultivar popularized by Kyle Kushman.

This S1 iteration focuses on maintaining the distinct characteristics of the original clone.
Growing
As an S1 line, Kks Original Strawberry Cough S1 is bred for consistency in aroma and effect rather than hybrid vigor. Growers may observe two to three main phenotypic expressions within populations, primarily leaning towards strawberry jam and red-berry aromas, with some showing pine-spice or floral-citrus notes. The plant exhibits a sativa-leaning structure with moderate internodal spacing and a stretch of 1.5x to 2.2x during early flowering. Bud density is medium, which aids in post-harvest drying and curing.
