Strawberry Cough

[skroddumb]

dont you love those good genetics?
strawberry cough i thought was nl5 x haze x skunk 1?
can anybody confirm?
my last yield i had one sc, she didnt yield as much as the "strait cough" that i had, and the stone of the straight cough was impecible compared to the strawberry. does anybody know the difference in the 2?

 

[Tarbosh]

whoa.... NL5 x Haze x Skunk1 is like something diff.......super silver haze or super haze or something......... drawing a blank here....... w/e .... Im almost positive, that the cough is a pheno of original C1- cough, that originated in colorado.... I believe the myth goes........ c1s were dispursed around the country from colorado..... and someone who grew out a large quantity found the "strawberry" pheno and cloned it........ I'm almost 100% that the strawberry cough is a pheno of the original "cough" or c1's

 

[Lovecraft]

I thought it was a cross of the Cough, and a strawberry tasting/smelling Kush.......I'm pretty sure......
3LD, your SC momma is looking great, nice and ready for cuts! Your going to love her! Shes a piece of cake to grow too.

 

[Guest]

hell yeah! got yourself a nice gem there

 

[Guest]

Kushman made it famous. Strawberry fields x haze. Yo 3leg, cant wait to see how that cross turns out. Sounds like a winner







Nevermind

Now for the strawberry fields. It is a 100% indica strain that
originated in vermont. around 7 weeks flowering time. Breed
for the taste and smell of strawberries, and to be able to
finish before the first snow fall in Vermont. 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!)

The yields, etc., are also a spot on description (thanks for all that
info Cedarberry!)

Didn't even see yer thread 3LD , good shit ; yer project sounds killer too ! Interested in seein how tha Cough turns out fer ya .

Be well.

 

[3legdog]

Great info Pike & thanks for the kind words fellow ICr's :friends:

A few new pics from today of the moma ... really ready for a cut purging soon . An entire garden of SC is on the horizon & many will go outside as well. Again thanks to Jimmy for yet another great project :smile:

 

[3legdog]

This cut has a very branchy growth structure & a hazy stem smell. Looks like a sativa if you go by the leaf structure,but stayn short & stocky like an indi. Mabey the best of both worlds .

 

[SativaBelieva]

I know you enjoy this one!!!
Cheers,

I appreciate the input Pike, but a couple of things does not add upp with the story. The breeder grew the strain toghether with strawberries, and somehow the scent of the strawberries transferred over to the Cannabis plant? It sounds like a very shaky theory to me. To start with, plant smell is the result of genetics and to some extent nutrition (type of soil/medium, nutrients and bacteria culture). Genes do not "jump" over from one plant species to another like that, it simply does not happen. Secondly, even if the Cannabis plant shared the same soil, nutrients and bacteria culture as the strawberries, it doesn't mean that the Cannabis should start to smell like strawberries anymore than that the strawberries should smell like Cannabis. At the most, fungi attack on both strawberries and Cannabis could give a similar "smell" to both species, or perhaps strawberry fed spider mites jumped over to the Cannabis, but the most likely explanation is that he just imagined the whole thing.
Secondly, smell in plants is strongly linked to sex and pheromones. Pheromones are volatile compounds emitted by certain plants (Cannabis included), and these smell signals can be intercepted and understood by other plants or pollinating insects. For instance, wildflowers have evolved to have very pleasant and sweet smells to attract pollinators likes bees and butterflies and other plants smell sour or rotten to attract different pollinators like flies. Cannabis is a wind pollinated plant that does not need to attract insects for pollination, but the sweet and sour fragrances in Cannabis are possibly genetic remains from a time when it's ancestors did attract pollinators. The pheromones goes into action when the flowering starts, and it's in flower that the Cannabis plant starts to reek. You wrote that Kyle said the clone smelled of strawberry, I find that highly unlikely unless the clone was flowering. Then, as 3legdog already pointed out, you claim that SC is a 100% Indica, but from the photos posted the Sativa traits really stand out. It's not my intention to flame you brother, but these things don't make sense to me, that's all.

 

[SativaBelieva]

RC... that is the story on SC... it doesn't say that the genetic traits are transferred from a strawberry plant to a cannabis plant... the breeder has selected his cannabis genetics to resemble strawberry flavors... Strawberry Fields is the indica mother, daddy Cough brings in the sativa side... the Kyle clone is the only one with this excellent mix of indica buds with sativa high... that makes it an elite!

It does make sense to all who have grown it! See it... taste it and you will be a believa!!!

That's what it said, that's what I reacted on. I'm sure SC does smell something of strawberries, but the reason for it is probably other than that.

 

[TML16]

Not that I even know if that is possible or not. I have grown gardens where my cucumber plants and watermelon plants were next to eachother in the garden. They took on eachothers traits and tastes. Let me just say, I had no cucumber or watermelon that year. So...I can see it as possible. It is a nice lil bit of marijuana heritage too if you let it be.

Regardless, you have a beauty plant there 3legdog.

 

[Rosy Cheeks]

That's a daring theory you've got there TML16, it challenges botany and biochemistry as we know it today. Let me give you a short outline of how nature works. Wherever living organisms share the same space there is competition for resources. All organisms require resources such as food, nutrients and water to grow, reproduce, and survive. Plants require soil nutrients, light, and water. Organisms, however, cannot acquire a resource when other organisms consume or defend that resource. Therefore, competitors reduce each other's growth, reproduction or survival. Biologists talk about two types of competition: interference and exploitative competition. During interference competition, organisms interact directly by fighting for scarce resources. In contrast, during exploitative competition, organisms interact indirectly by consuming scarce resources. Plants consume nitrogen, making nitrogen unavailable to nearby plants. Competition can occur between individuals of the same species, called intraspecific competition, or between different species, called interspecific competition. Studies show that intraspecific competition check population dynamics (changes in population size over time). Interspecific competition can alter the sizes of many species' populations at the same time. Experiments show that when species compete for a limited resource, one species eventually try to drive the populations of other species extinct. The apparent peaceful coexistence you observe in your garden is in fact underground warfare.
Competition can cause species to evolve differences in traits. For instance, birds of different species inhabiting the same area competing for the same kind of food has been known to develop different kind of beaks in order to catch different kinds of food. It's a kind of cease-fire between two species, a better way of exploiting existing resources by divergence in feeding. Similarly, different plant species forced into coexistence have been known to adapt their evolution to the other, but they don't evolve into resembling the other species. On the contrary, they seek out the differences. Therefore, neither strawberries, Cannabis, cucumbers nor watermelons will aquire eachothers traits. You might have observed a change in your cucumber's and watermelon's growth structure, but I believe you misinterpretated that observation. The only thing that could possibly pass on smells between two plant species is microbiological interaction of which we still don't know everything, but you need to find a good explanation for it, because I don't have any.

 

[TML16]

I'm not going to challenge any theories as I'm not a botonist or biochemist. Like I said in my first line of my post "Not that I even know if that is possible or not". I'm definately not saying thats what happened in my case. All I know is something went wrong between my cuc's and melons and I never plant them together anymore. I was never looking for or stating fact. Like mythology, I thought it Pikes story was interesting. It doesn't need to be true to have meaning, sometimes white lies are fun...take religion for instance (I'm sure someone will jump on me for that one).

Thanks for the lesson though, it's true you do learn something new everyday.

 

[Rosy Cheeks]

I think your cucumbers and melons tried to kill eachother, just my guess. I've heard stories about that before so I think it's interesting to deal with them and see if there's something in it. There could be. I once thought music makes plants grow better was BS, but as I studied what was written about it I found out there were perfectly reasonable explanations for how and why it worked. I also thought pike's story was interesting, I hope I didn't scare him off.

 

[Hilikus]

wow shes lookin pretty!!! I'm jelouse...wish i had a SC, i've never even tried it but i hear she gives you a ride! keep us updated!

 

[Guest]

Lookin' good 3LD!!
I'm still watching with interest, I've always wanted to try this strain, but atleast until I do, I've got some Strawberry Deez in my garden. Can't wait to try that one too.
On another note, I think I remember you were interested in the Strawberry Deez males? Well, just in case your interested, I'm just about to embark on some pollen-chucking with the Strawberry Deez, check out the link in my sig if you wanna know more.

Interesting discussion going on here... I'm not a botanist or biochemist either... but I do believe that next to competition... organisms can also be symbiotic to other life forms... I'm interested to try growing Yarrow together with cannabis... Yarrow should activate compost activity in the soil... and through its roots it somehow should help cannabis roots... sorry I don't have details, but I got the idea from macrobiotic farming info... search the internet, if you like to learn more on that...

Though this brings me to another point... symbiotic life forms... to plants' roots are mychorizza... extending the rhisosphere... this root fungus expands the effective reach of the roots... and helps to ward off harmfull fungi... next to that I do add bacteries to help break down the bio nutrients into components the roots can uptake...
