strawberry cough

[Croissant]

I had high hopes for this strain as its always touted as an anti-anxiety sativa high. Well I was a bit dissapointed to be honest. It seemed more indica than what I hoped for. It was rather anti-anxiety, and I would often find myself with a smile on my face but It was just missing that special something. The head was not so clear either it didnt have that clean feeling. It is what it is though.

It actually smells like a candied sort of strawberry more a candied smell though. The bag appeal is quite nice. It seemed less sativa than sour d to be honest. Salad bowls with sourd were amazing though greater than the sum of its parts!

Its not that potent either(compared to other "cali elites"). I mean its not weak it will get you high you just need to smoke a bit more than some other strains.Oh and the come down is not so clean.

Its not a bad strain by any means I just had high hopes. It does have some up components to the high, but its not expansive or soaring.

its best used as a mixer weed imo.

if its not the KKSC cut, its DP trash. Not the same whatsoever...I kind of wish the dutch passion and greenhouse chartered a private plane and crashed into the Atlantic...I've grown that, most people consider me as highly skilled in my arena, and yeah....blah....

EXACTLY the kksc is a straw haze goodness the dp is junk

Its unfortunate when companies release seeds that suck, then half the time you get a bag its a noob growing crappy knockoffs

the KKSC seems to grow more like an indica imo. very little stretch for a sat. honestly surprises me that there is any haze in the cross. the flowers i have sampled have been really nice, though not super potent. the lack of potency is really the only drawback. she is a joy to grow and that smell! wow!

 

[Phillthy]

ops post doesnt describe kksc.

 

[Croissant]

No this came from a so cal dispensory so I am pretty sure its not DP. It has a "hazey" undertone that I recongize in blue dream and Super lemon Haze. I like it better than blue dream to be honest.

It is more likely if not KKSC than its probably strawberry creme which is KKSC incrossed a few generations from a rondom male found in fem KKSC seeds.

But from the way people describe blue dream as a sativa as being uplifting I can see why they would describe this as sativa, its just imo I consider blue dream indica dom as I do with strawberry cough. I find green crack and sour d to be more sativa in effect IMO.

There is never really a way to verify 100% what a dispensory is selling as what so perhaps its not KKSC? But it sure does feel like a lot of what people describe just nothing special besides the smell.

My buddy that has tried KKSC before said its the same stuff and in fact was the best batch of it hes ever scene. The bag appeal was trully amazing on this sack and it smells like strawberry candies.

its just I was dissapointed by the way some people described the high I felt the same way with blue dream.

Just to spacey of a high not very focused felt like my head has a bit of cotton in it. I dont feel blasted like I do from indicas. There is definately sativa elements I am aware of I just dont like the high so much or feel as if its anything special or even worthy of being considered elite. The best thing about it is the bag appeal IMO. It is a nice alternative from so many of the more indica dom varieties that fill the shelves at the dispensaries. It is more of a high than a stone and it makes me smile and hum to myself I would smoke it more often than other strains I feel are superior given the option due to it being a better day strain than some strains.

on a side note the best sativa I have had in a dispensory is Super Lemon Haze now that stuff is bomb.

 

[ghostnugz]

the stuff youre describing is not the kksc. its very common in my area and ive been smoking it for long time. great haze high. very energetic with some nice body effects if let go long enough. great for wake n bake and through out the day. it really gets you goin!! ive had a few samples of the cough from socal dispensaries and none were legit. also one thing, its fucking potent. very very potent and when grown correctly will hold its own with just about anything. sounds to me that you just dont like sativas too much.

 

[Guest3498]

I've got to join the choir. The way you describe it doesn't sound much like kksc at all.

great for wake n bake

Amen to that w/o a doubt it's my favorite wake and bake smoke.

edit: I've also got to say, I never really understood why people said strawberry cough was good meds for anxiety. Seems quite the opposite imo, it always gets my mind moving a million miles per hour after a bongrip...

 

[Croissant]

well maybe you guys are right perhaps its not KKSC? It sure does smell like strawberries though especially since its been curing it changed more strawberry less " hazey" undertones which is a similar smell to blue dream.

One thing for sure is this strawberry cough is a really good mixer weed. Just lacking that special something on its own.

Its not that I dont like sativas; not the case at all. Some sativas arnt my favorite like green crack I dont care for too much, blue dream either if you consider that sativa. But I have had some known and unknown haze variaties in the past that I loved. About 10 years back I had some brick sativa in costa rica that was really nice. I just had some super lemon haze that was really amazing. Most jack Herer I get in dispensaries I dont like so much. I really love up clear and expansive soaring highs, I dont really like gritty feelings mental fog or tachicardia. Some times the fast heart beat is not so bad if the high is really clean clear and expansive soaring.

Is whats sold as strawberry cough in socal dispensaries KKSC? I dont know.
What I do know is how I feel about whats sold as strawberry cough in marina del ray which doesnt seem so sativa to me, but then again I dont find blue dream very sativa either or very good, while many tout blue dream as some amazing haze, which I dont agree with at all.

Hey croissant you may have the S'creme cut it's much more popular on the left coast, Its the KKSC s1 no back crossing to unknown male just an S1. As i have heard it is a weaker version of the KKSC clone, in high and taste. The strawberry cough is a great selling name and you got to know you cant trust a thing dispensaries sell you. Most people who get the KKSC don't have anything bad to say about it, most are impressed by the unusual flavor and the punch of the stone. Sorry you didn't like the strain you got but unless its from a verified source you really don't know what you got

Exectly I figured it would be screme which is linebred s1s in which a male was found. screme was made by cbf. Clone sellers advertise screme cuts so I figured its more likely its screme than DP strawberry cough. It very well may be some other strain that just happens to smell just like strawberries IDk for sure.

Well think there are different cough cuts. Out here in CO they talk about a FoCo Cough that was supposedly one of the original coughs...heard it was really just a nl5/haze pheno. Hard cut to find, not as fast as KKSC from what ive heard but haven't ran it. Heard its like straw cough syrup and haze.

Ive run the KKSC and found it to have more of the candied straw/berries/fruity as described. It doesn't really stretch much, and has very interesting growth structure. Super stanky, fruity, sweet buds that are frosted for sure. Smell is most def strawberries.

Also ran OGR's KKSC x White...very similar smells to the KKSC cut but much better structure, resin production, and some really really nice (if not better smells)...could definitely see the similarities in buds though between the "KKSC" and OGR's cross but wouldn't mind running the FoCo Cough some day.

There is one original strawberry cough.
I got this description from Kyle Kushman the other week just for IC. I know how much you guys love to argue.

Strawberry Cough

KK's Strawberry Cough is a 1st time cross by a novice from CONN. Strawbery fields x haze (possibly Nevil's from early 90s), Strawberry Cough is a F1 and proves you do not need to be a scientist to chuck pollen and get lucky.

The novice breeder gave KK a cut in a dixie cup, it looked horrible, but he took it to be nice even though he wasnt growing due to the high times job. He asked to put it in a paper bag. Had it in a bag once he got back home, and was going to throw it away. He opened the bag to chuck the ugly little cutting and smelled pugent of strawberries.

He didn't know what to do with it because he wasn't growing at the time. So he attempted to give it to friend. But this friend was growing super silver haze and didn't want to mess with any BS genetics. He convinced the guy to grow it out, he didn't want to but did. The strawberry cough entered the NY delivery service world and blew up. The grower saw it was preferred over the super silver haze, a steady leader. He spread the cuts all over he city, within 2 years strawberry cough was dominating the NY high-end delivery scene.

In 2002, KK 'gave' dutch passion sweet tooth #3 x Strawberry Cough. He tried to breed out the sweet tooth and could not. It is far from the strawberry cough. That is what Dutch Passion (and now the rest of the world) has/sells/works with unless they got a cut of the original.

...yep heard that story too.

Ive got the legit KKSC from homies in NY. And its nothing to call home about...got culled to be more specific. I would prefer to try the local "FoCo Cough" cut which appears to be harder to get is more haze than strawberry with a super high- again heard that one is just NL5/Haze pheno. IMHO the KKSC cut is just a good breeder, not quite on par with elites but outcrosses great. Have heard the genetics are not what they used to be though after years of cut that may be tired...who knows. I know CBF still does a lot of work locally with teh Screme cut and i believe continues to bx it...

 

[MMJcali]

Anybody know where I could find a legit KKSC cough cutting in SoCal? I grew out DP cough from seed last run and was pretty disappointed. been looking for a perfect strain for anxiety, so it'd be cool to try the real deal.

 

[Croissant]

dude if your in socal just get some cuts of flo or blueberry or the white they are available and are good for anxiety and much better than the socal strawberry cough, hell you can even get kksc crossed in strawberry diesel which is probably much better.
