A Strawberry Cough Story 🍓 🍓 origins in vermont: Jon, known as Soma, and Jeff, known as Tropicav22, met at the University of Vermont around 1994, deep in the underground basement era where genetics moved hand to hand with no branding attached. 🌲 colorado cough lore: a 2007 forum post by Vermonster claimed growers running the Fort Collins “Colorado Cough” Northern Lights #5 × Haze cut briefly settled in Vermont, where it spread locally. the tie remains debated. 🧬 the cross (1996–97): in late 1996 into early 1997 in Vermont, Soma crossed a “Cough” bagseed with a second bagseed he called Orange Krush. Orange Krush was short, stout, finishing in 45–50 days with fruit and kush notes. the Cough was treated as haze-leaning. no strawberry line was used. the name “Strawberry Cough” referred to bud structure and the cough effect, not a fruit cross. 📸 raid and loss: around the end of 2000, Soma was raided. film photos were seized and the original mother was lost, but the circulating cut survived through growers. 🤝 kyle kushman connection (2000–01): around 2000–01, Jeff in Connecticut introduced the cut to High Times writer @KyleKushman420, handing him a clone at his home grow. kushman later described opening the bag and smelling “a pint of strawberries.” 🚗 clone spread: @KyleKushman420 passed the clone to a friend using grow equipment received through High Times. in exchange, the friend produced large numbers of clones. when kushman relocated to California in 2004, he distributed clones in multiple cities. this cut became widely known as the Kyle Kushman Strawberry Cough, or KKSC. 🗽 custodianship and seeds: DJ Nitro has reportedly held an original Strawberry Cough cut since 2001. around 2002, Dutch Passion worked with @KyleKushman420 on seed stock. online sources state he crossed Strawberry Cough with Sweet Tooth to produce seeds for release. 🎬 pop culture moment: in 2006, the film Children of Men featured Michael Caine referencing Strawberry Cough on screen, cementing the name in mainstream culture. 📣 storytelling as amplification: once @KyleKushman420 had the cut, he amplified it through articles, appearances, and clone sharing, turning a northeast cut into a national request. 🏆 legacy recognition: @HIGH_TIMES_Mag has listed Strawberry Cough among its top 25 strains of all time and its top 40 strongest strains of all time. born in vermont. strawberry cough forever 🍓 — @nuggnotes 🪴
