About The Cough
The Cough is a robust sativa-dominant hybrid developed from Northern Lights x Haze to combine cerebral uplift with manageable stature. It thrives where wind and cool summers are the norm, rewarding growers who provide shelter and steady feeding.
The Cough is a sativa-dominant hybrid bred for vigour and clear-headed effects. It shows resilience to stress and a lively terpene profile.
THC levels typically range from 18 to 22 percent and deliver a noticeable cerebral lift. Occasional phenotypes reach the low twenties on lab tests.
CBD remains low and usually sits around 0.5 to 1 percent. The low CBD emphasises the strain's psychoactive profile rather than heavy cannabidiol effects.
The Cough comes from a cross of Northern Lights and Haze strains to balance body and mind effects. Breeders selected for short statures and rapid finishing.
Seeds are offered feminized to ensure reliable female crops and reduced need for sexing. Some growers also select stable regulars for further breeding work.
Growing The Cough is intermediate in difficulty with attention to staking and wind protection required in windy coastal growing areas. Ensure strong root development and selective pruning to prevent wind damage.
Flowering takes eight to ten weeks depending on phenotype and local conditions. Outdoor growers may see finished buds earlier in warm seasons.
Yield is medium for an outdoor hybrid, typically 300–450 grams per plant when trained and fed properly. Yields can be lower under continual wind stress without shelter.
Plants stay short to medium with a sturdy central cola and ample lateral branching. This compact structure suits confined outdoor plots and makes stealth cultivation easier.
Indoors The Cough responds well to SCROG and SOG setups with predictable stretch. In Fermanagh outdoor sites the strain benefits from sun traps and in Fermanagh it rewards growers who mitigate exposure.
In Fermanagh the cool maritime climate and salty air demand robust windproofing and regular foliar checks. Expect the strain to tolerate windy coastal growing areas but place plants in sheltered microclimates to maximise bud quality.
Effects begin with an energetic cerebral buzz that eases into a focused calm. The high supports daytime tasks while avoiding heavy sedation.
Flavours combine pine and citrus with an earthy undertone. Terpene-rich phenotypes sometimes show a sharp peppery finish.
Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions about this strain, covering growth, effects, and suitability for UK conditions.
A well-draining loam rich in organic matter works best and supports strong root growth.
Harvest when trichomes are milky with some amber, usually late September to early October in sheltered spots.
Create windbreaks with hedging or temporary screens and position plants downwind of structures to limit salt exposure.
Low-stress training and selective topping work well to keep height down and encourage even bud sites.
Moderate feeding with a balanced NPK during veg and higher phosphorus in flower yields the best results.
Yes, some phenotypes finish reliably within eight to ten weeks and are suitable for short season outdoor cannabis growing.
Mould can be an issue in damp weather so maintain airflow, prune inner foliage and harvest promptly when conditions deteriorate.
Aphids and spider mites can appear in warmer spells, so inspect regularly and use biological controls where possible.
Push ripening with good late-season light, reduced nitrogen and consistent watering to maximise resin and terpene development.
