Cherry Cough

hybrid

Cherry Cough is a name applied to several distinct genetic lineages, all characterized by prominent cherry-forward flavor profiles and a tendency to induce coughing.

About Cherry Cough

Cherry Cough represents a collection of disparate genetics sharing a common namesake. Because the name is used for multiple, unrelated breeding projects, the experience and lineage vary significantly depending on the specific cut.

One prominent lineage, associated with Apothecary Genetics, crosses OG Kush with Nigerian Lemon. This version combines the pine and fuel characteristics of OG Kush with the citrus-forward, sativa-leaning traits of the Nigerian landrace. It typically presents as an indica-leaning hybrid with THC levels often ranging from the high teens to low 20s.

A second version derives from a cross of Strawberry Cough (a blend of Haze and Strawberry Fields) and Cherry Wine (a cross of The Wife and Charlotte’s Cherries). This lineage was originally a CBD project that has been steered toward higher THC expressions, noted for a flavor profile reminiscent of sparkling cherry soda and a creative, buzzy effect.

A third variation, sometimes referred to as Cherry Cough Syrup, is reported to be a cross of OG Kush, Nigerian Lemon, and a DPG pheno. While breeder information for this specific iteration is limited, it is described as having a heavier, more pungent profile characterized by syrupy cherry, gas, and spice notes.

Across these variations, the terpene profiles generally feature myrcene, limonene, and caryophyllene, contributing to a mix of berry, citrus, and peppery notes. Reported effects consistently include a hazy cerebral buzz accompanied by physical relaxation.
