Fort Collins Cough (Ft. Collins Cough)

Originating from the Colorado cannabis scene in the late 1990s, Fort Collins Cough—frequently called The Coff, The Cough, or FoCo Cough—is a storied hybrid. Its history is rooted in a reported cross between Northern Lights #5 and Haze (with some accounts specifying Haze #17), attributed to two growers at Colorado State University. The strain faced near-extinction during the industry's shift toward Kush varieties but was preserved by Professor P of Dynasty Seeds, who valued its mildew resistance and heavy yields.

Known for a sharp, pungent profile, the strain features notes of pine, citrus cleaner, earthy hash, and diesel, finished with a menthol quality that is notoriously harsh on the lungs. Users report a rapid, climbing cerebral effect characterized by racing thoughts and creative energy. While some find it suitable for daytime use, the intensity can become jittery at higher doses.
