Nirvana
Raspberry Cough is a red-haired F1 cross of Nirvana’s famed
ICE with a Cambodian landrace mother strain. The tropical
high-THC mother has characteristics similar to Thai and other
regional strains from Southeast Asia that make them such
enviable building blocks for excellent sativa quality. The ICE
father is a red skunk with some white strains in the family tree
and is a rapid growth hybrid known for above-average yields.
This hybrid is sativa-dominant, retaining some of the stretchy
open structure of its mother, but she grows and finishes more
quickly than pure sativa strains. Those who live in a forgiving
climate can plant Raspberry Cough outside in May and harvest
at the end of October. Two-thirds of the height gain happens
during flowering, so indoor gardeners should force flowering
with this in mind. Raspberry Cough is not too branchy and
stays narrow, allowing plants to be placed close in a sea of
green, with average yields in this setup between 400 and 500
grams per square meter. Like most sativa-dominant plants,
Raspberry Cough’s performance is very closely tied to
environmental conditions.
Raspberry buds are neither fluffy nor super dense. They are
thin and long, like cattails, with many red hairs. They will turn
bluish if night temperatures cool down during the final weeks
of flowering. The high from these frosty colas is awake yet
tranquil, with a lung expansive quality. Its clearheaded, alert,
and functional yet peaceful influence is recommended for
medicinal purposes. It is also good for preventive medicine,
rejuvenating the spirit and serving as a great companion for
healthy activities such as nature hikes, meditation, or savoring
the natural flavors of nature’s best foods. Raspberry Cough’s
profusion of herb, mint, spice, and tropical floral freshness
might be counted among nature’s yummy offerings.
