Caramel Cough
Caramel Cough
Also known as: Carmel Cough, Caramel Classic Reserve
Overview
Caramel Cough is a sativa-dominant hybrid strain created by Dynasty Genetics through crossing The Cough, a clone-only cut of Northern Lights #5 × Original Haze, with Ms. Universe #10, a phenotype of the Dess*tar × Space Queen cross. This strain represents a sophisticated blend of old-school genetics with modern breeding techniques, combining the potent Haze influence from The Cough with the complex terpene profile and vigor of the Ms. Universe line.
The strain exhibits the characteristic Christmas tree structure typical of sativa-dominant varieties, with long tapered spade-shaped bright neon green buds covered in thick amber hairs and a generous coating of chunky white crystal trichomes. Caramel Cough is renowned for its exceptional resin production, making it highly valued for concentrate production. The strain's appearance reflects its genetic heritage, with some phenotypes showing darker green to blue-hued leaves inherited from The Cough mother.
Historically significant within Dynasty Genetics' catalog, Caramel Cough has gained recognition as a 'connoisseur grade' strain that balances potency with complex flavor profiles. The strain has been praised by cannabis enthusiasts for its ability to deliver both recreational and therapeutic benefits while maintaining genetic stability across harvests. Its development represents the preservation of rare genetics like The Cough, which nearly became extinct during the popularity of faster-flowering Kush varieties.

Growing Information
Caramel Cough is considered an advanced strain to grow with a flowering time of 9-11 weeks (approximately 70 days). The strain can be cultivated indoors, outdoors, or in greenhouse environments. Plants exhibit a 2-4x stretch during flowering and produce copious resin. Multiple phenotypes exist with varying characteristics: Pheno #1 (30%) shares similarities with The Cough mother with dark green/blue leaves and slower initial vegetative growth but excellent root development; Pheno #2 (20%) shows Ms. Universe dominance with faster vegetative growth but 4x stretch requiring adequate vertical space. The strain is described as producing 'connoisseur grade buds' with excellent yields when properly managed. Growers should expect tall plant height and prepare for the substantial stretch during flowering transition.
