Strawberry Fields is an indica-dominant cannabis strain from Sagarmatha Seeds, bred as a heavier, more sedating version of Strawberry Cough, and known for a sweet strawberry aroma with a relaxing body high. The breeder built it from Strawberry Cough and an undisclosed indica, though some databases list Tangie and Strawberry Banana instead. THC typically runs 18–24%.

Where Strawberry Fields Comes From
Strawberry Fields comes from Sagarmatha Seeds, the breeder credited by both Leafly and SeedFinder. Sagarmatha’s own description says it was made as a night-time take on Strawberry Cough: keep the famous strawberry flavor, add an indica to make it heavier and more sedating. The breeder lists the genetics as Strawberry Cough crossed with a Strawberry Cough and indica hybrid, and Leafly’s description gives the same Strawberry Cough and undisclosed indica story.
There is a conflict worth knowing about. Leafly’s genetics chart and AllBud both list Strawberry Fields as a cross of Tangie and Strawberry Banana, which does not match the breeder’s account, and Leafly’s chart even shows Strawberry Cough as a child rather than a parent. That suggests a modern, unrelated cut is circulating under the same name, or a database error. When buying, the grower and lab sheet are better guides than the label alone.
Leafly lists Strawberry Cookies among its offspring, and Strawberry Fields is also named as a parent of the Evermore version of Pink Lemonade.
Strawberry Fields Effects: What It Feels Like
Strawberry Fields is a body strain. Leafly’s top reported effects are relaxed, sleepy and tingly, and the breeder describes a siesta-like calm meant for the end of the day. Reviewers describe an intense body high with a mostly clear head, and several use it at night for sleep or to settle down. One found it too unfocusing for daytime tasks but helpful for anxiety.
Not everyone gets couchlock. AllBud reviewers describe a fast onset with euphoria and happiness, and some Leafly reviewers found it social and giggly, or creative and floating while still wanting to sit still. One reviewer liked the clear-minded body effect before playing music. It is strong, though, and one reviewer warned inexperienced users to take it slowly.
Strawberry Fields Terpenes, Aroma and Flavor
The appeal is the strawberry. Leafly tags the flavor as strawberry, sweet and berry, and one reviewer compared it to a strawberry milkshake. AllBud adds citrus on the palate and earthy, fruity notes in the aroma, with reviewers mentioning candy and a woody edge. Batches vary: one reviewer found the smell weaker than an earlier jar, and another said bud quality differed by brand.
Leafly lists terpinolene as the dominant terpene, then myrcene and pinene. Terpinolene gives a fresh, fruity, slightly floral lift, myrcene adds ripe sweetness and helps explain the relaxing reputation, and pinene contributes a clean finish.
- Terpinolene: fruity, piney and herbal, common in classic sativas
- Myrcene: earthy, musky and herbal, also found in mango and hops
- Pinene: fresh pine, also found in pine needles and rosemary
Terpene levels vary from grower to grower and batch to batch, so check the lab label on the package. Learn more in our guide to cannabis terpenes.
Side Effects and How to Use Strawberry Fields
Leafly users report headache, dry mouth and dry eyes most often. AllBud notes it can make some users drowsy enough to fall asleep, so avoid it before driving or work. One reviewer blamed an over-dried batch for the dry mouth and eyes.
How strong Strawberry Fields feels depends on the batch, your tolerance and how you consume it. Start low, go slow, and read our guide to dosing cannabis.
Do People Use Strawberry Fields for Medical Reasons?
Leafly readers most often say they reach for Strawberry Fields for stress (36%), pain (28%) and anxiety (28%), and its description mentions insomnia and appetite loss. The breeder pitches it as having more medicinal value than Strawberry Cough. AllBud reviewers also mention chronic pain, migraines and muscle spasms. These are self-reports, not medical claims.

Growing Strawberry Fields
- Flowering: 55–60 days
- Yield: Medium
- Environment: Indoor, outdoor or greenhouse
Sagarmatha lists a flowering time of about 55 to 60 days and a medium yield, and says the strain can be grown indoors, outdoors or in a greenhouse. That fairly quick finish is an advantage outdoors, since it can come down before the heaviest autumn rain in wet climates. Because the genetics in circulation vary, start from breeder seed or a verified cut if you want the original Sagarmatha plant.
Home-grow rules depend on the state: adults can grow at home in states such as California (six plants per residence), Michigan (12 per residence) and Oregon (four per household), while Washington and Illinois allow home growing only for registered medical patients. Check your state in our cannabis laws by state guide before you plant anything.
