General Information

Type: Hybrid

Genetics: OG Kush, Master Kush, and Sour Diesel

Geographic Origin: California

Description: Headband is a combination of OG Kush, Master Kush, and Sour Diesel. The varying strains that make up this hybrid helps Headband cover a wide variety of symptoms and ailments, making it a favorite amongst many dispensaries and patients.

History: Being a child of OG Kush, Master Kush, and Sour Diesel, you are in for quite a treat. With Headband being a true hybrid, you will enjoy the benefits of extremely effective pain relief from the Indica side, as well as the perks of a focused energy courtesy the sativa side, making this Northern California hybrid a great medicine for daytime use. If you seek a strain that will allow you to " hit the ground running" in the morning, look no further. There’s a good reason this one is in constant high demand.

 

Growing Information

Flowering Time: 9 weeks

Parents: OG Kush, Master Kush, and Sour Diesel

Type: Hybrid (70% Indica / 30% Sativa)

Indoor Yield: 300-400g per square meter

Taste/smell: Citrus

Rating: 8/10

Density: The thick and compressed density of flowers falls in line with the Headband plant itself, which is short, fat, and bushy. It will grow fast and thrive during the vegetative phase and will produce a large canopy with many tops. During flowering, Headband will nearly double in size. Headband doesn’t reach the height of Sour Diesel, and doesn’t stretch as much as OG Kush, and also doesn’t need as many nutrients as its parents. Soil growing methods are preferred, but yields are still impressive when grown in hydroponics and other growing methods.

 

Patient Expectations

Scent: Once you break open the bud, the overwhelming citrusy aroma of the ever so popular Sour Diesel makes itself immediately evident. Eventually, hints of Kush break through from the background.

Flavor: Similar to the smell, you will have a citrus taste that sits very well with the feeling that hits shortly after. Unlike many other strains, you find yourself seeking strains with the same aftertastes you receive from Headband.

Effects: The excellent choice of sativa added to the Headband mix balances the indica/sativa characteristics very well. An awake, alert feeling is provided quickly. Headband seamlessly integrates the strong high frequency alertness of a sativa with the deep intoxicating lows of an indica, making this is a well-balanced hybrid.

Medical Uses: Headband provides effective relief for a number of symptoms and conditions including depression, anxiety, bi-polar disorder, nausea, migraines, pain, muscle spasms, and lack of appetite.
