Headband
Headband is a classic hybrid celebrated for its sharp, fuel-forward terpene profile and a signature cerebral sensation that creates a distinct feeling of pressure around the forehead and temples.
About Headband
Headband is widely recognized as a hybrid cross of OG Kush and Sour Diesel. While this pairing was solidified in the public consciousness by the version released by DNA Genetics, the strain's history is complex and often overlaps with various East Coast Diesel cuts from the 1990s. These older, related lineages—sometimes referred to as Diesel #1, Daywrecker Diesel, or Underdawg—are occasionally linked to Sour Diesel and Northern Lights genetics, though the exact connection between these historical cuts and the modern OG Kush × Sour Diesel cross remains undocumented and debated.
Regardless of the specific lineage, the strain is defined by a pungent, old-school aromatic profile. It features sharp notes of diesel and sour citrus layered over a base of earth, pine, and pepper. Consumers frequently report a euphoric, spacey cerebral high that is accompanied by a steady, relaxing physical effect. The strain's name is derived from the distinct, pressure-like sensation it produces around the user's forehead and temples.
Plant characteristics
When grown indoors, the plant typically reaches maturity within 9 to 10 weeks. Outdoor cultivation is best suited for regions with a warmer autumn climate due to the strain's longer flowering duration.
