Sour Headband

hybrid

Sour Headband is a sativa-heavy hybrid known for its sharp, chemical-diesel profile and a cerebral, head-focused onset that transitions into a hazy physical relaxation.

About Sour Headband

Sour Headband is a hybrid strain recognized for its place within the broader "Sour" lineage. While there is a general consensus that the strain is a cross between the sativa-dominant Sour Diesel and the indica-leaning Headband, some accounts suggest an alternative origin involving a cross between the Sour Diesel descendant 7/8th Sour and Headband, attributed to Loud Seeds. The terpene profile is characterized by caryophyllene, myrcene, and limonene, which contribute to a scent profile of skunky lemon and diesel, followed by a sharp, sour citrus-chemical flavor. Reported experiences describe an onset that begins at the back of the head, promoting focus and creative energy before eventually settling into a hazy, soothing body sensation.

Plant characteristics

The plant is described as a mostly indica variety that grows into a short, sturdy structure with thick branches and wide fan leaves. It is sensitive to environmental stressors like wind and heavy rain, favoring mild climates. Indoors, the flowering period ranges from 56 to 70 days, with outdoor harvests occurring in mid-to-late October. It is considered a lower-yielding plant, typically producing around 12 ounces per plant under ideal conditions. The strain is available as seeds, with clones potentially available directly from cultivators.
