313 Headband
Also known as: HB, Headband
Overview
313 Headband is a distinctive phenotype of the classic Headband strain, representing a broader trend of area code phenotypes used to celebrate local cannabis culture, particularly in Michigan markets. The strain is a result of crossing the legendary OG Kush and Sour Diesel varieties, creating a sensational and long-lasting high that is beloved by many. The Headband strain burst onto the cannabis scene in the early 2000s and quickly gained a dedicated following, with origins traced to skilled breeders in Humboldt County who saw the potential in crossing OG Kush and Sour Diesel. The strain is named for its famed cerebral effects, creating a sensation of pressure across the forehead similar to a headband, which occurs as the strain's THC dilates blood vessels in the face. The 313 headband strain is THC-dominant, with most batches falling in the 18–25% total THC range, with exceptional lots registering in the 26–28% band.

Growing Information
313 Headband is an mostly indica from Beyond Top Shelf and can be cultivated indoors, outdoors and greenhouse with a flowering time of ±65 days. The Headband strain typically flowers within 9-10 weeks of its vegetative stage, making it suitable for growers with varying levels of experience. Headband is surprisingly easy to grow, with hardy indica plants that are relatively bushy and shorter than the average plant. The strain thrives in a Mediterranean-like climate, with temperatures ranging between 70-85°F (21-29°C) and prefers a moderate level of humidity, around 40-50%. Plants are not as vulnerable as many other strains to mold or disease and can withstand some degree of temperature variation. Indoor yields average 400 grams per square meter, while outdoor cultivation can yield up to 550 grams per plant with a 9-10 week flowering period. Because it is so skunky and potent, growers may want to take extra caution with plants — isolating outdoor growing locations and installing odor control measures for indoor growing environments.
