Overview
707 Headband is a well-regarded hybrid cannabis strain that originated in Humboldt County, California, taking its numerical designation from the 707 area code of Northern California. This strain emerged from the legendary cannabis genetics of the West Coast and has become a staple among connoisseurs for its distinctive effects and robust profile. The strain is the result of crossing three legendary cultivars: Sour Diesel, OG Kush, and Master Kush, though some sources suggest variations in its exact parentage. The genetics create a balanced hybrid that typically expresses as either a 60/40 indica-dominant or balanced 50/50 hybrid, depending on the phenotype.
707 Headband is renowned for producing a unique sensation that users describe as wearing a tight-fitting headband around the forehead, giving the strain its distinctive name. The buds are typically medium-sized with a light green coloration and are heavily coated in crystalline trichomes. During flowering, the plant may display attractive purple and red fan leaves. The strain's aroma profile combines pungent skunk notes with hints of pine, diesel, and citrus undertones, particularly lemon. This complex bouquet reflects its diverse genetic heritage and contributes to its popularity among both recreational and medical cannabis users. The strain has gained widespread recognition across the United States and Canada, particularly thriving in West Coast and Colorado markets.

Growing Information
707 Headband is considered moderately difficult to grow, making it more suitable for intermediate to experienced cultivators. The strain has a flowering time of 9-11 weeks indoors and typically finishes in mid to late October for outdoor growers in the Northern Hemisphere. Indoor yields range from 450-550 grams per square meter (17-24 ounces), while outdoor plants can produce 24-35 ounces per plant under optimal conditions. The strain prefers warm, dry Mediterranean-style climates with temperatures between 70-85°F (21-29°C) during the day. It requires well-draining soil with slightly acidic to neutral pH (6.0-7.0) and benefits from high-quality lighting systems indoors. The plant tends to double in size during flowering and produces dense, resin-coated buds. Proper ventilation is essential due to its strong, pungent aroma. The strain is relatively resistant to mold and moisture issues but requires consistent watering and nutrient management throughout its growth cycle.
