Bandz
Also known as: Bands, Bandz OG
Bandz Strain Overview
Bandz is a relatively modern hybrid cannabis strain that has gained popularity in the West Coast cannabis scene, particularly in California. The strain's exact origins are somewhat obscure, with multiple breeders claiming development, but it appears to have emerged in the early 2010s as part of the "designer strain" movement. The name "Bandz" is believed to be a reference to money bands or rubber bands used to bundle cash, reflecting the strain's reputation for being a premium, high-value product.
The strain is characterized by dense, chunky buds that are typically forest green with vibrant orange pistils and a heavy coating of frosty trichomes. The buds often have a sticky, resinous texture that makes them difficult to break apart by hand. Bandz plants tend to be medium in height with a bushy structure, displaying traits from both its indica and sativa lineage. The strain has gained particular attention for its potent effects and complex aromatic profile.
Notable features include its distinctive terpene profile that combines fuel-like undertones with sweeter, fruitier notes. The strain's appearance is often described as "commercial-grade" due to its dense bud structure and impressive trichome coverage. While not as widely documented as some classic strains, Bandz has developed a dedicated following among connoisseurs who appreciate its balanced effects and unique flavor combination.

Bandz Strain Growing Information
Bandz is considered a moderate-difficulty strain to cultivate, suitable for growers with some experience. The flowering time is approximately 8-9 weeks indoors, with outdoor harvest typically occurring in mid to late October in northern hemisphere climates. Plants tend to be medium in height, reaching 3-5 feet indoors and 4-6 feet outdoors. Yield is moderate to high, with indoor growers reporting 14-18 ounces per square meter under optimal conditions. The strain performs well in both indoor and outdoor environments but prefers a controlled indoor setting where temperature and humidity can be carefully managed. Bandz plants benefit from regular pruning and training techniques like topping or LST (low-stress training) to maximize yield and light penetration. The strain has moderate resistance to common pests and molds but requires good air circulation to prevent bud rot in dense colas.
