Block Head
Also known as: Blockhead
Block Head Strain Overview
Block Head is a hybrid cannabis strain developed by the breeder Subcool of TGA Genetics. The strain was created by crossing two legendary parent strains: Jack the Ripper and Deep Chunk. This combination resulted in a plant that exhibits characteristics from both its sativa and indica lineage, though it typically leans slightly toward the indica side in its effects. The name 'Block Head' reportedly comes from the strain's tendency to produce dense, block-shaped buds that are exceptionally resinous.
The strain gained popularity in the early 2000s and has maintained a cult following among cannabis enthusiasts. Block Head plants typically display a distinctive appearance with dark green leaves that may develop purple hues under cooler temperatures. The buds are known for their extreme density and heavy trichome coverage, giving them a frosty white appearance. The strain's aroma is complex, combining elements from both parent strains.
Block Head is recognized for its potent effects that begin with cerebral stimulation before transitioning to full-body relaxation. The strain has been praised for its resin production and has been used in breeding projects to enhance trichome density in other varieties. While not as widely available as some commercial strains, Block Head remains sought after by connoisseurs who appreciate its unique characteristics and heritage.

Block Head Strain Growing Information
Block Head is considered a moderate difficulty strain to cultivate. It has a flowering time of approximately 8-9 weeks when grown indoors. Outdoor plants are typically ready for harvest in late September to early October in the Northern Hemisphere. The strain prefers a warm, dry climate with good airflow to prevent mold issues due to its dense bud structure.
Indoor yields are typically moderate to high, with plants producing around 400-500 grams per square meter under optimal conditions. Outdoor plants can yield 500-600 grams per plant. The plants tend to stay relatively compact, reaching heights of 100-150 cm indoors and 150-200 cm outdoors. Block Head responds well to training techniques like topping and low-stress training to maximize yield and light penetration.
Special considerations include maintaining proper humidity control during flowering to prevent bud rot, as the dense buds can trap moisture. The plants benefit from a balanced nutrient regimen and may show nutrient sensitivity if overfed. Growers should provide adequate support for branches during late flowering as buds become heavy with resin.
