Overview
Blockhead is an indica dominant hybrid (65% indica/35% sativa) strain formerly known as Buruandi from the infamous Genehtik Seeds farms. The genetics of Blockhead are shrouded in secrecy by its breeders, although it is well-known that it is a cross between Sweet Tooth X another mystery strain. This Indica-dominant strain, created by Spice of Life Seeds, is a hybrid of an unknown female cultivar and a Sweet Tooth male. Block Head »»» Pakistani Landrace P19 x Sweet Tooth. The strain emerged in the late 1990s and early 2000s in the Pacific Northwest and British Columbia cannabis scene, where growers prized it for its unique characteristics.
The Blockhead buds have large, oversized extremely dense nugs that are dark olive green with deep purple undertones and thin translucent amber hairs. These nugs are leafy and covered in a thin layer of milky white almost-translucent trichomes. Blockhead gets its name from its intensely stupefying mind and body effects as well as its 17-23% average THC level. Blockhead has a strong aroma of spicy earth and a taste of herbal earth with a hint of spice upon exhale. The strain's name references both its dense, blocky bud structure and the profound mental effects it produces, often leaving users feeling heavily sedated and "block-headed."
