Blockhead BX
Also known as: Blockhead Backcross
Blockhead BX Strain Overview
Blockhead BX is a stabilized backcross of the original Blockhead strain, developed to preserve and enhance its distinctive characteristics. The strain traces its lineage to the legendary Blockhead, which emerged in the late 1990s as a potent indica-dominant hybrid known for its heavy effects and unique appearance. Breeders created the BX (backcross) version by crossing exceptional Blockhead phenotypes back to the original parent stock, resulting in a more consistent expression of the strain's most desirable traits while maintaining genetic stability.
The strain is characterized by its dense, chunky buds that often develop a deep purple coloration, especially when exposed to cooler temperatures during flowering. The flowers are typically covered in a thick layer of trichomes, giving them a frosty appearance. Blockhead BX plants exhibit a compact, bushy growth structure typical of indica varieties, with broad leaves and strong lateral branching. The strain's name references both the blocky shape of its buds and the potent, head-focused effects for which it is known.
Notable features include its complex aroma profile that combines sweet, fruity notes with earthy undertones, and its reputation for producing powerful, long-lasting effects. While not as widely available as some commercial strains, Blockhead BX maintains a dedicated following among connoisseurs who appreciate its classic genetics and reliable performance. The backcrossing process has helped preserve the strain's original characteristics while improving consistency across different growing environments.

Blockhead BX Strain Growing Information
Blockhead BX is considered a moderate-difficulty strain to cultivate, suitable for growers with some experience. The plants have a flowering time of approximately 8-9 weeks when grown indoors. Outdoor harvest typically occurs in late September to early October in northern hemisphere climates. The strain performs well in both indoor and outdoor environments, though indoor cultivation allows better control over temperature to enhance purple coloration.
Indoor yields are typically moderate to high, with plants producing 400-500 grams per square meter under optimal conditions. Outdoor plants can yield 500-700 grams per plant in suitable climates. The plants remain relatively compact, usually reaching 90-120 cm indoors and 150-180 cm outdoors. Blockhead BX responds well to training techniques like topping and low-stress training to maximize yield. The plants prefer stable temperatures and moderate humidity, with particular attention needed during late flowering to prevent mold in dense buds. Nutrient requirements are moderate, with some growers reporting sensitivity to overfeeding.
