Also known as: Blueberry Headband, Blue Headband
Overview
Blue Band is a hybrid cannabis strain originating from Northern California, created by crossing two iconic strains: Blueberry and Headband. This strain represents a sophisticated fusion of genetics that combines the sweet, fruity characteristics of the legendary Blueberry strain with the potent cerebral effects of Headband. The strain exhibits predominantly indica characteristics (approximately 70% indica / 30% sativa), making it well-suited for evening use while still providing some uplifting mental stimulation. Blue Band produces dense, resinous buds that develop beautiful blue and purple hues during the flowering phase, particularly when exposed to cooler temperatures. The strain's appearance is characterized by its compact structure and abundant trichome production, creating visually striking flowers that live up to its colorful name. This cultivar has gained recognition for its therapeutic potential and balanced effects that appeal to both recreational and medical cannabis users.
