Blueberry Headband
Blueberry Headband
Also known as: Blue Headband
Overview
Blueberry Headband is an indica-dominant hybrid cannabis strain developed by Emerald Triangle Seeds that represents a complex genetic fusion rather than a simple cross. This strain combines the genetics of '76 Blueberry, Emerald OG Kush, California Sour Diesel, and Pre-98 Bubba Kush, creating a sophisticated polyhybrid with balanced effects. The strain typically exhibits a 70% indica to 30% sativa ratio, though some sources report it as a 50/50 hybrid. Blueberry Headband produces medium to large, chunky buds with dense indica structure and tightly-packed leaves in vibrant shades of yellow-green threaded with orange pistils. The flowers develop a honey-colored sheen from abundant translucent amber trichomes that cover both inner and outer surfaces.
The strain offers a complex aromatic profile that begins with sweet berry undertones characteristic of its Blueberry heritage, complemented by diesel overtones from the Sour Diesel lineage and a peppery bite contributed by the Pre-98 Bubba genetics. Pine and citrus notes add additional depth to the fragrance. Known for its vigorous vegetative growth and tight internodal stacking, Blueberry Headband produces long, large colas and is considered a high-yielding variety. The strain demonstrates notable resistance to mold, mildew, and powdery mildew, making it suitable for both indoor and outdoor cultivation with a flowering period of 8-10 weeks.

Growing Information
Blueberry Headband is considered suitable for beginner growers with moderate growing difficulty. The strain exhibits vigorous vegetative growth and requires space to reach its full potential, with plants capable of reaching 300cm outdoors. Indoor cultivation requires height management through pruning and training methods like LST (Low Stress Training), mainlining, and topping. The flowering period ranges from 8-10 weeks (63-70 days), with outdoor harvest typically occurring in early October. This strain is a high yielder known for producing large, resinous colas and responds well to SCROG (Screen of Green) methods. Growers report yields of 220g+ per plant when grown properly. The strain prefers full sun outdoors with well-draining, nutrient-rich soil and requires pH levels between 6.0-6.5. During vegetative stage, use nitrogen-rich fertilizers, switching to phosphorus and potassium-heavy nutrients during flowering. The strain demonstrates high resistance to mold, mildew, and powdery mildew, making it suitable for various growing environments. Indoor operations should consider odor control measures as this strain can be particularly pungent.
