Decapitation
Also known as: Decap, Headless
Decapitation Strain Overview
Decapitation is a relatively rare hybrid cannabis strain that emerged in the early 2010s from underground breeding circles. The strain's exact origins remain somewhat obscure, with most information coming from grower forums and anecdotal reports rather than established seed banks. Breeders reportedly developed Decapitation by crossing potent indica and sativa genetics to create a balanced hybrid with distinctive effects and appearance. The name references both the strain's powerful effects and the appearance of its dense, tightly packed buds that seem to 'decapitate' from their stems when harvested.
The strain is characterized by medium to large-sized plants that typically display a mix of indica and sativa growth patterns. Decapitation plants develop dense, conical buds with a frosty trichome coating that gives them a silvery-white appearance. The flowers often exhibit deep purple hues, particularly in cooler growing conditions, contrasted by vibrant orange pistils. The foliage tends toward dark green with occasional purple pigmentation in the leaves. The strain's visual appeal is one of its most notable features, with buds that are often described as photogenic and resinous.
Decapitation has gained a cult following among experienced cannabis enthusiasts who appreciate its complex terpene profile and balanced effects. While not widely available through commercial dispensaries, it has maintained popularity in certain regional markets and among home growers. The strain's rarity means that verified information is limited, and much of what is known comes from grower communities rather than formal laboratory testing or breeding documentation.

Decapitation Strain Growing Information
Decapitation is considered a moderate-difficulty strain to cultivate, better suited for growers with some experience. The plants typically flower in 8-10 weeks indoors and are ready for outdoor harvest in late September to early October. Indoor yields average 400-500 grams per square meter, while outdoor plants can produce 500-600 grams per plant under optimal conditions. The strain prefers a controlled indoor environment but can adapt to outdoor growing in Mediterranean climates. Plants reach medium height (100-150 cm indoors, 150-200 cm outdoors) and benefit from training techniques like topping and low-stress training to manage height and improve light penetration. Decapitation is somewhat sensitive to humidity and requires good airflow to prevent mold in its dense buds. Nutrient requirements are moderate, with some growers reporting sensitivity to nitrogen during flowering.
