ETHOS Headband
Also known as: Headband OG, Original Headband
What is the ETHOS Headband strain?
ETHOS Headband is a hybrid cannabis strain with up to 27.0% THC, known for its relaxed effects and citrus and diesel flavor profile.
ETHOS Headband is a modern interpretation of the classic Headband strain developed by ETHOS Genetics, a prominent cannabis breeding company. This strain traces its lineage to the original Headband OG, which itself is believed to be a cross between OG Kush and Sour Diesel, though some sources suggest additional genetic contributions from Master Kush. ETHOS Genetics refined this cultivar through selective breeding to enhance its desirable characteristics while maintaining the signature effects that gave the strain its name.
The strain is characterized by dense, resinous buds that display a vibrant green coloration with occasional purple hues, often accented by bright orange pistils and a thick coating of trichomes. The plant structure typically exhibits hybrid characteristics with moderate height and branching. ETHOS Headband is particularly noted for its complex aromatic profile and the distinctive 'headband' effect—a sensation of pressure around the temples and forehead that many users describe as feeling like wearing a headband.
As a stabilized cultivar from a reputable breeder, ETHOS Headband offers more consistent growth patterns and effects compared to some phenotype variations of the original Headband. The strain has gained popularity among both recreational users and medical cannabis patients for its balanced effects and reliable performance. While ETHOS Genetics has provided detailed information about their version, some cannabis historians note that the exact genetic lineage of all Headband varieties remains somewhat debated within the cannabis community.

How do you grow ETHOS Headband?
ETHOS Headband is considered a moderate difficulty strain suitable for growers with some experience. The plants typically flower in 8-10 weeks indoors and are ready for harvest by late September to early October outdoors. Indoor yields average 400-500 grams per square meter, while outdoor plants can produce 500-600 grams per plant under optimal conditions. The strain performs well in both indoor and outdoor environments but prefers a Mediterranean-like climate with consistent temperatures. Plants typically reach a medium height of 100-150 cm indoors and 150-200 cm outdoors.
