Also known as: Head Stomper OG, Head Stomper Kush
Head Stomper Strain Overview
Head Stomper is a potent hybrid cannabis strain that emerged in the early 2010s from the Pacific Northwest region of the United States. The strain was developed by breeders seeking to create a powerful, cerebral experience with strong physical relaxation. While its exact origins remain somewhat obscure in cannabis breeding circles, it gained popularity through the medical cannabis community before reaching recreational markets in legalized states. The name 'Head Stomper' references its reputation for delivering intense, sometimes overwhelming psychoactive effects, particularly for inexperienced consumers.
Visually, Head Stomper plants produce dense, resinous buds with a distinctive appearance. The flowers typically display deep forest green coloration with occasional purple hues that emerge under cooler nighttime temperatures during cultivation. Bright orange pistils weave through the compact bud structure, while a thick coating of trichomes gives the flowers a frosty, crystalline appearance. The buds are known for their exceptional resin production, making them popular among concentrate producers and hash makers.
Head Stomper is characterized by its complex aromatic profile and powerful effects. The strain has gained a reputation among experienced cannabis consumers for its balanced yet intense experience that combines cerebral stimulation with deep physical relaxation. While not as widely commercially available as some mainstream strains, it maintains a dedicated following in certain cannabis communities, particularly among those seeking strong therapeutic effects or profound psychoactive experiences.

Head Stomper Strain Growing Information
Head Stomper is considered a moderately difficult strain to cultivate, better suited for growers with some experience. The plants typically flower in 8-10 weeks indoors and are ready for harvest by mid to late 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 prefers a controlled indoor environment but can thrive outdoors in Mediterranean climates with consistent temperatures. Plants tend to be medium to tall in height, often reaching 5-6 feet outdoors, requiring some height management indoors. Special considerations include maintaining stable humidity levels during flowering to prevent mold in the dense buds, and providing adequate support for heavy colas. The plants respond well to training techniques like topping and low-stress training to maximize yield and manage height.
