Headband OG
Headband OG
Also known as: Headband, HB, Sour Kush
Overview
Headband OG is a sativa dominant with an average of 20% THC, delivering strong pain relief as well as a head high which is powerful, but not overpowering. Headband OG takes its name from the fact that its effect starts with a powerful head high, felt clearly in the temples. This is then followed by the classic Indica stone, making this strain a real all-rounder and robust with it. The Headband strain is a result of crossing the legendary OG Kush and Sour Diesel varieties. By combining these two powerhouse strains, breeders were able to create a sensational and long-lasting high that is beloved by many. Although most people agree that Headband OG was bred in the U.S.A., opinion differs as to where and by whom. Some people believe it was developed in Colorado by Reserva Privada, while others think it comes from California. Most people agree that its main genetics comes from OG Kush and Sour Diesel, some people think that Master Kush is in there as well. There is also the possibility that Headband OG is a direct descendant of a strain called 707 Headband (which definitely comes from California), which in turn has the aforementioned Kush/Diesel genetics.

Growing Information
In principle, Headband OG will grow happily indoors or outdoors. In practice, the fact that it finishes outdoors around the middle of October, means that outdoor growing is only likely to be a practical option for people in the warmest and sunniest of climates, which is where this strain is happiest anyway. Indoors, it will flower in around nine to ten weeks. In line with its genetics, we'd describe Headband OG as being on the taller side of medium. Indoors it can stay as short as one metre, outdoors it can easily reach two. If you're operating in a tight grow space, then you'll need to be prepared to get to grips with plant training and that will mean either good gloves or sticky fingers as this strain produces a lot of resin. Don't be fooled by its compact dimensions in the early stages of the grow period. Once flowering starts, Headband OG will stretch like an elastic band. The 9-10 week flowering period demands light schedule adjustments for indoor cultivation, while outdoor growers should aim for warmer fall climates. Maintain humidity between 50%-70% for healthy development. The strain is considered moderately difficult to grow and benefits from training techniques like SCROG.
