Headshot
What is the Headshot strain?
Headshot is a indica cannabis strain with up to 19.5% THC, known for its body high effects and floral and fruity flavor profile.
Headshot is an indica-dominant strain developed by Alpha Genetics in the mid-2010s, created from a cross of Afghan/Skunk and Skunk #1. This mostly indica variety represents Alpha Genetics' commitment to revisiting classic indica strains while integrating modern genetics. The strain emerged as one of the most talked-about creations from Alpha Genetics' laboratory, consistently demonstrating superior resin production and a complex terpene profile that sets it apart from other indica-dominant strains on the market.
The buds are characterized as very hard and compact with an excellent bud-to-leaf ratio, featuring dense, resinous structure typical of classic indica genetics. Two distinct phenotypes have been identified - a lemon phenotype and a hash phenotype - which primarily differ in flavor profile while maintaining similar effects. The strain requires indoor cultivation in northern European climates due to its compact bud structure making it susceptible to mold outdoors, where it would not finish before early November. Users report that casual consumers often describe the effects as particularly intense, with the body feeling locked to the couch while thoughts drift freely.
