Headshot Strain Overview
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.

Headshot Strain Growing Information
Indoor cultivation only recommended, especially in northern climates. Flowering time is 60-65 days with plants stretching approximately 267% during flower from 55cm to 65cm. High yield potential with a rating of 7/10 for indoor production. Plants require careful attention to air circulation and cleanliness to prevent mold issues common with dense indica buds. Not recommended for outdoor growing in wet climates due to mold susceptibility and late finishing time. Harvest when trichomes shift from clear to milky-white with some amber for peak potency.
