War Heads is a hybrid cannabis strain with up to 28.0% THC, known for its euphoric effects and chemical and citrus flavor profile.
War Heads is a potent hybrid cannabis strain developed by Fresh Coast Seed Company, known for its exceptionally high THC content and distinctive flavor profile. The strain was created by crossing two legendary parent strains: Headband and Sour Diesel. This genetic combination results in a plant that inherits the cerebral effects of Sour Diesel and the physical relaxation of Headband, creating a well-balanced hybrid experience. The strain gained popularity in the early 2010s and has since become a favorite among experienced cannabis consumers seeking intense effects.
Visually, War Heads typically produces dense, resinous buds with a vibrant green coloration often accented by purple hues and bright orange pistils. The flowers are usually medium to large in size and covered in a thick layer of trichomes, giving them a frosty appearance. The strain's name references both its genetic lineage and its powerful effects, which some users describe as 'explosive' or 'intense.' War Heads is particularly noted for its pungent aroma that combines fuel-like notes with citrus undertones.

The plants tend to have a relatively short flowering time for a hybrid of its potency, typically maturing in 8-9 weeks indoors. Outdoor growers in suitable climates can expect harvests around mid-October. The strain has gained recognition in cannabis competitions and has been featured in various cannabis publications for its unique characteristics and powerful effects.
