Headband, Sativa Dominant, 1g

Over the decades, landrace strains (the original, naturally occurring indica and sativa strains which grew in different parts of the world) have been selectively bred with each other to produce boutique strains with favorable qualities; primarily for unique flavors, high potency, and specific effects.

While there are balanced hybrids that are half indica and half sativa, most hybrid strains are either sativa-dominant or indica-dominant. Hybrid strains make it easier for users to select a marijuana strain that has the right balance of indica and sativa for their preference.

Headband has several origins, but it's most known for its cerebral effect that users compare to the feeling of wearing a headband. In addition to the heady high, users have reported feeling spacey, relaxed and euphoric.

Headband by DNA Genetics

Amsterdam’s DNA Genetics used an OG Kush male to pollinate a Sour Diesel female and create Headband, a short and bushy plant during the vegetative phase that makes the most of the available space during the flowering cycle. The strain creates small buds and benefits from aggressive training as a means of improving the plant’s yield.

Headband of Unknown Origin

Another origin of Headband is reportedly an indica-dominant cross between Sour Diesel and a Sensi Seeds Northern Lights cross. Once referred to as Daywrecker Diesel or Underdawg, this genetic combination joined together many commendable traits from its parents’ lineage. Headband was reportedly named Diesel #1 when an East Coast breeder known as Weasel first cultivated the strain in the mid-1990s.
