2025 Sungrown Rebel Grown Description LINEAGE: (OG Chem X OG Sour) F5 MORE THAN A DECADE IN THE MAKING: FULL STORY: Island Mountain Headband, a Rebel Grown history: Headband market influence: By 2010 it was hard for many Humboldt farmers to sell anything besides OG Kush or Sour Diesel. The Purple craze was winding down and buyers from LA’s massive market only wanted OG Kush, while on the East Coast, New York buyers only wanted Sour Diesel. But OG wasn’t a vigorous plant and was challenging to get a decent yield outdoors. It didn’t have much stretch and didn’t do well in large pots or holes in the ground that were common at the time with many small farmers. Most dep was small scale back then and was almost all OG. Sour Diesel was vigorous with lots of stretch and had good mold resistance. You could grow it big, but it’s a long flowering plant, and needed to go until the first week of November to be grown to full maturity and properly develop its flavors and potency. Even when grown correctly the flower wasn’t very dense. Headband was the perfect balance between OG Kush and Sour Diesel. It was more vigorous than OG and earlier finishing than Sour. It was frosty and dense, and most importantly, gassy! It could be sold top dollar to LA buyers as OG Kush, or NY buyers as Sour Diesel, and neither could tell the difference. My experience/early breeding selections with Headband: The first Farm I worked on in Humboldt in 2009 was growing mostly Headband. One of my first tasks growing weed in California was staking up large outdoor Headband plants, tying up branches with string and green plant tape, and de-leafing them. Over the next few years I got to know the clone well, growing hundreds of pounds of Headband each year from 2011-2016. In 2011 in the Palo Verde on Island Mountain rd I started making seeds and breeding with the Headband clone, making several outcrosses, and was selling clones to growers in the area. I tested the new Headband seed hybrids in 2012 and was very impressed and excited about the quality and greasy gassy dominant traits in the plants. I made notes for my breeding and future records and took photos of the Headband clones leaf and branc
