Overview
A 60/40 Sativa Indica hybrid without the long wait time, this is what all hybrids should be. Renowned for its strength Headband OG is definitely not for the fainthearted as THC levels for this strain have been measured at over 27%. The name refers to the sensation of pressure around the head and behind the eyes that many users experience; although it may also be a nod to the traditional hippy headgear.
Strain Effects
This strain is felt in very firmly, very quickly. On the first long toke and intense fog fills your head physically bringing on a sensation of pressure. Your mind is still reasonably clear as the sativa aspect of the genetics maintain some mental clarity even as the body effects take fully hold. With further use a more deeply sedating calm will wash over you, helping to relieve aches and pains, and soothe away stress
Growing info
Despite the Sativa dominance (60/40), it finishes like an indica and can be ready in just 9-10 weeks under optimal conditions. The yields are medium to high depending on setup, but are more than made up for by the strength and potency. The branch distancing is medium so light penetration is quite good and can be improved with only a little training and trimming. The growth structure is spread across multiple branches so it is an ideal Scrog strain.
Appearance and Aroma
The overall shape of Headband OG is a classic hybrid Christmas tree. The leaves a quite wide without being rounded and tend towards a slightly dully dark green. The buds a dense and clustered rather thank being one single cola. The aroma in veg is a mild pine and skunk mix. As the plant moves in top flowering stage this smell becomes very pronounced and can be very potent in a small grow space, so make sure it is well ventilated and odour neutralizers are used if privacy is a concern.
MSNL Editors Verdict
As high strength strains go this is one of the best. A very strong head and body stone that is a great all round stress reliever. Headband OG is a solid yielder with a great earthy skunk taste. This strain is not for beginners of those with a low tolerance as it packs a real punch.
| THC CONTENT | 19%-22% | |
| FLOWERING TIME | 8-10 WEEKS | |
| TYPE / OUTDOOR | INDOOR/OUTDOOR | |
| OUTDOOR HARVEST | LATE SEPTEMBER | |
| PLANT HEIGHT | MEDIUM 100cm-180cm | |
| YIELD | 400-500 g/m2 |
The first thing you smell with this strain is an acrid mix of diesel fuel and pine scents, which although strong is really quite tasty. When you taste it the same flavours abound but in a very smooth warming way. The medical effects of Headband OG are quite strong as it is an excellent pain reliever but does not leave you with a a couch lock feeling that immobilises you. A solid head high will spread through your limbs with an active body buzz before the head felling intensifies once again giving the trademark "headband" sensation.

"Take it easy."
Review by Oweeeeeee
What a strain!! Nice diesel smell with a hint of pine. Took a few days for the system to get used to it but now a couple tokes in the morning and I'm right until after lunch. My house is clean and I feel energetic. Thanks for this one MSNL. This is in my #1 strain.

"Sweet, sweet treat"
Review by 1Smoke
This is a really nice strain. I found it didn't really help me with my anxiety, but I think the CBD content is a little lower. Still nice and sweet, and a really nice smoke.

This probably isn't in my top three strains, but I'll still smoke it if given the chance. This definitely gets an honorable mention from me.

"Take it easy, serious creeper weed"
Review by John
I find Headband OG to be very relaxing, but the high comes on super slow, so you've gotta be careful with this kind of creeper. Wait a bit before toking again, or you'll be useless the rest of the day.

"Helps with distress"
Review by Andy
I'm a very anxious guy and it's only recently I tried some headband OG. I immediately felt at ease. So I bought some seeds last week and within five days it came in the post.
