3 Highlights of Headband

Introduction 

Headband Strain is an indica dominant hybrid with potent cerebral effects. It delivers a pressure-like sensation ‘brain fog’ across the forehead hence the name ‘Headband’. The strain is primarily focused on serious relaxation and treating a broad range of health issues using its unique wave of cerebral head buzz and indica-heavy effects. Its strong effects kick in instantaneously, leaving the user in a great mood and deeply relaxed.  

The 60% Indica / 40% Sativa is a cross of two well-known strains namely OG Kush and Sour Diesel. Its THC levels range between 17% and 19.5% on average and a sizable amount of CBD of less than 0.5%. This hybrid is therefore perfect for medical issues that respond to THC. 

Effects of Headband Cannabis Strain

Users love Headband for its strong indica effects. Its potent effects are long-lasting and tend to kick in almost immediately, leaving the user well-relaxed and in a perfect state of mind. Its high begins with a warm sensation around the forehead that feels like a headband. The effects delivered by this weed strain vary and build up the more you smoke. At the onset, this hybrid delivers a unique sense of euphoric head high that makes you feel like you’re flying in the clouds. You’ll feel inspired to come up with some awesome ideas and your creativity will skyrocket. 

As the high intensifies, you’ll experience an out of this world contemplative high. Your tense muscles will relax and all your stress will fade away. A few more puffs and you may find yourself perfectly couch-locked for hours on end. 

Appearance, Aroma & Flavor of Headband Weed Strain

Headband has a unique set of flavors and aromas. Its buds are chunky with an easily noticeable fragrance. These beautiful nugs are guaranteed to excite your taste buds with their slight diesel undertone with notes of earthy and tangy. 

When it comes to flavor, Headband doesn’t disappoint. The hybrid produces a very special flavor profile of sweet lemon with small notes of diesel and tangy. When smoked, this incredible bud leaves a tangy aftertaste lingering in the mouth and small hints of earthiness and lavender to it.  

Going by the hundreds of reviews online, Headband is truly a uniquely flavorful hybrid. People adore this flower not only for its potency but also its awesome combination of flavors. 

Grow Info

Headband is moderately easy to cultivate for both experienced and novice growers. The strain can be cultivated both indoors and outdoors, and can really thrive under the perfect conditions.  Headband demands a sunny warm climate for maximum yields. Importantly, it needs to be protected from excessive rain, especially when cultivated in wet environments. 

In order to make sure your growing baby pot plants are in the best shape and health, you’re advised to monitor the humidity levels of the growing environment. Additionally, make sure frost doesn’t interfere with the growth and development of the growing plants. 

Flowering time is somewhere between 9 to 10 weeks on average. Under the right conditions, growers can expect approximately 18 to 21 ounces of high quality flower per square meter. 

Medical Uses of Headband Strain

Headband is a highly effective pain reliever. It delivers very strong effects that can fight chronic pain, migraines, and headaches. It can also treat a myriad of mental disorders including anxiety, depression, and ADD/ADHD. 

Thanks to its strongly relaxing effects, the hybrid makes for an effective sleep-aid. It can wash away stress and worries, and make you fall into a deep state of relaxation that slowly turns into a peaceful and uninterrupted sleep. 

Other medical uses of Headband include easing muscle spasms, cramps, nausea, seizures, and inflammation. 

Possible Side Effects

Due to its strong effects, Headband strain can induce severe side effects. For instance, the hybrid produces a severe case of the couch-lock that may leave you completely immobilized and a bit paralyzed. This, however, only occurs when you consume past your tolerance level.

Other side effects to expect include cottonmouth, dry eyes, itchy eyes, and bloodshot eyes. These reactions are totally normal and tend to fade away when you drink a lot of water. On rare occasions, Headband may induce dizziness and paranoia. 

Note that the severe side effects mentioned above only occur when you consume more than you can handle. We therefore recommend starting with a small dose and gradually increasing your dosage with time. 

Final Puff

In general, Headband is an excellent weed strain with a perfect mix of potency and fast-hitting effects. Its buds smell great and produce the ultimate high experience. Headband can treat a lot of minor and major illnesses including headaches, seizures, migraines, and depression.
