About Headbanger

Headbanger is a hybrid crossed from Biker Kush and sativa favorite Sour Diesel. It was created by Karma Genetics, the same breeders responsible for award-winning strains like Dominator and Happy Kush. So named for its genetic similarity to the legendary strain Headband, Headbanger offers users a strong, clearheaded high and a robust OG flavor. Its potency won it the title of Third Best Sativa in the 2013 High Times Cannabis Cup and Second Best Sativa in the 2015 IC 420 Growers Cup in Amsterdam. Its THC content has been measured at between 20% and 28%.

Headbanger has small to medium-sized flowers that cling together in dense, popcorn-like clusters. This strain’s Kush genetics are plainly seen in its thick, solid buds, composed of resinous, densely-packed leaves. These curly leaves are a bright shade of lime green and are threaded through with hairy, rust-colored pistils. The flowers are dusted with milky-white trichomes, accounting for Headbanger’s psychoactivity and giving a very sticky texture. Sour Diesel’s lineage is immediately apparent as a faintly chemical, fuel-like tang that emanates from the cured flowers. This diesel smell mixes with a sharp, skunky odor. Grinding up or breaking the buds yields notes of sweet citrus. Headbanger burns with a smoke that is surprisingly smooth, considering its hashy flavor profile. On the exhale, this strain has the sour-sweet taste of overripe fruit. Anyone smoking in public should keep in mind that this is a particularly pungent variety; those concerned with discretion should take any necessary precautions.
