Headbanger Strain

Headbanger, also known as “Headbanger Kush,” is a Sativa-dominant hybrid marijuana strain created by crossing Sour Diesel with Biker Kush. Headbanger inherited its dense, conic bud structure and sour aroma from the Sour Diesel mother plant and its head-focused effects from the Biker Kush father plant. It originated in the California Bay Area circa 2012.

The effect of this strain is immediate and powerful. It’s a strong, long-lasting high that creates a clear-headed, relaxing, euphoric sensation described as cerebral and introspective, with users experiencing strong cerebral energy that sparks creativity.

Medical marijuana patients have reported Headbanger as very effective at relieving stress and tension, making it a great strain for consumers who suffer from anxiety or depression. It has also been found to help with ADD/ADHD, chronic stress, fatigue, headaches, and migraines.

The adverse effects of this strain include dry eyes, dry mouth, paranoia, dizziness, and increased blood pressure. The THC level of Headbanger is between 19 and 22%. It offers a sour aroma of blended earthy, sweet, and piney undertones that are complemented by hints of fuel, incense, and pepper. The taste is equally complex; users in the know have described it as earthy with strong peppery and floral overtones.

Headbanger is recommended for indoor cultivation only due to the high odor levels that are produced during flowering. Outdoor planting should be considered for Headbanger, as the strain is unlikely to survive if grown indoors. This strain requires a lengthy 12-week flowering period that could be extended to 15 weeks if plant training techniques are used during the vegetative stage. Headbanger is a plant with high resistance to pests and diseases.
