Headband Strain Overview
Headband, or “Sour Kush,” as it is also known, is a fairly balanced cultivar created by DNA Genetics. Its parents, OG Kush and Sour Diesel, give the Headband weed strain its citrus-earthy flavor. Many say it is named aptly after its most recognizable effect, a “headband” feeling around the head after consuming it.
Diesel and lemon flavors provide instant palatable pleasure, while the potent THC percentage, ranging from 17% to 27%, may provide a powerful cerebral and physical massage.
