CHANGE YOUR STRAIN

Papa's Candy

plf, I'm gonna use your October What are you listening to thread for this month's weekends but I'll use botb's thread for midweek listening. Enjoy

Aright, man. Glad to see the dry spell is over.

Sherbet Cookies

I'll stick with SD 

thanks

I was just notified by the Chi Chi Lady I can stick to my strain, Martian Candy. My new favorite one.  I veered away from SFV OG.

My all time favorite of 2017 was Sunset Sherbert.

Blue Cheese maybe next time.

Damn, the Chi Chi Lady has many flowers right now, more than I’ve seen so far!

Deadhead OG

Whatever my guy has 

Oh shit weed snob shots fired 

Besides the good ol' favs, we also grew Durban Poison this year - still a li'l more curing needed, but purty nice even when a bit raw.

Stink Foot OG

Never did try that Blue Cheese

I drive 49 between Auburn and Nevada City every day, and this time of year the smell is as strong as driving through Gilroy right before garlic harvest.

That's what they call the duff at the bottom of pounds, sold as wholesale at dispenseries. 

I hear that “headband” is “really good” can anyone concur

As one who has spent the majority of my life between Salinas and Monterey, I have an olifactory image in my mind from that statement.  Smells good!

>>>>I hear that “headband” is “really good” can anyone concur 

I would like to know that too.

I've been smoking some low cost stuff for over a month, and was very happy.

I'll be upgrading next time around.

Where is plf9905 ?

Long time no see.

plf, If you see this stop in, say hello & report what you are smoking.

>>>>r the smell is as strong as driving through Gilroy right before garlic harvest. 

I hear the road between Grants Pass, OR and Williams, OR has peculiar olfactory hues. 

Headband is a solid strain - as the name implies, it feels as if the high is wrapped around your head ( so they say in the description ) i cant say that i felt like my head was compressed by it but i did enjoy the ride as the kids say

peace

Headband is great as is most every strain when not grown by some half ass Johnny come lately growers. Growers matter greed merchants not so much!

Headband

Meet Headband, the love-child of cannabis’ power couple, OG Kush and Sour Diesel. The smooth, creamy smoke is accented by flavors of lemons and diesel while the long-lasting effects are great for pain relief, helping you to relax, and to combat elevated stress levels. Many report that the effects create a slight pressure around the crown of their head and feels as though they are wearing a headband. The effects have been known to come on slow, so pace yourself with this potent hybrid.

Overview

Headband is an iconic indica hybrid that draws on some solid cannabis genetics to offer buds with visual “bag appeal” and a potent stoney high. Although the name Headband may conjure up images of hippies in decorative headgear, it actually refers to the sensation of pressure that builds up around the user’s temples as this strain’s THC dilates blood vessels in the face.

Headband is a cross between staple strains OG Kush, Master Kush, and Sour Diesel. All of these indica heavy hitters endow Headband with a high THC content -- it has been measured at between 20% and an impressive 27%. Some sources claim that Headband was developed by Colorado-based breeders Reserva Privada -- who are also responsible for tasty strains like Kandy Kush and Strawberry Banana. Still others attest to an origin in 707 Headband, a grassroots strain developed in the cannabis promised land of Humboldt County, California; breeders DNA Genetics claim to have studied this “707” strain and recreated its likely genetic profile to produce Headband.

Buds of Headband are small and are more like nuggets than dense, spade-like cones. The leaves are an even, pale green, although some plant phenotypes have a higher propensity for shades of purple (the result of cold temperatures activating anthocyanin compounds during the vegetative period). As might be expected of a strain with such high THC, Headband flowers are covered in silvery-white trichomes and are sticky to the touch -- this is one strain that proves difficult to breakup for joints or pipes without using a grinder. The initial smell of the cured flowers is tangy and lemony. Underneath these dominant scents is a faint skunkiness, along with some notes of pine. Unlike some other indicas -- particularly OGs -- Headband produces smoke that is thick but surprisingly smooth. This smoke has a rounded, creamy mouthfeel and tastes citrusy when inhaled. On the exhale, a more diesel, chemical funk is present. The overall taste sensation is of lemon-scented cleaning fluid that hits the user at the front of the palate.

The high from Headband mounts slowly, with some users reporting that they may not notice effects for up to 20 minutes after consuming. With very little sativa effects, Headband induces a spacey, foggy state that makes it poorly suited to tasks that require focus and mental acuity. In addition to this fogginess, Headband gives users a physically weighty feeling that spreads down through the spine and radiates out to the limbs, comfortably locking them into supine position. This sense of couchlock makes Headband ideal for passive activities in comfortable surroundings, like watching movies or listening to music. It could also serve as inspiration for some general creative thinking. The psychedelic sense of disconnection from one’s own body makes Headband a potential aphrodisiac as well.

Medically speaking, Headband’s powerful sedative properties serve as a remedy for mild anxiety and, in large enough doses, for chronic insomnia. Fans of the strain have also reported improvement in symptoms associated with migraines and muscle spasms. Headband has been known to provoke appetite, making it a supplementary treatment for users suffering from decreased hunger due to disease or chemotherapy. Negative side effects include a feeling of dizziness, drymouth, and -- thanks to the same expansion of blood vessels that causes this strain’s trademark facial pressure -- red eyes. The high from Headband is said to last longer than average, even in users with a relatively high tolerance for THC.

Perhaps because of its sturdy genetic profile, Headband produces versatile plants that can be grown by those with limited to moderate experience. It is not as vulnerable as many other strains to mold or disease; it can also withstand some degree of temperature variation. This heartiness makes Headband a solid outdoor crop in warm temperate climates. Headband can also be easily grown indoors: its plants have a characteristic indica shape, with a shorter than average height and a bushy silhouette. In order to let light reach low-growing flowering nodes, growers should attempt to trim any broad fan leaves -- but they may not find many, due to this strain’s low leaf-to-bud ratio. Grown indoors, Headband flowers within 10 to 11 weeks. It produces higher than average yields. Finally, because it is so skunky and potent, growers of Headband may want to take some extra caution with plants -- isolating outdoor growing locations and installing odor control measures indoor growing environments.

Headband is a potent strain that will please cannabis novices and enthusiasts alike. Providing the best of what indicas have to offer, it’s a surefire path to relaxation, mild creativity, and an overall trippy good time, either alone or in the company of good friends. Although it has an appealing citrus flavor, this novelty doesn’t come at the expense of genetic stability or potency as with many new crossbreeds in the cannabis market today. Headband’s high trichome composition also makes it an easy choice for the production of hash and other THC concentrates.

No weed is worth reading about. 

Red Congolese, also known as Congo - 6000 year old strain from pygmies in Africa - 16 week flower (!!)

Nothing like it. Nothing.

Red Congolese had the black oil syringes 4 years ago but Larry OG was way better.

Then again I'm more of indica guy. Sativa in the daytime.

<<<<<No weed is worth reading about. 

Oh Sloaker that's Knoteso

>>>>6000 year old strain from pygmies in Africa

^^^^^^smoking quaaludes

>>No weed is worth reading about. 

Ok then, Slax. Tell us about the times you saw Jerry. Since that want take long, we can quickly go back to reading/writing about weed. 

Start a thread about Jerry or post some photos of your imaginary homegrown, skip. 

Two lbs of imaginary. Add that to your notes, freak. 

Write a little more about it if it's worth reading about. Or don't. Weed ain't worth writing or reading about. 

Makes me wonder why you post here at all. Ever. 

It's partially entertaining after a few rips. 

Custie up. 

>Custie up. 

says the biggest wannabe here

Who asked you, Gunner?

>gunner

how many brain cells do you have left?

Wannabe like Brochie, posting all day between nods. Wanna wanna wanna. 

pocahontas lol

That slur’s all you got? The best your addled mind can do?

come on man

put me in my place 

you internet hero 

You put yourself there, Gunner. I can do no better than you’ve done on your own. 

^^^^pocahontas

Trumpchacho

you're a fool bro 

>>No weed is worth reading about.

I have no weed, it's unique these days, can't find many folks writing about it.  Maybe worth reading about it. Not sure.

"Down to seeds and stems again too."

lol whats a seed?

It's a great song though.

One of our plants this year was a seedling - from a 1993 seed we had stored in the fridge. Turned out to be one of the best.

053 CLONAL DECLINE IN HORTICULTURAL CROPS DUE TO MULLER'S RATCHET

Neil O. Anderson and Peter D. Ascher

Department of Horticultural Science, University of Minnesota, St. Paul, MN 55108

Abstract

It should be possible to maintain horticultural clones unchanged forever through asexual generations, as commercial propagators and clonal repositories maintain clonal integrity, disease-free stock plants, or remove mutations. However, unintentional selection for nonhorticultural traits could still be occurring. Accumulations of such traits would be due to the operation of Muller's ratchet and include fertility losses, increases in virus titer, and stunted growth habit

Beautiful photo of a beautiful plant! Really.

thanks, judit.

Awesome. P.heat.  Do you like the purple like buds?

Finally got some in - Sour Banana Sherbert

i like it all, man, for the most part. as long as it's clean, flavorful, and very powerful. 

We get a new strain for Christmas!
