This is the second thread in a row I've looked at where people are unknowingly growing mystery bud. I hate to burst your bubble but you were not growing headband if you started from seed. Headband is available by clone only. I'm not sure about Cali O but whoever told your seeds were headband was full of it. Regardless what strain that actually was, nice job. The quality looks nice.

So who was trying to tell you those seeds were headband? Hopefully it wasn't a seed bank. That would be some messed up false advertising.

There are some strains out there that are available by clone only like headband, GDP, and chemdog to name a few. There are a few chemdog seeds that still exist but they're about as rare as a unicorn, if they even do still exist.

Well....I won't do the usual and chastise you for not reading every post;-)

DST lives in Amsterdam, and got the original seed from Headband bud that he bought at a local coffee shop...he even gave us a picture of the menu!

I believe he has/had seeds he made himself when they self fertilized...as you must know...HB tends to throw off some bananas and you get a few seeds per plant.

I currently have a Headband from seed!...one of my own seeds.

Adding to the confusion....SFV...(I have) and the NorCal cut...I think DST has...they are a bit different!

My HB is from a cutting! (though I have ~20 seeds)

I haven't touched the San Fernando but HB is very popular here in NorCal and I've never heard of a seed. I'm not calling you a liar, just saying that's a new one to me. I'm also a skeptic unless I know for sure that the source is reliable since so many people play the name game these days just to get product out the door. Even then it's hard to be 100% sure about strains these days with all of the cannabis dispensaries coming up with their own names for shit that already has a name.

What are the differences between the SFV and the NorCal cutting. I've heard of OG and the San Fernando. I'm assuming the non San Fernando is the NorCal cutting?

Thanks for the explanation Hayduke, you on piont there.

Okay nomaninsf, I have been waiting for the day for someone to come along and question me...haha. And now you give me the opportunity. I have never really told anyone (a few), but here goes

The genetics are from a bunch of guys originally from Hollywood who came over to the Dam and started what you may know as DNA genetics. They were experimenting with Headband and it was the first time I had seen it anywhere (it was like 50% more than any other bud = -€18/gram) As you know DNA carried (past tense - due to grow rooms being busted I believe) OG Kush and also East Coast Sour Diesel. These two were crossed and I believe it produced Headband 707 (i think that is what this variety is called State side) The first and only bag I bought had about 10 seeds in it. As Hayduke says, these girls have a tendency to self produce and I have had the resulting seeds from the various grows. I can tell you, the seeds produce the same plants as the original.
So that's it, I hope you are satisfied with the explanation, there is nothing more to it, it's as simple as that.
The Headband that came Third in the recent Cannabis cup is from the same strain of genetics I believe.

Hope this satisfies your scepticism.

Peace, DST

i know its late post but,
how can you say it cant be headband if its grown from seed. It takes less than 6 months to veg, flower, and create seeds.
Sadly people who have "experience" say things like that

DST, hello my good friend. As always evrything looks great. Nice sugary buds. And goog looking hash. Been on a small break but I'm back in effect now. Scored me a nice 8x8 tent and got a couple of 600's. Had a few setbacks though, while setting up, had to let about45 plants. So I'm kinda back to square one. Bought some inferior lights instead of my hortilux babies. But I'm set now, gonna be trying a little co2 also so we'll see how it goes, you know. Just hoping to see an increase in more than just my electric bill. If not I just might have to put on a thong, and tie my shirt into a knot when the meter reader guy comes by.LOL. But we'll see. But any tricks or shortcuts that I can do with those 600's would be more than welcome. Again good to see you still marching on an keeping things going. I read up on that headband and it's supposed to be some killer smoke, been thinking bout gettimg some of those beans and some cataract kush beans. But anywho I'm out, and I'll be looking for that smoke report bro!


PEACE!!!

I believe dude said that cause he was under the impression that 'headband' is a "clone-only" strain.

Thanks for that caddyluck. Man, the end of summer is a real bummer. My previous clones had all been brought to life throughout the summer months and natural sunlight. I checked my little DIY clone cupboard this morning and some of them ain't lookin too great (I took 6 of the HB, and 1 OGK clone)....think I will go out and buy some additional fake sun for them, the one OGK clone is already "Broon bread" as we say:cry:....and 2 of the HB are looking ropey.

luckily I still have some OGK beans left, but the clone came from one of the nice dark greenies pictured above.....that's what happens when you get lazy with ehm I guess. I also have a bag of HB seeds - quite a few to spare actually....see pic.
Memories eh D. Just looking back and having a wee laugh! 'Broon bread' :)
By-The-Way 'any they HB beans left HaHaHa j/k', Good Read mate!
