Thanks SL2. The lowdown on the HB. Well that's an interesting question. Firstly, lets cover the facts (just in case anyone chimes in and wants to say...dude, that ain't Headband... or whatever....)

Headband is generally a Clone only strain. And I think this is down to the fact that no-one has stabilised the genetics of the plant, or tried to backcross with regs to get males...etc. So generally HB's will produce a male flower and you will get a couple of beans each grow)
The original linneage is OG Kush X East Coast Sour Diesel. This was a late strain to hit the Netherlands, and was introduced through the afore mentioned DNA genetics. When I bought a bag of weed I found around 8 seeds in there. This was a year ago now. I grew out the seeds, got loads of seeds from the first batch (which I will again this batch as they are from seed.) After the first clone the male flowers vanished and the seed production seemed to go down to a couple of each plant. No big hassle for me.

This time round I am using all my own seeds that I got from running my first batch...so there are quite a few diff phenos in there. The one I am aiming to keep was the one that went twin on me. Two seedlings from one seed. The second seedling had all the male flowers, so was chopped, and the remaining plant, Thelma is the keeper! No male flowers at all from seed. Very happy with that.

If you need further lowdowns just gies a shout.

Peace, DST

I have 6 other clones from the HB's which are from an indica looking pheno which I will run next time around.

The stone: As it say's you feel like Bjorn Borg with his Flia Headband round your cranium - nice frontal lobe feeling. You also get a nice body stone with it hitting your shoulders and slowly working it's way down. The taste for me has a sweet kush with sour back kick from the Diesel...the smell is a cross between fruity and anaseed.

It can take forever to flower, you can run it for 12 weeks no problem. I do mine for 10-11 normally.

This is one of the few weeds in the Dam (like some of the rare cheeses) that can go for 18 euro per gram. If you like Sour, and have a hankering for Kush...you will love the shit out of Headband.:hump:

D you should cross that head band with that mango male you got. Id like to just get a puff of some head band but sounds like a good combo? Clone only. I cant seem to find the cj beans either? that looks as you say "The Business". I aim to take a trip to the AM this year prob in the fall 2010. Just wanna see what the world should be like. 4 reals. peace dogg:bigjoint:

I fekked off both the Mango males last week. I only took polem from one of them (te beter looking one) and have freezered that for a later date. The HB - Mango cross may be one for next run....

This run I have got some accidental Headband X Cali Orange....I popped 3 beans into a shot glass yesterday and will put them into a bag today for germ...not sure if anything will happen with them, but lets see....

1BMM: Would be good t see you in the Dam bru.

HAve godo day folks,

Thanks Don, Casey is looking good. Snapped a popcorn of last week and it is fairly dry so will have a blast on that ron. Smells lucious though:bigjoint:

So here's the Cali O's (well 3 of them) the other 2 were at the back of the room so I couldn't be ersed taking them out....Still got quite a few white hairs, the calyx's are quite small but the cola's themselves are fairly solid. I won't be growing this again anyway but they were okay for a freebee:lol: They do have quite a citrusy smell from touching them. Not smoked this for a decade or so now so should be interesting...Heres the 3 Tops. They will go into darkness tomorrow me finks...


And the usual suspects. These get snapped all the time because I have to take them out to water everything else.

My fave: Thelma...what a beast. Every cola is growing like a main cola, with fat little nugs at the bottom of each one..yummy.


The Blackjack has started to fatten out like a mofo. She has like a huge lump growing out the side of her:-P Although you can't really see it in this pic.


Of course the New York 47, also a regular in front of the camera.


And my OG Kush nuggles.


Peace min,
