Headbanger
Read the ride before you spark it
Headbanger earns its DeePuff fit from 25% THC, a chill evening profile led by Limonene, and effects that lean calmer and more body-forward.
Headbanger, also known as "Headbanger Kush," is a sativa-dominant hybrid marijuana strain and the winner of the 2013 Amsterdam Cannabis Cup. Headbanger is made from a cross between Sour Diesel and Biker Kush. This strain inherits a dense, conic bud structure from its Kush forefathers, as well as the sour aroma and head-focused effects of its Sour Diesel mother plant. Bred by Karma Genetics, Headbanger’s 10 to 12 week flowering period requires patience but promises high yields. Its uplifting and euphoric qualities make Headbanger a potent medicine for mood disorders, particularly depression.

The aromatic compounds that define this strain's unique characteristics and effects
What are Terpenes?
Terpenes are aromatic compounds found in cannabis that contribute to each strain's unique smell, taste, and effects. They work synergistically with cannabinoids in what's known as the "entourage effect" to enhance or modify the overall experience.
