The hippie headband strain is the result of a cross between Headband and Purple Urkle. Most people have heard of Purple Urkle, but not many have heard of the Headband cannabis strain. Let's take a look at the iconic strains, OG Kush, Master Kush, and Sour Diesel, that form the backbone of Headband and, therefore, the Hippie Headband strain as well. With these strains as parents, its no wonder the Headband strains are loved by all who encounter it. But what iconic traits are inherited from OG Kush and Sour Diesel?

Okay, let's take a look at what makes this Hippie Headband strain a regular amongst cannabis lovers.
 

What is the Hippie Headband Strain?

As the name suggests, the Hippie Headband will create a pressurized sensation around the head's crown. This sensation is accompanied by a smooth and delightful smoke, with hints of diesel and lemon on the nose. The effects are typically long-lasting and have been a hit for those who use marijuana strains to combat pain and high-stress levels. The Hippie Headband weed strain has effects that roll in slowly but last for a bit longer than the average marijuana strain.
 

But Who is the Hazeman Seed Company?

Hazeman seeds were born out of a distinct desire to stay true to the original OG's of cannabis strains, and we not just talking about OG Kush. At the cusp of the last century, Hazeman seeds popped up and have stayed true to their commitment to customer satisfaction. And for Hazeman, there is nothing that can offer customer satisfaction more than quality cannabis strains. Oh wait, there is; couple that with affordability and you have yourself a winner. Hazeman is famous for old school strains and stable genetics. It comes as no surprise that this seed company has brought us one of the most iconic seed strains of all, even if you may not hear of it as often, the Hippie Headband.
 

Why is it called the 'Headband'?

The Hippie Headband weed strain has a high THC content. One of the effects inspired by these is the blood vessels dilating in the face, which is believed to be THC's doing.
 

What's the Lineage behind Hippie Headband?

We have already touched on the strain and the gentics, but now let's take a closer look at the legendary lineage and the breeders who brought it to us.

‘Grandparent #1’ OG Kush: What's all the fuss about?

About OG Kush
To say that OG Kush is a legendary strain would be a rather gross understatement. People who aren't even familiars in the weed world may have heard the name and term OG Kush floating around. Yes, OG Kush is one of the most legendary weed strains, but its origins are not as legendary. In fact, you could almost say that OG Kush' 's genetic heritage is somewhat mystical. There are some rumors that place OG Kush as a cross between a Kush (Hindu Landrace) and the well known Chemdawg.

Another rumor is that OG Kush is around thanks to a mystery seed bad. This seed bag could potentially have had a rather distinct phenotype that gave birth to the OG Kush that we all know and love today. Well, as you can see, there are murky possibilities that determine OG Kush's origins as one of the most popular cannabis seed strains the cannabis community has ever seen.

And the term "OG" also has a meaning behind it. And guess what? That meaning is also shrouded in mystery. Whether you believe the OG stands for Ocean Grown (alluding to the golden state of California's cannabis-filled coastline), original gangster (eluding to the fact that is one of the heavy hitters in the marijuana industry) or the now dismantled website OverGrown.com, it doesn't change the fact that the OG Kush is a worthy genetic parent for any strain.

With a consistently high THC content of up to 25%, its no wonder that cannabis breeders often turn to the foundation genetics on offer by OG Kush.
 

‘Grandparent #2’ Sour Diesel: Delicious and Nutritious

You may know this strain by its abbreviated name, Sour D. This strain is another one that has received notoriety throughout the cannabis society, amongst breeders, cultivators, and users. There are few strains that are as characteristically aromatic as Sour Diesel cannabis strain. Its flowers have a chemical-like smell that could remind you of your neighbors' kitchen, or your local gas station.

The sour diesel seed strain is a hybrid that leans more towards the sativa cerebral high while carrying through some decent indica full-body relaxation. For many, this strain is the perfect combination of the two- especially for daytime toking. Like the OG Kush, it carries a consistent THC content between 20 and 25%.
 

‘Grandfather #3’ Master Kush: The High Riser

You may have heard of this strain as the High Rise strain. Whether you know it as the Master Kush or the High Rise weed strain, it has been brought to us from the masters in south Amsterdam and has since developed a loyal following throughout the corner cafes and coffee shops in the area. There is something that sets this cannabis apart from the rest, do you know what it is? While most strains are diploid, meaning they have two sets of chromosomes, the Master kush is a tetraploid, meaning they have eight sets of haploid chromosomes.
Master Kush is one of Snoop Dog's favorite strains and has won several awards at the cannabis cup throughout the nineteen nineties.

Let's get back to this indica heavy Hippie Headband strain.

Whether you are looking for an iconic strain, then this indica heavy hitter will make you pull up your socks and pay attention. Whether you are looking for a hybrid with impressive genetics to add to your cannabis seed collection or a full-body stone (legally, of course), this strain has the bag appeal and the genetics standing behind it.
 

Where Does The Hippie Headband Strain Come From?

The Hippie Headband strain is brought to us by the breeders from the Hazeman Seed company. It was bred from Purple Urkle and Headband. While the following genetic lineage explanation may seem complicated, just pay attention, and follow along. And if you get confused, just reach out to our friendly team, and we'll happily tell you everything you need to know.

Hazeman is still pumping out these super-fire strains; here we have his newest mish mash of high grade genetics; Headband. This is no ordinary Headband though, oh no far from it. Hazeman, being the mad horticulturalist that he is has decided to hit it to a Purple Erkle... heres the description straight from the man himself.
This is not an F2 this is an F1. Hazeman took loompa's Purple Erkle x Headband and hit that with a Headband BX male also made by loompa. He wanted to use the Purple Erkle x Headband mom he had, because of the short 45 day finish time and outstanding knock down punch she has.
She loves the side lighting with little nutrients and will finish in 45 days. For all you headband lovers this is a must have strain for your collection.
