As the name suggests, this hybrid, with 75% indica content, is a cross between the classic indica strain, Blueberry, and Headband, known to some as Sour Kush. This fusion is a product of California’s Emerald Triangle Seeds, a company that specializes in revamping traditional cannabis strains. The Emerald Triangle of the name refers to the Mendocino, Humboldt and Trinity counties in California, an area that has been popular with growers and cannabis connoisseurs for the last 50 years. They have undoubtedly chosen well for this strain in terms of genetics; Blueberry is well known for its beautiful blue hues, which it has passed on to its offspring, and Headband counts Sour Diesel, OG Kush and, of course, the legendary ChemDawg amongst its ancestors.

Both parent plants are large producers, which can sometimes mean, in addition to a plentiful harvest, a huge plant that can only realistically be grown outdoors. Headband in particular is well known for its furious outward growth that makes it ‘leggy’ and particularly horrendous to grow inside. However, Emerald Triangle combats this by using the strong indica presence of Blueberry to slim the hybrid down. The result is that Blueberry Headband plants can actually be grown quite happily in an indoor grow room and even a well-tended closet garden. The lankiness of its parent strain does mean that the branches may struggle under their own weight when it comes to the flowering stage, even with the strengthening influence of the indica genes, so it may be necessary to use stakes to help support the branches. Just keep an eye out for any drooping near the biggest flowers. If you are growing outside, let these guys grow to their full potential and you’ll have a gorgeous garden just before harvest. It is interesting to note that the street value of this weed is relatively high, due to strong demand for blue bud.

Headband is especially well-suited for medical marijuana user as the stone is not overpowering, leaving you able to go about your daily life, and controls nausea and anxiety well. The high of Blueberry is both euphoric and very long-lasting so, as you would guess, crossing the two produces a smoke which is both energetic and apt to leave you ludicrously happy and in fits of giggles. It also is a great pain-reliever and calms the smoker. The taste is unmistakably Blueberry, but with a light lemon scent from the sativa-dominant Headband. Be sure to savor the flavor, scent, and experience of this great West Coast plant!
