Background
Headbanger crosses a Sour Diesel female with a Biker Kush 2.0 male, producing an especially gassy, OG-inspired cultivar.
We were lucky enough to get a sample of the Gman_Grows420 cut via East London Cannabis Club, which I had previously smoked and so knew was going to be a strong one!
Appearance
This bud looks great, with a good trim job and dense buds packed with lots and lots of trichomes.
I also got to see and include some videos of the headbanger plants themselves. This showed just how many trichomes were dotted about, covering the buds and leaves.
Aroma
This bud smells like one of the strongest instances of OG that I can remember. It is a really strong smelling strain, and again, doesn't disappoint in this area. One of my favourite things about the Headbanger is the smell.
Taste
This gets top marks for taste in my opinion. The gassy, earthy OG taste came through a treat through my bong, a lot more than 99% of other strains I had smoked through it. Reminds me of the quality from B28's Green Crack - top notch.
Effects
From the trichome coverage I guessed this was going to be a strong one, and yes, it was. The bong itself was quite intense, causing me to cough a bit before the effects kicked in. When they did I got a mix of intense uplifted, relaxed and possibly creative (although I felt too high to be sure).
Conclusion
This is a really good grow of a really good strain, and I thoroughly enjoyed reviewing it. Very impressed!
