Headband x Spacequeen cannabis bud with cosmic background

Headband × Spacequeen

Growth Characteristics

This cosmic cross between the diesel‑rich Headband and the fruity Space Queen tends to shoot for the stars. Expect medium to tall plants that love warm, slightly arid climates and respond well to training. Flowering finishes after 9–10 weeks and yields can be generous when you give this stretchy hybrid room to breathe and a bit of cosmic LST.

Flavors & Aromas

The bouquet is a nebula of pungent earth and fuel from Headband, orbiting around Space Queen’s tropical pineapple and citrus notes. On the exhale you might catch whiffs of lemon, pine and a hint of creamy diesel – like enjoying a tropical fruit platter in a mechanic’s workshop floating through space.

High & Experience

The high wears an imaginary headband. It starts with a pressure behind the eyes, then blossoms into a euphoric, cerebral lift before slowly gliding into a mellow body stone. You’ll feel creative, chatty and content for hours – it’s like an interstellar road trip where the scenery keeps getting better.

Apollo 13

Growth Characteristics

Bred by the Brothers Grimm, this 85 % sativa rockets through the vegetative stage and finishes flowering in about 7–8 weeks indoors or by late September outdoors. Plants are easy to grow and produce 12–16 oz per m² indoors, more outdoors. Expect tall, spindly branches that respond well to topping and training.

Flavors & Aromas

Apollo 13’s aroma is a spicy mix of sour citrus and cracked pepper layered over earthy undertones. The smoke is sweet and woody with hints of tea and citrus peel, like sipping Earl Grey while orbiting a lemon tree.

High & Experience

The effects are uplifting and happy, delivering energy, euphoria and mental clarity. Many users report feeling giggly and sociable; at higher doses it can even feel psychedelic. A perfect daytime rocket ride that can still land you safely back on Earth when you’re ready to chill.

Space Queen

Growth Characteristics

This 50/50 hybrid remains compact at 3–5 feet tall and flowers quickly in just 50–60 days. It thrives in warm, slightly arid climates and rewards growers with moderate to high yields of crystal‑coated buds. Space Queen contains around 16–23 % THC, making it potent but manageable.

Flavors & Aromas

The aroma bursts with tropical fruit – think pineapple, mango and citrus zest – mingled with hints of spicy resin. The taste is sweet, spicy and fruity; some smokers detect charred wood and earthy spice beneath the pineapple punch.

High & Experience

Space Queen’s high launches fast, delivering a burst of euphoria and mental energy before settling into a balanced, relaxed state. It’s great for creative thinking and socializing; just watch your dosage to avoid anxiety.

Banana Splitter

Growth Characteristics

Born from 33 Splitter × Banana Zkittlez, this robust hybrid grows vigorously and produces dense, resinous buds decked out in lime green hues with orange pistils. Flowering takes about eight weeks and yields are large when conditions are warm and bright.

Flavors & Aromas

True to its name, Banana Splitter smells like a ripe banana sundae with sugary candy notes. The sweet, fruity aroma is intoxicating without being overpowering and the taste follows suit – creamy banana with a hint of tropical candy.

High & Experience

The high is balanced and relaxing but doesn’t glue you to the couch. Expect a calm, happy buzz perfect for unwinding or sparking gentle creativity. It’s like enjoying dessert in the middle of a sunny afternoon.

Cherry Splitter

Growth Characteristics

This rare hybrid from Bless Coast Seeds combines Cherry Pie (PNW) with Samurai Sour F1. Because it’s a limited release, detailed cultivation notes are scarce. Growers generally treat it like an indica‑dominant hybrid – medium stature, sturdy branches and a flowering time around eight weeks.

Flavors & Aromas

With parents like Cherry Pie and Samurai Sour, expect a blend of sweet cherry, berry and sour diesel notes. Reports suggest a “cherry gas” aroma that fills the room, but official descriptions are hard to come by.

High & Experience

Most users describe the high as balanced and euphoric with a relaxing body buzz. As a young cultivar with limited documentation, discovering its personality is half the fun – think of it as an undiscovered nebula waiting to be explored.

'79 Xmas Bud

Growth Characteristics

A pure indica preserved since 1979, this cultivar grows like a miniature Christmas tree and flowers in about eight to nine weeks. It is extremely stable and easy to grow with a strong pinene/terpinolene profile. Occasional hermaphrodites may appear, so keep an eye out.

Flavors & Aromas

The name isn’t just for show – '79 Xmas Bud smells like fresh pine needles and forest floor with hints of menthol, juniper, sandalwood, lemon, lime and exotic spices. The flavor continues the evergreen theme with a musty, spicy sweetness reminiscent of old holiday spice cabinets.

High & Experience

This strain is a potent indica creeper that begins behind the eyes and melts into a blissful, smiley stone. It cuts through previous smokes and acts like a mild narcotic – perfect for quiet winter nights spent contemplating the cosmos.

Old Mendo Haze

Growth Characteristics

This 70 % sativa/30 % indica hybrid produces long, fluffy grape‑shaped buds with neon green undertones, dark red hairs and chunky white trichomes. Indoor yields average 375–450 g/m² with a 9+ week flowering time and an outdoor finish around mid‑October.

Flavors & Aromas

Old Mendo Haze tastes like a sweet‑and‑sour tropical cocktail – think pineapple, lime and spicy flowers. The aroma is of ripe pineapple mixed with earthy haze and floral spice, like smelling a tropical fruit stand through a cloud of incense.

High & Experience

The high comes on fast between the eyes with giddy euphoria and energizing tingle. Users report feeling productive, creative and upbeat, eventually settling into a stoney but happy haze. It’s more of a mental adventure than a painkiller, perfect for daytime astral travel.

Afghani

Growth Characteristics

An ancient indica landrace from the mountains of Afghanistan and Pakistan, Afghani plants stay short and bushy with dense, resin‑soaked buds. They’re easy to grow, need little fertilizer and flower quickly in 7–8 weeks, yielding 400–500 g/m². Outdoors they can reach 2 m and finish by late September to early October.

Flavors & Aromas

The aroma is rich, earthy and hash‑like with hints of pine and citrus after curing. Smoke tastes full‑bodied and woody, reminiscent of black hash. Expect heavy resin and deep musky notes that linger like incense in a mountain cave.

High & Experience

Afghani’s high is a couch‑locking body stone that lasts for hours. It brings deep relaxation, stimulates appetite and is prized for relieving pain and insomnia. A perfect strain for stargazing from your sofa.

Jack Tripper

Growth Characteristics

This sativa‑dominant hybrid (Lemon Skunk × Jack the Ripper) flowers in about 56–63 days and produces moderate yields. Keep plants warm with stable humidity and use organic nutrients to coax out the citrus terpene profile. Height is moderate, and training helps maximise its branching.

Flavors & Aromas

Jack Tripper delivers a zesty bouquet of lemon, pine, skunk and spice. Terpenes include caryophyllene, pinene and linalool, so expect bright citrus on the nose with underlying earthy spice.

High & Experience

The high is energetic, creative and focused, making it a great daytime companion. THC levels can reach 18–24 %, so dose accordingly. It’s like a strong cup of lemon tea that keeps you chatting and creating into the night.
