It is one of my favorite strains for sure my man! Esp the Cali headband.. They have it good out there.. I am going to go with the majority of what I have read and say clone only, yet, I have seen folks breed their own headband cross (using OG Kush X Master Kush X Sour Diesel) and get headband seed that way.. It is super hyped in folklore.. Honestly, it grows almost like my northern lights did - A lot of vigor. At the end of the day, if it doesn't come out amazing, sour diesel or jock horror will probably grow where headband would have in my perpetual.

Just popped 100-150 ripe, tiger striped seeds out of the two lower branches I pollinated.. NL x TOP 44 and NL x NL. In maybe 10% of the buds you might find a single seed, but other 90% of the crop came out sensi even with my first selective pollination attempt.. This will provide enough seeds to keep these strains going for quite some time to come..

lol shit i wish i coulda been but the dead tours were long gone haha man

and as for the seeds bro great job on the success i bet that nl x 44 is gonna be sweet as hell you should drop that cross into the HB thatd be sweet man shit why cant you be my neighbor haha thatd be the shit for real haha hell enjoy your meds my brother

Slabhead, I already popped all my intentional seeds out of the branches I pollinated. So I had to look through a couple jars to find any bud with a seed, I finally found one, here she is. You can see the swollen calyx in the middle with a sliver of seed showing..


KHO, if you're willing to move, then I could be your neighbor. LOL! If I had saved any pollen I would have already pollinated my headband with Northern lights to get some seed. I only kept one male to work with, so it wasn't enough pollen to store any.. If I like the headband though, it is easy enough for me to get another clone and seed that one..

man im gonna go rent a u haul haha but i figured this run was thru but since you can get clones then itll give you time to grow out the nl x 44 to cross back with the HB thatll be damn sweet .... believe me ull love the HB man i promise haha lol

rite now i did a one plant lst grow in between my normals and i got me a lil bastard haha so im gonna save the pollen up to do a seed run on the next grow lol im bout out of the las batch haha

I already LOVE headband. I just dont know if I will love growing it. (So far it is great, outperforming the rest of my clone strains)

I think you'll have a blast growing it chief. They seem to be right sturdy girls, and resistant to mildew as well, good for the coming cold months outside my grow room under the sea.....brrrr

yup everyone ive known that has gotten to grow HB said they were hardy as hell could take the best of screw ups and bein resistant to mold the swap cooler could be introduced back into the mix makin some sweet ass ladies and thats a good trait to have in any breed

Mold resistant, awesome.
Just realized the powdery mildew might be from not exhausting at night and having the stale air sit inside the tent...
Anyone care to co-sign this hypothesis?..
I bought a controller today to run the exhaust on a schedulle, it is now replacing the air in the tent 2x with 15 minute intervals.
Also hooked up my carbon filter for the first time.. The headband plant reaks soo bad already that I HAD to hook it up. Opening the tent is smellier than opening a cola jar... Photos soon..

My exhaust naturally runs throughout the night on a lower setting (runs throughout the whole house constantly) so I would say night time you need to keep that going Mcone. I am guessing that mildew is growing most at night (or under crossed over leaves, shaded leaves, etc.) so having good circulation at night I am also guessing is important. I also have my fans inside the grow space running at night, perhaps that's why I burn through their motors all the time. So I guess that was a long was of saying, Yes, I am with that hypothesis even if you don't get mildew

(lots of guessing here, just waking and baking with my first joint of headband)

Just also read that mildew thrives around heat....

i dont exhaust at nite but ur in a differnt climate too tho so hell try it for a few weeks and watch everything like crazy you kno like the plants dryin out and what not bro and haha so you hooked up the HB already haha hell yeah

The top 44 looks beautiful! Where did you get the seeds/clones for it? I'm a medical patient in Bay Area and would be stoked to find this lady if one of the clubs or something has some cuttings.

mcone hasn't been on this forum in over a year so you may not get a reply....

lets hope you do, hope all is good mcone.
