About this product

Island Mountain Headband, a Rebel Grown history: Headband market influence: By 2010 it was hard for many Humboldt farmers to sell anything besides OG Kush or Sour Diesel. The Purple craze was winding down and buyers from LA’s massive market only wanted OG Kush, while on the East Coast, New York buyers only wanted Sour Diesel. But OG wasn’t a vigorous plant and was challenging to get a decent yield outdoors. It didn’t have much stretch and didn’t do well in large pots or holes in the ground that were common at the time with many small farmers. Most dep was small scale back then and was almost all OG. Sour Diesel was vigorous with lots of stretch and had good mold resistance. You could grow it big, but it’s a long flowering plant, and needed to go until the first week of November to be grown to full maturity and properly develop its flavors and potency. Even when grown correctly the flower wasn’t very dense. Headband was the perfect balance between OG Kush and Sour Diesel. It was more vigorous than OG and earlier finishing than Sour. It was frosty and dense, and most importantly, gassy! It could be sold top dollar to LA buyers as OG Kush, or NY buyers as Sour Diesel, and neither could tell the difference.
