Historical sample observations
A historical UK review sample provides the following sample-specific context. This week the archive are looking at Headband, a cross of OG Kush X Sour Diesel. \n Appearance \nThis strain gets good marks from the reviewer on appearance. It has a great trim job and looks like it's been dipped in crystals or snowed on.\n\nThe colour is a light green, with less apparent pistils than some other strains the reviewer had seen recently.\n\n \n Smell \nI'm disappointed with the smell of the Headband, which isn't really coming through at all before breaking it open.\n\nGrinding the headband up, a light, almost floral and delicate cannabis scent is released - it is certainly not how the reviewer pictured a cross of OG Kush X Sour Diesel to turn out!\n\n \n Taste \nHitting the headband cannabis strain through the reviewer's bong, The reviewer recorded it to be quite an intense strain - the intensity perhaps comes from the sheer number of trichomes expanding in the reviewer's lungs.\n\nThe taste came through ever-so-slightly (mostly a watery aftertaste) - inoffensive, floral and almost imperceptible apart from the intensity.\n\n \n \n Effects \nSome users report that headband hits you quite slowly, and can cause a tightness around the head that reminds people of a headband. The sample the reviewer had to smoke was a strong strain, but the reviewer didn't get the tightness.\n\nIt took a few minutes before the reviewer began to feel the relaxation setting in. Then feelings of happiness and creativity began to shine through.\n\n \n Conclusion \nOverall the reviewer enjoyed sampling this strain - particularly the appearance and the effects. Unfortunately, it looses marks for the reviewer in taste and smell, which were both lacking.\n\nAs an indica-dominant hybrid strain, Headband delivers a nice high that isn't too overpowering, perhaps suited to those who prefer moderate indica effects. the reviewer'll stick to the reviewer's Holy Grail, Kosher Kush and OG strains, as these are the reviewer's favourite gassy crosses, something that the Headband fails to encompass, despite its parents.\n
Uncertainty and variation
