Historical sample observations
A historical UK review sample provides the following sample-specific context. This week the archive are taking a look at Headbanger, a Sativa-dominant hybrid strain bred by Karma Genetics. \n Headbanger is the result of crossing a Sour Diesel female with a Biker Kush 2.0 male, resulting in an extra gassy OG-inspired offspring that is known as Headbanger.\n\nWe were lucky enough to get a sample of the Gman_Grows420 cut via East London Cannabis Club , which the reviewer had previously smoked and so knew was going to be a strong one!\n\n[caption id="" align="alignnone" width="640"] Headbanger Plant. Photo: Gman_Grows420[/caption]\n Appearance \nThis bud looks great, with a good trim job and dense buds packed with lots and lots of trichomes.\n\nI 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 (see the video for more details).\n Smell \nThis bud smells like one of the strongest instances of OG that the reviewer can remember. It is a really strong smelling strain, and again, doesn't disappoint in this area. One of the reviewer's favourite things about the Headbanger is the smell.\n\n[caption id="" align="alignnone" width="2189"] Headbanger Bud[/caption]\n Taste \nThis gets top marks for taste in the reviewer's opinion. The gassy, earthy OG taste came through a treat through the reviewer's bong, a lot more than 99% of other strains the reviewer had smoked through it. Reminds the reviewer of the quality from B28's Green Crack - top notch.\n Effects \nFrom the trichome coverage the reviewer guessed this was going to be a strong one, and yes, it was. The bong itself was quite intense, causing the reviewer to cough a bit before the effects kicked in. When they did the reviewer got a mix of intense uplifted, relaxed and possibly creative (although the reviewer felt too high to be sure).\n Overall \nThis is a really good grow of a really good strain, and the reviewer thoroughly enjoyed reviewing it. Very impressed!\n
