Sour Kush Aka Headband

[MightyMightyMezz]

I have Reserva Privada Sour Kush clones in veg and am wondering how tall I should let them get before flowering. It's supposed to bud for up to 11 weeks and I don't want it to outgrow the space. Anyone know how much these stretch in flower?

[rockinlespaul]

Wish I could help Mezz but I've never grown that one out.

 

Good luck with her and let us know how she does!

Formerly known as Headband.

 

Being from Southern California we had to bring something Killer to our catalog. The last 4 years have been Chem, OG, ECSD and Headband these strains are all related and in the next year we will be bringing you all of these unique Medicinal Strains.

 

The Headband/Sour Kush has a great yield and the high is completely medical and not to over powering. Finding a keeper mother is easy in a pack of 6 and cloning this plant is easy, rooting in 8-10 days. Growing fast in vegetive stage and spreading out wide to produce many tops and an even canopy will make you a happy gardener!

 

The smell is Sour Lemony Fuel and produces heavy resin early. This original cross is not the 707 or any other clone only "Headband" this cross was made by reversing the OG Kush to pollinate the Sour Diesel.

 

This strain has the taste, yield, and is easy to grow. The makers of champions will all the confusion between the clone only Headband and ours we have decided to exclusively call this strain Sour Kush.

Reserva Privada Sour Kush AKA Headband has a great yield, and the high is completely medical and not too over-powering. Finding a keeper mother is easy in a pack of 6 and this plant clones easily as well, rooting in 8-10 days. She grows fast in vegetive stage and spreads out wide to produce many tops and an even canopy. Producing heavy resin early and a great aroma, our Headband has bag and head appeal. She doesn’t grow as tall as Sour Diesel or as stretchy as the OG Kush and is not so picky with the nutrients. She has a fuely-soury taste and smell with a long lasting high. She is a good all day smoke that won’t knock you down like some of the heavy indicas and is a good strain for anxiety. This original cross is not the 707 or any other clone only "Headband," this cross was made by reversing the OG Kush to pollinate the Sour Diesel.

Hope this Helps ...

[MightyMightyMezz]

Thanks, Dr T. I've seen those already. They only say it is fast in veg, which it is. I just wondered if someone with experience would tell me if I am out of my mind to veg them to an eighteen inch bush. Or should I flower just a week into veg? I haven't dealt with any really stretchy strains and I don't want the tops growing past the light because I vegged too long, know what I mean?

[MightyMightyMezz]

Wish I could help Mezz but I've never grown that one out.

 

Good luck with her and let us know how she does!

 

She spreads naturally.

 

[rhinoman]

hey mezz how many weeks is the clone. that should give ya a good idea.

[MightyMightyMezz]

hey mezz how many weeks is the clone. that should give ya a good idea.

 

About twelve days since having just enough roots to transplant from bubble cloner to soil.

[rhinoman]

sounds to me like shes gona shine!

[1337Gr33n]

let her get no more than 18" and you should be okay.

[MightyMightyMezz]

You have experience with both SD and OG, right? Thanks for the advice.

[1337Gr33n]

More with OG. Sour D not so much. she was exterminated in the heat wave power loss apocalypse '11. lol friggin news caster speak there!

[Cannastyle]

let her get no more than 18" and you should be okay.

 

That sounds about right.

 

I would top it once or twice or supercrop her as well.

 

Depends on which side she leans but if shes OG dominant she will stretch up to 3x!

 

Good luck.....sounds like a dank strain!

[1337Gr33n]

I haven't topped any OG's yet. Is it the best way to train them?

I've been letting them get about five or six branches. I think I'll put one of these clones in right away actually. I don't know what I'm waiting for. Just want to veg them enough to get a good yield, but I'll put one in now just to have some Sour Kush meds that much sooner.

[LongHairBri]

I top a few times in the first few weeks. most OG's strech about 1/3 to 1/2

[Cannastyle]

I haven't topped any OG's yet. Is it the best way to train them?

 

Yep. The only way to pull a decent yeild from her as far as I know....

[1337Gr33n]

i got 2.75 dry off my very first one. i was quite happy with it. would i be happier with 4-5 zips of OG Kush? You betcha!

[Cannastyle]

Long veg time is key as well.

 

This is only experience with CC OGs and OG dominant strains though, still vegging my first clone only OG.

[1337Gr33n]

i remember you mentioning her. lovely gal sounds like. sorry to derail your thread Mezz. Keep the pics comin, man!

[wingdings]

hey Mezz Ive got headband about 5 weeks into flr. I let her get near 2 feet tall and gave her a late top about a week before flower. She sits about 4.5 feet now with a "stadium seating" effect with 4 nice tops. I didnt even know it was an 11 week strain lol but I bet she'll be worth the wait.

[MightyMightyMezz]

Is yours from the same breeder? Got pics???

 

Eleven weeks was the longest I found in grow reports. Hopefully it will be more like nine or ten.

[wingdings]

No Im not sure about the breeder and I dont own a camera at the moment, good luck with your HB!

IT depends on indica or sativa strain, and its hybrid %. Indicas seem like they only grow about 12- 15" after being flowered. Sativas, keep growing - I flower my plants at about 24" - 30", (this includes the pot) the plant will grow another 2.5 to three feet. By experience I know that flowering at 24" means it will be about 5 feet tall at harvest. The sativas do stop growing in height about the 6th week of flower, then they start filling out.

 

Training your plants by cropping them (stop trimming and cropping by the second week of flower to avoid stressing the plant), using nets and wires to pull and hold down branches - will help keep the plant under your lights. At the same time, you are training the plant to expose the side stems to create big buds. Cut off the lower half the of plant (they are your clones), I also cut off the first two nodes inside the branches - they only create small airy buds and now more food and energy goes to making bigger buds on the stem.

 

Do not over top. people mistake topping (FIM) for cropping. topping and FIM encourages the plant to make more stems, to branch out more. It is possible to overtop and end up with small buds with lots of stem. Shaping the plant is all over, top and bottom, and experience with the strain will help you shape the plant to get the most buds. You want to cut off the lower branches (lollipop) to get air flow and those branches don't yeild much anyways.

 

Avoid cutting more than 20% at a time, trimming too much off the plant at a time can stress the plant.

 

Grow times can vary - it is possible to shorten the flower time by superfeeding it. You might want to harvest early based on the trichromes - to change the medicinal effect for you. Try a harvest based on trichromes and harvest another plant based on calendar. They should effect you differently.
