505 Headbanger

Decent plant so far, but not without issues. Growth was a bit lanky overall and the bud structure didn’t turn out as dense as I’d hoped. She also took her time to finish. Terpwise it stayed pretty mild during the grow... some lemony/chemical notes, but nothing too exciting. Just harvested, so final judgment is still open. I’ll update this once it’s dried and cured if the smoke turns out better than expected.

So in short, 505 Headbanger is a total monster strain, full of surprises. If you are looking for a strong hybrid / sativa-leaning flower (and can deal with sweet & heavy eucalyptus/mint flavors), you need to give this one a shot. While all plants during this grow had fairly terrific first weeks, 505 Headbanger got hit hardest by continuous drought events just as she was ready to lift off. I mistook the steam from her rocket engines as a crash-signal, when she just launched and asked for MORE fuel. As soon as that was fixed, 505HB had lost her #1 stretch position and already decided for a quick finish. Her trichome production exploded very early on and their coverage expanded far beyond her bud sites. With newly found trust in stable and adequate nutritional support and a fairly dialed in environment, she noticably began to relax and feel at home. Her trichomes looked fresh and very stable at all times, the sheer width and depth of her oilfactory palette honestly scared me for it's intensity. Her structure turned out to be the best of the tent, with ~7 colas on an even level. What I read as a fairly good flower site distribution for "a couple of neat nugs" slowly amassed into a bulky, dinosaur-age style canopy with several "pillars", seemingly ready to take it up with a rain forest. She got the nickname "Lil Peanut", for her terrific roasted peanut scent emanating from flower sites and her slightly stunted structure. I had to move her harvest window several times because she suddenly seemed up for an extended season. I decided I had product in a terrific state and was more interested in her daytime-activation side, so on Day 79 she got chopped and entered the drying tent at an eerie 3000g+, which I immediately discarded as a measurement error. She left me with a spectacular 275g of high quality, dried and trimmed flower (and unexpectedly delivered just as much as Sour Jealousy, no less). Try this. 505 Headbanger gets my full recommendation.

The smell on her is something else. Light lemon-lime, sugar, sweet, sour, and gas. She smells like summer in the 90's when I was driving my car with the windows down, and sneaking a few puffs in the woods. Dripping with resin and buds thick as a 16oz of beer.
