Unfinished Business - Headbanger - First Update 5/10

So happy to have the shot at running this strain again. Running 6 seeds to start this time will give me much better odds. As titled Unfinished Business, I still have a score to settle with the Headbanger. So a few cycles ago at my other grow I was growing one HB seed I was gifted from a friend. Turned out being the biggest, bushiest, most vigorous plant in the garden. It had an insanely strong stench of sour burnt rubber funk that was just mouth watering.

Anyways I was convinced this beautiful plant was a lady, one that would had been the prize of my garden. Well I was tricked and he turned out being a boy. I wanted to collect his pollen and make use of him, his beautiful structure and super stink. At the time I didnt have an isolation chamber built or a proper method to flower him out and collect his pollen. The outcome with my first Headbanger grow was so promising just to leave a sour unfinished taste in my mouth. Thats about to be solved go go super sour pheno!

Ever since I had to chop that beautiful plant down, Headbanger has been at the top of my list of strains to run. Well that time has finally arrived and I couldn't be more thrilled. These plants will be part of the first run at my new grow spot, I will be popping seeds in 3 separate rounds roughly 3 weeks apart. I will be running the Headbangers under a 1000w HPS with my Stardawg x Biker testers. I would think those to should make a nice pairing side by side.

The Stardawg x Biker Test Grow

There are lots of other happenings with projects going on with my new grow spot that is currently being finished up. I plan on starting a thread very soon that will detail all 3 of my projects Im working on along with all the strains Im running. That thread will basically be an entire overview of everything Im doing and planning, its going to be a fun filled 2015.

5/10 - I began by dropping 6x Headbanger into a shot glass with water to start germination.

5/11 - Like the Stardawg x Biker's that were dropped at the same time 6 of 6 seeds had cracked open and dropped to the bottom of the shot glass.
All but one already had roots popping out within 18 hours of being in water.
All 6 were potted in solo cups using my current soil mix.

Soil Mixture - 1 part FoxFarm Ocean Forrest - 1 part FoxFarm Coco Loco - 1/2 part perlite - 1/4 part earthworm castings.

Planning to flower these babies out in 5gal pots but I may go a little smaller and do 3gal. Im planning with this seed run to really avoid topping and or any training with the plants. I would really like to be able to see their natural growth structures to help with making selections. Something tells me by the time these girls are harvested I will have a hard time trying to pick a keeper.

As soon as they pop above ground I will get an update with some pictures posted.

Great start Kalyx. The Headbanger sounds awesome indeed. I am a huge fan of flavor and by all reports, she sounds like a real lip smacker. A bit lengthier flower time but good things come to those who wait and all.

Best of luck, Im pulling up a seat.

@unregistered190 - Thank you and welcome aboard the Headbanger Express.

@nickman - Really excited for this strain, I have unfinished business with her. Stinky is a great thing unless you are trying to be discrete, I fully expect my carbon filters to be working overtime this grow.

@Gardening Angel - Hey GA, glad to have you along for the ride as well. I hope you get to run the Headbanger this year as well. Im really looking forward to your current/upcoming project though, thats going to be a fun one. :biggrin:

@Bmac1 - Thanks Bmac happy to have you here. She has all the potential I want in terms of stank, lip smacking taste and that super sour diesel, chemmy OG funk this stoner loves. Im used to most plants going 10-12 weeks so a couple extra weeks will be worth it every bit.

@Karma G - Ohhh I can't wait for the super sour delight Im in store for. Fingers crossed for lots of sexy ladies...:woohoo:


Oh yeah for a non update, update. One of the Headbangers is already above ground #4 and two others have just started breaking ground #1 and #5. Thats some super speed in my book popping ground 2 days after being planted in soil. I will have a proper update with pics most likely after the weekend.

Any updates?

Yep sorry for the lack of any recent updates. The grow is still going ended up with 2 girls, one of them being a runt but Im keeping her around for now. I haven't started flowering them out yet, just took cuts off the normal one, she will be transplanted into final pot in about a week and probably start flowering a week later. The runt will need some more time before she is ready to flower and produce any clones.

I will get a proper update posted shortly with some current pictures, just need to get them uploaded.
