Caramel Headband (F)

SEED AND SOIL > CARAMEL HEADBAND (HEADBAND X CARAMEL CREAM) A creamy twist on the classic Headband, 2nd place winner of the HIgh 95 Cup (2024 crop, sungrown category, grown by Moon Blooms Farm). ‘Caramel’ is an imperfect approximation of a certain unmistakable toasted mouth-coating heavy aroma that is unfamiliar in classic Headband. But like a good Headband, the effects deliver a cozy body high without couchlock. Ripening date is non-uniform, as early as 10/5, but some finishing two weeks later. Due to this variability, make sure to check each plant for ripeness at harvest time. Caramel Headband is a mingling of Headband and Caramel Cream (a stunning Humboldt Seed Co. strain boasting explosive vigor, large gassy nugs, and unusual toffee overtones). Despite living with us in Maine for several generations, this plant has low uniformity for disease tolerance. A few get PM badly, some really get knocked by septoria. Botrytis tolerance is average, but some plants are barely touched. We’ve always put quite a lot of plants in our field, and if we let anyone more sympathetic than Mother Nature handle our IPM, we’d probably see quite a bit less issues… but then how would we make selections? We expect to tease out and isolate the durable traits into a line that also delivers the magic aroma, but until then – this is worthy of the hunt for complex eyewatery caryophylene gas.
