Origin
Headbanger is a cross of Biker Kush and Sour Diesel, from Karma Genetics, consistent across sources, though one lists a Biker Kush version 2.0; our records carry no formal lineage entry. The Biker Kush side brings the OG body and flavor; Sour Diesel the fuel and the head. It has one descendant on file, and the Karma Genetics name is part of why the seed line is trusted.

About
Headbanger is a deliberate attempt to bottle the Headband experience.
Karma Genetics crossed Biker Kush with Sour Diesel and named the result for its resemblance to Headband, the OG-and-Diesel classic. It won a best-sativa placing at a 2013 High Times Cup, and for people who chase that pressure-behind-the-eyes OG-diesel high, it is the argument for a reputable seed line over a mystery clone.
What to Expect
Headbanger is a strong morning strain. Leafly's breakdown leads with euphoric at 62 percent, then happy at 54, relaxed at 52 and uplifted at 50, with a creative streak behind, from a solid number of reviews. It is clear-headed at a normal dose and heavier as the dose climbs, with the OG side adding body weight.
At 23 percent, dry mouth is the leading complaint, with dry eyes and a light headache note well behind. The high THC means an unfamiliar batch deserves a small first dose.
Flavor and Aroma
Headbanger is pungent diesel and skunk with a sour, lime-citrus sharpness and a sweet, earthy base. It is a loud OG-diesel smell, not a subtle one. The flavor is earthy and sweet with the fuel carrying through.
Terpenes Explained
Headbanger has no terpene panel in our data, only Camphene, Caryophyllene and Limonene as recurring names without amounts. The diesel note comes largely from sulfur compounds a standard panel does not measure, so the lab sheet will describe the citrus and miss the fuel.
For an OG-diesel strain, the nose is the quality check. A jar that does not read sharp and pungent is not carrying the Headband character.
Cannabinoids and Potency
Headbanger THC is reported from about 21 to 28 percent, with the lab-measured sample near 22, so this is a strong strain across sources. CBD is a trace. The numbers are consistent.
With this one the sharpness of the diesel nose is a better quality signal than the THC figure.
