Fire Headband is a modern hybrid cannabis strain resulting from the crossing of D and DNL. This cultivar, which has produced notable offspring in the Fire Headband F2, is characterized by a moderate cultivation difficulty and thrives in both indoor and outdoor environments. Growers can expect a high yield from this plant, which reaches maturity following a 67-day flowering cycle.
The terpene profile of Fire Headband is led by a dominant presence of caryophyllene, followed by myrcene, caryophyllene-oxide, linalool, and nerolidol. This foundation is further nuanced by the presence of pinene, beta-pinene, limonene, camphene, and ocimene, with trace amounts of isopulegol, gamma-terpinene, terpinolene, and humulene contributing to the overall chemical composition. These compounds collectively define the strain's aromatic and flavor characteristics.
As a THC-dominant hybrid, Fire Headband is associated with effects described as relaxed, happy, and uplifted. These properties make it a candidate for users seeking relief from stress and pain, or support for sleep. The strain continues to influence current breeding projects through its established genetic contribution to lines like the Fire Headband F2.

~60%
spicy
●●○○
Russo 2011: only terpene that is a selective full CB2 agonist (100 nM); Gertsch et al. 2008: acts as dietary cannabinoid; unique anti-inflammatory and gastric cytoprotective properties.
Russo 2011: naloxone-sensitive analgesia, potentiates barbiturate sleep; dominant sedating terpenoid; blocks hepatic carcinogenesis by aflatoxin.

spicy
●○○○
Oxidized form of beta-caryophyllene. Woody, spicy aroma. The compound drug dogs detect in cannabis. CB2 receptor activity.
Effects
Reported effects — derived from terpene chemistry and cannabinoid profile.
relaxed
eveningPrimary endpoint of myrcene+linalool sedating combinations; GABA modulation is the dominant mechanistic driver.
happy
anytimeuplifted
morningLimonene anxiolytic/antidepressant via serotonin elevation in prefrontal cortex (Russo 2011); mood improvement without full euphoria; key for balanced-1-1 profiles.
Genetic Profile
Balanced Hybrid
Equal indica and sativa genetics. Balanced body and mind effects.
THC-Dominant
High THC, trace CBD. Psychoactive. Full CB1 agonism — euphoria, appetite, analgesia.
