The Cross
Two cultivars that both got worldwide recognition from growers rather than from marketing.
The Parents
Headband was originally a regional codename rather than a strain. The Loompa Farms cut is the Northern California expression, held clone only for two decades and eventually renamed Underdawg OG to separate it from the East Coast Headbands running the Chem and Diesel lanes.
Purple Punch is Larry OG crossed to Granddaddy Purple.
What’s In The Pack
Six feminized photoperiod seeds. Phenotypes split between the OG side and the Purple Punch side, with the keepers holding both.
In The Garden
70-80 days. Bountiful yield.

Real happy with the first 2 seeds I have popped of 6. 1 plant is in the Jar curing. The pictures are from her. I have a time lapse as well, but can’t share it on here. The other seed is in week 4 of flower. They are definitely different pheno’s, but I’m liking both. The one on cure already taste great and the is really chill!
I bought head punch mainly for its Headband lineage while hoping for that effect with added purple punch terps. I was not disappointed 4 seeds 100% germination… Four different however exceptional phenotypes. Three had the “headband” effect… A true heavy weight!
They took well to UVA & UVB. Four plants, vegged 8 weeks, produced just under 14oz which i think could have been bigger had i trained and pruned them a bit differently next time.
This was overall a very easy grow. The buds are very frosty and the taste is absolutely delicious. Very strong smell and tasty smoke. The smoke delivers a very good head almost instantly and a body in later. I will be growing this again for sure!
This was once again another winner from the man gu , I have 1 I’ve kept as a mother that was dead on a mix of the loompas headband and purple punch , I’ve grew the loompas headband clone years ago and it was def some fire but this cross is perfect , danker smells but the taste is so pronounced of grapes , lemony sour Candy and then still some of that headband flavor in the end , all we’re about a perfect blend of the 2 but I did have one that was almost dead onto the purple punch but a lot more potency , as always I was more then satisfied with greenpoint seeds / gu breeding and also I forgot to add , not one even tried to go herm and I did have a bad week with a power outage due to the bad ice storm in Michigan but all still fire , colors are all purple yet frost covered , pics don’t do it justice but still look great
Awesome strain, the headband I love.
Great Strain!
Week 6 of flower and they are looking and smelling great. Not to mention gps has the absolute best customer service.
Smells like fruity bread and classic OG. Very unique and pungent – big fan of the terps. Grows good-sized dense buds with a nice amount of resin, finished in a reasonable time. Loompa’s Headband effects are one of the best traits and it shines through brilliantly.
Head punch is the business!
They all popped started to flower about a week ago looking good thanks for your service!!
