Purple Headband’s smoke boasts the sweet taste of ripe fruit. In the palate, it has strong overtones of berries and undertones of grapes accentuated by the subtle taste of gasoline.
On the exhale, a refreshing pine replaces the chemical flavors.
Adverse reactions
Dryness in the eyes and the mouth are two common reactions to smoking marijuana. It usually is the result of cannabinoids interfering with the body’s natural ability to produce and retain moisture.
Thankfully, the effects are mild and barely noticeable. However, if symptoms persist, users may need to drown a few glasses of water as well as avoid alcoholic or caffeinated drinks throughout the day.
In high doses, Purple Headband can turn an otherwise pleasant high into an overwhelming experience. Characterizing it is a temporary dizziness and a feeling of paranoia that is triggered by heightened sensitivities during its stimulating onset. At times, a headache accompanies the symptoms of greening out.
Apart from managing consumption, users may also avoid the uncomfortable effects by staying still and limiting doses.

Growing
Purple Headband is a sturdy strain with thick branches that do not break off easily from the weight of its buds.
It rarely requires support too, even when fazed by a strong breeze. If anything, the gust of wind will only strengthen its already hardy structure. With that said, the best place to grow the plant is in a garden or farm where it can flourish without being limited by the four walls of an indoor growing space.
It will need a temporary enclosing during harsh weather that might stunt its growth or kill it off completely. It is also for the same reason that certain growers prefer cultivating the strain indoors.
