Heir Heads strain guide
Heir Heads is a newer hybrid of Apples and Bananas and Runtz. People know it for a fruity, earthy smell with a little diesel and a feel that starts lively and settles down later. It's a recent strain, so there's less published about it than about its parents.
Where does Heir Heads come from?
Sources agree on the cross: Apples and Bananas with Runtz. Apples and Bananas is a Compound Genetics hybrid, and Runtz is the well-known Zkittlez and Gelato cross.
Who bred it is disputed. Some listings credit Compound Genetics, while others say it's thought to come from the breeder Kounter Kulture and is now sold through Conception Nurseries. Neither claim is confirmed, so the breeder is best treated as unknown. You may also see it spelled Heirheads or Hair Heads.
What does Heir Heads smell and taste like?
Descriptions mention ripe fruit, berry and spiced apple, with earthy and herbal notes and a diesel or skunky edge underneath. Some people compare its sweetness to Gelato, and a few mention sweet cherry or candy.

How strong is Heir Heads?
