Apricot Head Cannabis Strain Review – Effects, Terpenes & Genetics
50% Indica - 50% Sativa - THC 28%
Genetic Heritage
Apricot Head is a standout creation from Compound Genetics, the same powerhouse behind flavors like Jokerz and Marshmallow OG. This strain comes from crossing Headbanger (a Sour Diesel x Biker Kush blend) with Apricot Jelly, itself a cross between Irene Apricot and Jelly Breath. The result? A beautifully balanced hybrid that leans neither too couch-lock nor too racy — just the right amount of kick and chill.
The influence of Sour Diesel adds a touch of gas and cerebral elevation, while the Apricot Jelly side brings in sweet fruitiness and body-calming warmth. With this lineage, Apricot Head delivers a rich, flavorful profile backed by heavy potency and modern bag appeal. It’s becoming a go-to for extract artists, flavor chasers, and growers who like a challenge with a payoff.

Grow Information
Apricot Head is a photoperiod hybrid with a moderately vigorous structure and a medium-to-tall finish, especially during stretch. Expect a flowering time of 8 to 9 weeks, with indoor yields ranging from 450–550g/m² and even more outdoors if given space and sunshine. Buds form dense and stacked, with that frosted-up look that turns heads in the final weeks.
This strain isn’t exactly beginner-level — it likes stability and thrives best with skilled hands, especially in humid climates like Thailand where airflow and mold control are key. That said, it's highly rewarding in controlled environments and responds well to SCROG, topping, and light defoliation. With proper care, growers can expect consistent results, loud terps, and serious resin production.
Terpene Profile of Apricot Head
- Limonene – Delivers a burst of citrus zest, known for its mood-boosting and anti-anxiety properties.
- Myrcene – Brings a musky, fruity undertone and helps enhance the relaxing, body-heavy qualities.
- Caryophyllene – Adds peppery spice and may support inflammation relief through CB2 receptor interaction.
- Linalool – Contributes floral softness with potential calming and anti-stress effects.
Together, these terpenes create a multi-layered sensory ride that starts bright and ends smoothly.
Aroma and Flavor
Apricot Head lives up to its name — crack a nug, and you’re hit with ripe stone fruit soaked in gas and cream. During flowering, the garden smells like a fruit stand met a fuel truck (in the best way).
Post-cure, the flavor settles into a lush combo of sweet apricot, soft vanilla, and a lingering diesel bite that coats the tongue. There’s a faint herbal backnote on the exhale that keeps things fresh and complex.
Effects and Benefits
This hybrid hits fast but not hard. The onset brings a tingly cerebral buzz — uplifting, slightly euphoric, and gently creative. That’s followed by a warm, melting body high that doesn’t anchor you unless you overdo it. Great for those afternoon-to-evening hours when you want to stay engaged but slowly unwind.
On the medical side, Apricot Head has shown promise for easing stress, lifting low moods, and taming mild physical discomfort. It’s a solid option for folks managing anxiety or needing help shifting into a relaxed headspace without sedation.
Why Choose Apricot Head
Apricot Head is for growers and smokers who want the best of both worlds: mouthwatering exotic flavor and reliable hybrid effects. Its lineage is top-tier, its terp profile unforgettable, and the visuals alone are enough to impress even the pickiest connoisseur.
Whether you’re chasing resin, flavor, or just want something new that hits right every time, Apricot Head is a no-brainer pick for your next growth or sesh.
