LA Kush Cake x Mike Larry sits between Headband / La Kush and Mike Larry: La Kush, which spent years circulating in Los Angeles as Headband on one side, the Gelato-and-Larry-OG cross Jungle Boys grew into a household name on the other. The reputation came from the flower before it came from the seed, which is the right order.

Written this way, Headband / La Kush is the mother and Mike Larry the pollen donor. Reversing a cross is not a formality; which plant carries the seed shapes what comes out of the pack.

Genetic Lineage

• Mother: Headband / La Kush. La Kush, which spent years circulating in Los Angeles as Headband. The name is the complicated part. Headband has worked as a brand more than as a single traceable plant, and several unrelated cuts have circulated under it. This one is La Kush, and it is not Loompa's Headband, which is a separate cut also known as Underdawg OG. Headband is usually given as OG Kush crossed to Sour Diesel, but the Josh D circle's account is that the original Headband was the OG Kush cut itself, renamed by Mojave Richmond to cover a transaction he was not meant to have made. Those accounts do not agree and no source settles them.
• Father: Mike Larry. The Gelato-and-Larry-OG cross Jungle Boys grew into a household name. Built from Gelato #45 x Larry OG F8. Attribution is split: most accounts credit Skunk House Genetics with the original cross, and Jungle Boys with the selection and the reputation that followed. It is the plant most of their crosses run through..
• What to expect across a pack. Two distinct parents means real variation in frame, finish and nose. Select early and take cuttings off anything you would want again.

Flavor and Aroma Profile

Two distinct smells, and a pack will give you both plus everything between.

• The Aroma. OG character, though growers who know it put it nearer the diesel side of the family than the pine side from the Headband / La Kush side, against citrus and cream first, fuel and pine underneath from the Mike Larry side.
• The Taste. Creamy citrus with an OG finish.

How the two sides differ

• What to budget. The documented side, Mike Larry, runs eight to nine weeks. Set the room to that and let the plants correct you.
• The smell is a negotiation. Og character, though growers who know it put it nearer the diesel side of the family than the pine side on one side against sweet citrus and cream over a pine-and-fuel base on the other. Neither wins outright in every seedling.
• Structure varies hard here. Og-dominant in build and behaviour from one parent; dense, compact flower with a heavy trichome coat from the other. Plan the canopy for the taller outcome.
• Opposite ends. Headband / La Kush is reported as the OG family's weight, with a diesel edge to it; Mike Larry as strong and relaxing, indica-leaning. The cross sits somewhere between and moves plant to plant.

Cultivation and Growth Traits

• Plant Structure. The two parents disagree here, so plan for range. Headband / La Kush is OG-dominant in build and behaviour. Mike Larry is dense, compact flower with a heavy trichome coat.
• Vegetative Phase and Training. Open the middle out early. Light reaching the lower sites is worth more than any late correction.
• Flowering Time. Mike Larry runs eight to nine weeks. Start checking trichomes a week before you expect to be ready.

Effects and Experience

• The Mind. Growers describe Headband / La Kush as the OG family's weight, with a diesel edge to it.
• The Body. Mike Larry is reported as strong and relaxing, indica-leaning, and that is the side supplying the weight here.
