Australian Dead Head
Australian Dead Head
Also known as: Ozzie Deadhead, Australian Dead Head
Overview
Australian Dead Head is a highly potent hybrid cannabis strain bred by Connoisseur Genetics, known for its exceptional psychoactive strength and complex genetic lineage. The strain was created by crossing Mullumbimby Madness with Neville's Haze, two legendary Australian and European genetics respectively, and then pollinating the resulting hybrid with reversed Casey Jones pollen. This triple-cross breeding project produced what the breeder describes as one of the most potent strains available, specifically noting it is 'not suitable for lightweights.' The genetics trace back to some of cannabis breeding's most celebrated figures, with the Neville's Haze component originating from seeds provided by Neville Schoenmaker himself, the renowned 'Haze King' of the cannabis world. Unfortunately, this strain has since been discontinued and is no longer commercially available.
The strain exhibits significant phenotypic variation, with flowering times ranging from 8 to 12 weeks depending on which parent's characteristics dominate. Early-finishing phenotypes tend toward earthy and diesel flavors characteristic of the Mullumbimby Madness parentage, while longer-flowering Haze-dominant phenotypes express intense pine aromas and flavors. Australian Dead Head plants are known for their considerable vertical growth and vigorous development, requiring multiple toppings and training techniques to manage height effectively. The strain's combination of legendary Australian sativa genetics with renowned Haze lineage creates a unique and powerful cannabis variety that represents a significant achievement in modern breeding.

Growing Information
Australian Dead Head exhibits considerable vertical growth and requires early and multiple toppings to manage height effectively. The strain is highly responsive to various training methods, making it adaptable to different cultivation techniques. Flowering times vary significantly between phenotypes, ranging from 8-12 weeks, with substantial yields reported across all phenotypes. Indoor cultivation is recommended due to height management needs, though the strain can be grown outdoors in suitable climates. Growing difficulty is considered intermediate to advanced due to height management requirements and longer flowering times for Haze-dominant phenotypes.
