Lsd
Mazar-i-Sharif × Skunk #1
LSD is an indica-dominant hybrid strain that emerged in the Netherlands, popularized by Barney's Farm. It is recognized for its significant THC content and a distinct aroma profile. This strain is often described as offering a potent cerebral experience balanced with indica qualities.
Appearance
LSD typically exhibits indica-like growth, characterized by a compact structure with broad leaves and a prominent central cola. Plants generally reach medium heights indoors. The buds are dense and spade-shaped, often covered in a thick layer of resinous trichomes, giving them a frosted appearance. They cure to a deep olive color, sometimes with purple hues, and are accented by orange pistils.
Aroma & Flavor
The aroma of LSD is notably pungent, often described as skunky with earthy and musky undertones reminiscent of classic Skunk #1. A bright citrus note, frequently lemon-like, cuts through the heavier scents. Upon grinding, the skunk aroma intensifies, and sweet-sour notes may emerge, with some phenotypes expressing grapefruit or lemon peel characteristics. The flavor profile mirrors the aroma, typically presenting sweet-skunky citrus with earthy undertones and a peppery finish.
Effects
Consumers often report that LSD provides a powerful head high, characterized by euphoria, a sense of calm, and a creative boost. The strain is known for its uplifting mental effects, which can contribute to a feeling of focus. While predominantly cerebral, its indica-leaning nature may also offer a gentle body sensation.
Terpenes & Cannabinoids
LSD is recognized for its high THC content, generally ranging from 18% to 25%, with minimal CBD. The terpene profile often includes Myrcene, Limonene, Caryophyllene, and Humulene. These contribute to its complex aroma and flavor, with Myrcene adding herbal and earthy notes, Limonene providing citrus qualities, and Caryophyllene and Humulene offering spicy and woody undertones.
Origins & Lineage
LSD is widely considered to be a cross between Mazar-i-Sharif, an indica landrace from Afghanistan known for resin production, and Skunk #1, a foundational hybrid. This genetic combination is credited with its indica-leaning traits, robust structure, and potent effects. Barney's Farm is frequently associated with popularizing and stabilizing this particular phenotype.
Growing
LSD is generally regarded as manageable to grow, with a relatively uniform structure and strong growth, likely influenced by its Skunk heritage. It is known for producing abundant resin. The flowering period is typically around 61 days. While specific yield data is not always provided, its dense bud formation and resin production suggest a good potential harvest, especially with proper cultivation techniques.
