Barney’s Farm
It doesn’t take a detective to figure out how LSD got its name.
This variety lets marijuana’s freak flag fly, bringing out pot’s
most psychedelic qualities. The Mazar parent is a strain that
was probably better known by name a decade ago when it was
newer to the scene. Mazar has often been compared with the
better known White Widow for the similarities in plant and bud
structure and effects. Both strains are indica-sativa hybrids,
although Mazar is more indica heavy, as suggested by the
name, which references the presence of Afghani in the
parentage and comes from the name of Afghanistan’s fourth
largest city, Mazar-e-Sharif.
Barney’s Farm Seed Bank used these long established
genetics in combination with the versatile Skunk #1 to create
the LSD variety. These parents have passed along many of
their strengths. LSD is a hardy, disease-resistant plant that
thrives in nearly all reasonable growing conditions. These
plants stay light to medium green with leaves that split the
difference between sativa and indica thickness. Flowering
takes 8 to 9 weeks. At first the LSD plant may seem dense with
foliage, but the buds soon outshine the vegetation. LSD buds
form slightly curved corkscrew triangles with large stacked
calyxes and a profusion of burnished hairs. While plants remain
fairly compact and can be staked or grown successfully in a sea
of green, LSD also delivers satisfying yields as a multi-branch
plant, often reaching 600 grams per square meter. When
grown outdoors, LSD plants finish in mid-September.
The LSD flavor mixes a slightly nutty and earthy palate with a
dank sweet muskiness. Best of all, LSD lives up to its name,
delivering a vivid, euphoric experience that stands out from the
typical indica stone. While the body high has depth, the
strongest sensation is the super trippy psychedelia that will
blow the cobwebs out of the corners of your mind. This strain is
great in a stimulating environment. Music, food, and colorful
imagery will all be enhanced under its influence. However,
overindulgence or overly hectic situations may cause a sense of
being overwhelmed so it can be good to stay somewhere that
also offers a sense of comfort and safety. Medical users have
recommended this strain for nausea, anxiety, depression, and
headaches. LSD won the 2008 Cannabis Cup in the Indica
Category.
