LSD

LSD, also known as LSD OG or Acid, is a cannabis strain aptly named for its powerful effects reminiscent of a classic acid trip, highly coveted by enthusiasts of deep psychedelic journeys. Aside from its recreational benefits, this indica-dominant hybrid is highly productive, attracting the attention of passionate stoners and dedicated growers. Let's take a closer look at this remarkable plant.

Genetics and Characteristics

LSD is a feminized photoperiod indica-dominant (70/30) hybrid with a high THC content of 24%. It is the result of meticulous breeding efforts involving the crossing and stabilization of the genetics derived from the iconic Skunk #1 and the legendary Mazar-I-Sharif.

The plant has a compact structure with thick and sturdy branches featuring short internodal spacing. It produces pyramidal, sometimes round, resinous, highly fragrant buds that develop a seductive reddish hue when dried. The flowering period lasts 8-10 weeks, yielding about 500 g/m² (18 oz) of high-quality buds indoors. Outdoor cultivation is similarly impressive, with yields of 500-650 g (18-23 oz) per plant.

Flavor and Aroma

The dense buds exude a powerful aroma that will first freeze your receptors and then explode with pleasure. The composition of flavor and aroma is dominated by musky and piney notes inherited from the Skunk family. The initial pungency of the dense smoke evolves into an exquisite sweet citrus aroma and then transforms into a berry and piney bouquet with an unexpected touch of acetone and fruity chewing gum.

Recreational and Medicinal Use

The recreational effects are remarkably versatile and always come with a pleasant tingling sensation throughout the body. The combination of sedative and cerebral effects is only a fraction of the trip. You'll experience a burst of energy, positivity and creativity, as well as heightened attention to detail. After the initial sativa boost, the indica portion will bring the long-awaited relaxation in the embrace of a psychedelic stone.

With its broad terpene profile and the presence of up to 1% each of CBD, and CBG, the therapeutic qualities of LSD effectively combat stress, depression, anxiety, and loss of appetite. Having trouble sleeping? Rest assured; you'll sleep like a baby.

Cultivation

LSD is hardy and adaptable, offering strong immunity and low maintenance. The plant thrives both indoors and outdoors, whether tended by beginners or experienced growers.

When growing outdoors, pay special attention to foliar treatment with natural insecticides (neem oil, aloe extract, garden soap) and diatomaceous earth for the soil. Indoors, maintain a stable growing environment with special attention to canopy airflow and ventilation. For training, consider techniques such as LST, FIM and periodic defoliation. During flowering, ScrOG or trellising is appropriate. Choose pots with a minimum capacity of 20 liters (5.3 gallons) (smart pots or airpots). If you value discretion, make sure you have a carbon filter with an option for re-filling, as the odor will be quite strong during the flowering stage.
