Anybody run Barneys Farm LSD ?

A buddy of mine picked up some fem LSD from Attitude and I have it running now and its about 4 weeks into flower. Its a nice healthy looking plant and the buds are developing fairly well but it has absolutely zero smell to it this far. I am a bit concerned since I seen it mentioned in a "Worst strain you've ever run" thread and somebody said it was a total waste of time and energy.
It actually seems to be highly regarded on the 'Tude website where they call it "award winning" etc...
I'm counting on this girl to finish out and provide that "Narcotic, trippy high" that it was named after. So, any comments from anyone who has ever run this strain would be appreciated.

Shoot....Not very popular strain I guess eh...?

it's an OK strain. i wasn't impressed. i didn't like it's creeper KO stone. it was very similar to mataro blue when grown under a halide... grapey haze phenos with decent starting highs that creep into stones over an hour or so. the LSD was much more compact and mine had a mild but yucky sickly sweet cat piss on flowers & grapes odor in early flowering that faded to a nicer grape odor later. i will say that it was THE sexiest looking plant i've ever seen. my pheno was dark olive green with brilliant crystal frost highlights. the buds were very dense & sticky.

given a choice, john sinclair's sativa trans love is MUCH better! it doesn't couchlock, is nice & fruity and it flowers like crazy as soon as you switch it. it was MUCH faster flowering than about a dozen similar smoking jacks & hazes i tested it against with a very similar buzz. it's more like what i expected than what i got from the LSD.

i wouldn't call it the worst ever though. just about ANY other strain i've bought since the 80s that's nothing but stone sucks biug time in comparison. there's some pheno variation in the strain too, so you'd need to get a few to find the best keeper and would have to at least tolerate getting stoned to be safe. i just wasn't impressed. i've tried a ton of other fruity hazes that don't couchlock and DNA's sweet haze in particular is WAY better with a trippier & much more up high, though that one is a bigger strain that takes longer.

even though C99's standard clear headed energetic motivational buzz isn't my favorite, i like that more than LSD any day and it finishes in 45-55 days depending on the version you get.

LSD is OK, but sativa trans love, C99, and most jacks & hazes are better. rokerij's amnesia haze is a good deal and CH9's jack is pretty darn good too. TGA subcool's jack's cleaner 2 is way awesome as far as 9 week strains go and it's psychoactivity is REAL. LSD isn't trippy, just fun & euphoric until you fall asleep.

sativa trans love is a much better strain all around. it was wise of the breeder to offer his gear as freebies recently, that strain is the fastest producing strain that gets you high i've ever tried. i still wouldn't call it trippy, but it like shaving fun for sure & doesn't couchlock. the buzz is much more well rounded than C99 too. i'm planning on using it in a lot of my breeding for fast indoor strains with real highs. it's fruity side is very hazey too.

Yo Mann any pics on the grow. I got this same strain but mines is only in week 1 of flower not counting the transition part. But it's budding up real nice. I'll take some pics in the morning. I like indicas that couch lock you in. Makes you not smoke as much weed. Then you'll have more to smoke later then burning It all in one joint. I'm a fan of purple strains so this should do me good if it's what you say hazeyG.

Throw some pictures up if you got a camera I'd be interested in seeing that strain in action. Barney's Farm is one of those big name seed companies that mass produce their seeds, so its really a hit and miss with them

Hazey- Thanx man for the in depth opinion on her, I appreciate it. And yeah, my pheno here indeed is a picture perfect looking deep green specimen even still that its a month into flower. I dont remember reading anything about it having any grapey or berry tendencies to it. I can live with that though. Its just strange forr as nice as she looks, I'm not yet detecting any smell from it, nor is it developing much crystal coating to this point.
I'll put up a few nice pics of her when the girls wake up. They all sleep till noon every day, lazy ho's that they are

My last grow was Barney's lsd and I am running them again.

Was really pleased with the end product, not a sativa high tho. Its a cross between skunk #1 and mazar I think.

Are the conditions good, growing with hid's?

Should start to frost up soon for you. Oh and the strain is extremly hardy, can handle nutes really well.

Thanks Doc- that sounds encouraging to me ! Yeah, she was vegged under 400MH and now she is just at 4 weeks since flipping to 12/12 under 400HPS.Medium is Roots 707 She does look healthy. Here are a few pics of her out from under the HPS;



Oh, and she vegged about 4 weeks first in LST mode thus the colas as they are...

Aw yea that plant looks really good bro! Says in the Big Book of Buds volume 4 that she is 8-9 weeks indoors and starts frosting up and buds start swelling and getting dense at 5-6 weeks. Looks like you are gonna get a good harvest! What wattage HPS light you using?

400 on the HPS too bro, thanks man that makes it sound good too. The buds are swelling nicely now and its got big pistels, but Im still waitin on her to take on a little snow yet, and theres still nuthin for smell yet, even close up. She is a nice dank green though, usually I'm startin to die out with the leaves and stuff at 4 weeks but she's still....lush I guess is the word for it. Its interesting and fun as well to grow strains you've never had before, they are almost like different plants altogether. I have 6 runnin now in a sort of perpetual grow and 5 of them are different things ...And they all have different traits about them for sure.

That's how I like to do. I never settle on one specific strain; I'm always doing 5 or 6 different ones at a time in a perpetual as well. Yea that plant looks really lush and healthy at 4 weeks.

i'm not really much for taking pics, but i DID find an early one i took of the LSD at the start of flowering. i'm mostly into the smoke reporting thing. i get so effing annoyed at grow reports that are all pics and lists of nute levels and temps down to the minute, but that suck out on the ONLY thing that matters, HOW IT SMOKES. if it's stoney, i despise it. i will smoke fluffy, little, barely resinous looking wild grass smelling columbian gold ANY DAY over the most "bag appealing" strain you can pull because bag appeal is schwag appeal to me. it's indica propaganda to me.

sadly, the colors hadn't deepened yet revealing those cool "fish ribs" you can just make out in the pic and the resin hadn't started frosting yet. this is the best pic i took of the plant. i made a point of taking more pics this year and got every plant in at least 1 pic.

i think that halide bulbs bring out grape flavors in haze related strains. not only was my LSD a little grapey along with the similar mataro blue, but super cali haze tasted like straight up grape juice and joey weed's C99 had some grapiness to their odor too, but when i grew a C99 BX and a super cali x C99 under my sodium, the flavors were more generic fruity and none of the hazes or jacks were particularly grapey though they were mostly fruity too.

maybe it was the specific soil mix i was using too. that can make a difference as well. all kinds of things can make the same plant act very different in different rooms.

maybe a big part of the flavors i got was how much cooler that big spare room with constant cold air inflow was compared to the little one simply blowing heat out through a duct fan. temps were generally up to 80 degrees this time around.

all i know is that i REALLY like JS' sativa trans-love. it makes really nice haze buds faster than anything. the ONLY plant i had that flowered faster was my little masterkush autos with their totally uninspiring mid high with stone. until i try apollo 11 or some other fast "indoor haze", STL is my go to gal for fruity haze buds asap and DNA's sweet haze is my connoisseur grade haze with haze skunk & jack's cleaner 2 being my heavy hitters. STL just has a better buzz than C99 and especially LSD and is fruitier too. i expect to use it a lot in breeding in place of C99 for shrinking IBLs without adding that dreaded afghani stink & stone. i never would have known had i not gotten a freebie. any grower that has something worthy of showing off should offer freebies to get the word out.

i guess i just got a more indica pheno with my LSD than others have as their descriptions sound less stony and no one had the haze odor phenos i got. even though it wasn't particularly strong, that sweet cat "piss" (more like territory marking) odor in early flowering made me a little nauseous, probably bringing back memories of actual cat piss a former roomate's cat marked my closet with and the time i bought some actual cat piss bud a couple years ago. i could have accepted that if it weren't for the stone.

ALL of these fruity jacks & hazes smoke better than LSD to me even if they aren't as fast or compact:
thai skunk - high quality seeds (their haze skunk smokes nicer if not as tasty)
amnesia haze - rokerij (dirt cheap and no worse than it's rivals)
jack - CH9 seeds (might have been the trippiest after sweet haze, but got lost in the shuffle, re-testing)
auto jack - female seeds (for an auto, it was slower flowering than many other strains & hadn't improved it's THC profile enough to embarrass anything else it was going up against. it was still very good as most of the strains were, but not outstanding like sweet haze is)
sweet haze - DNA genetics (the BEST tasting & smoking fruity sativa, a little on the slow & stretchy side, but with extra quality to compensate. i expected thai skunk to be better after experiencing HQS' sickly potent haze skunk)
thai fantasy - kannabia (too similar to the others to stand out)
sativa trans love - makes bud & resin like a cash cropping indica
super lemon haze - greenhouse (yep... there stuff DOES suck! i didn't get the dreaded hermies i see reported a lot, but it took almost a month to stop mutating and grow out normal leaves. by the time it started flowering too, all the other strains i tested were already making similar to much better buds. it'd be OK if it was all you could get your hands on, but STL has the same buzz way faster and sweet haze has a clearly better buzz and is faster too.
super cali haze - short stuff (really wowed me with it's authentic grape flavor, but it's buzz was pretty similar to everything else here otherwise and another grower who's tried it was unimpressed and claimed it had a short lived buzz. at the time, it was only the 2nd haze i'd smoked and it was close enough to the other that i couldn't pick out a difference without a side by side comparison. now, i'm inclined to call sweet haze "the best" until i try someone else's that's better.
LSD - barney's farm (eh... just not impressed... it looks sexy and makes dense really sticky buds, but i see it as pointless with that stone still intact. ANY of the other strains smoke better and sweet haze in particular has the trippiest strain other than maybe jack. i'm giving that one a 2nd try to make sure as well as more euphoric jack 33.
mataro blue - kannabia taller and stretchier than LSD, but otherwise very similar with the difference being that LSD's stone starts as lead eye and mataro's is more of a body stone. both get you a little high to start and then put you to sleep in an hour or two.
C99 - joey weed (you can't get it anymore, but his phenos leaned towards haze qualities too. it's a very fast finishing strain in just 45 days and has no couchlock with a nice euphoric and clearheaded motivational buzz very similar to 17 week kali mist. it's a great strain, but only for activities. the other "indoor hazes" have a more neutral energy profile, some with stone even, and they have more psychoactivity making them more 24/7 fun as you can chill out with tunes or movies on them. it's too specific a buzz to be a favorite, but a total go to strain for annoying tasks and getting dates revved up quickly.

i'd bet a lot of TGA subcool's grapes & fruit strains are even better than most of these as his jack's cleaner 2 kicks EVERYTHING's ass i've ever tried that i can put a name to except maybe columbian gold and even then, it does some things better. i'm really keen to try his agent orange & A13 vortex next. where barney throws the word "trippy" out for LSD, JC2 delivers the goods for real as advertised as i'm sure all of TGA's other strains would match their descriptions. i bet his A13 x urkel (whatever it's called) is some really fun grapey high with a lot of attention to detail that defines a star breeder.

Thanks guys, Hazey its funny, I have my eye on Amnesia Haze as one for the wish list. I've read good things about it except the original AH is supposed to be a Soma product for the real thing although I know a guy at Sannies thats crossing it with other things and making it better still so I hear.
And I agree, looks are nice and all and looks can make money for those that sell, but I'm an oldtimer and I know what really matters and thats its smokeability if thats a word. I've had some of the shittiest looking earth smelling weed that could end up giving just the right effect nonetheless. I'm prone to hyper-ventilating panic attacks actually so I like a more cerrebral, "daytime" type smoke over the couchlock varieties, although the Mrs likesa heavy stoner. When she fires up her Herijuana, I'll find her sittin on the floor, bowl in hand out cold.

LOL, mine likes the giggly meds, which pretty much fills the entire spectrum....

Let me know what your final thoughts on the L.S.D. strain from Barney's, its on my to-do list. I have always been a skunk fan, big bud being the most popular grown in my area back in the day, good strong smell, nice taste & effect.
I am doing my experiment bagseed grow now, and have some nirvana wonder woman beans for my next, but considering mixing that grow with either the L.S.D. from barneys, or the WW x Big Bud from attitude. And ScrOG them...

Decisions decisions...

I am growing LSD for the first time as well. Was going to keep her as a mother but she has had a string of bad luck and didn't want to take clones off of a mother who was not up to her full potential. So she is about 2 feet tall in vegging and I just stuck her outside a week or so ago in a 24 gallon pot to see how it turns out during flower. I also read LSD mentioned numerous times in the "Worst strain you have grown" thread which also kinda made me lean towards not doing an entire crop of her.

Nice looking pics. Mine hasn't gone into flowering yet so nice to see what is to come.

A couple updated pics taken just yesterday. Its interesting about this strain. Just as described, all of its crystal dankness is appearing on it now as it heads down the stretch run of its last few weeks. Some, or most strains begin to crystal early on, but this girl was saving it up I guess. Now, shes looking more dank every day
Check her out:

Lookin nice dude

Found some pics from my last lsd grow. If I remember correctly think it was about 3-4wks to harvest.

Might give you an idea what to expect. 600w in soil.

Sorry about pic quality dude. Just looked at them and you cant really see much detail

Hey thats not bad at all. Yours looks like it has a little more Sativa influence. How was the buzz factor if you remember?
