The name LSD Auto isn’t an exaggeration. This is one of those strains that can open your mind to new levels of perception — legally and safely. It’s the automatic version of the legendary LSD by Barney’s Farm, originally created from a cross between Mazar and Skunk #1, with ruderalis added to make it flower automatically and improve resilience.
The result is a compact, fast, and powerful plant with an effect often compared to a mild psychedelic trip — full of laughter, color, and introspective thought.
Growth and cultivation
LSD Auto is a strong, stable strain that grows with the signature vigor of Barney’s Farm genetics. From germination to harvest takes around 9–10 weeks, and plants reach 90–120 cm in height — a bit taller than most autos, but that also means higher yields.
Its structure is classic indica style: a thick main cola, solid side branches, and very dense buds. It loves warmth, good air circulation, and strong LED light (PPFD 800–1000 µmol/m²/s).
A light soil mix or coco with perlite works best. During flowering, boost phosphorus and potassium — LSD Auto packs on serious weight during the last few weeks.
It’s quite resistant and beginner-friendly. It tolerates minor deficiencies and mild stress training such as LST, topping, or defoliation.
Yields are impressive for an auto: 450–600 g/m² indoors and 80–150 g per plant outdoors, depending on conditions and light intensity.
Aroma and flavor
LSD Auto stands out with an exceptionally complex terpene profile — a rich mix of herbs, earth, and citrus balanced by a subtle honey sweetness. The scent in the grow room evokes a forest after rain with tropical fruit notes, and a noticeable Skunk background.
When smoked or vaporized, the taste evolves in layers: first lemon and pine, then earthy honey and spice. It’s not a dessert strain like Wedding Cake — LSD Auto is more of a wild, natural flavor journey with deep, resinous undertones.
Effects and high
THC levels reach 21–23%, and the strain’s terpene content — especially myrcene, limonene, and caryophyllene — intensifies the experience many describe as “mental LSD.”
The high begins with a rush of euphoria and creativity, followed by a warm, full-body relaxation. Depending on the dose, it can be either a meditative, reflective experience or a deep physical calm after a long day.
This is a balanced hybrid (50/50 indica/sativa), suitable for both evening chill and quiet, creative daytime use. Many growers describe LSD Auto as “therapy in a plant” — helping to clear the mind, reduce stress, and regain perspective.
