Syd Barrett
Syd Barrett Strain Overview
Syd Barrett is a mostly sativa cannabis strain developed by Exclusive Seeds, named after the legendary Pink Floyd founder and psychedelic music pioneer. The strain is a hybrid cross between LSD and HellFire, combining the psychoactive legacy of its namesake with modern cannabis genetics. With an indica/sativa ratio of 40/60, this sativa-dominant hybrid exhibits a "short and dense" plant structure despite its sativa dominance. The strain pays homage to Syd Barrett, the enigmatic musician whose brief but influential career with Pink Floyd in the 1960s helped define psychedelic rock before his withdrawal from public life. Syd Barrett produces a "sour lemon Kush flavor" and is described as "Very Loud", reflecting both its aromatic intensity and potent effects.
The strain's lineage combines two notable parent strains that contribute to its unique character. The LSD parent strain was bred by Barneys Farm from Mazar-I-Sharif and Skunk #1, bringing euphoric experiences and powerful body buzz characteristics. The HellFire parent contributes a "complex blend of euphoric, relaxed, and happy effects, with bursts of energy" and "earthy and citrus notes with a pungent diesel finish". This genetic combination results in a strain that balances cerebral stimulation with physical relaxation, making it suitable for users seeking both mental clarity and bodily comfort.

Syd Barrett Strain Growing Information
Syd Barrett can be cultivated both indoors and outdoors with a flowering time of approximately 60 days (8-9 weeks). The strain was never available as feminized seeds from Exclusive Seeds, indicating it was likely offered only in regular seed form. Plants exhibit a "short and dense" structure with medium yields, making them suitable for growers with limited vertical space. The strain appears to be relatively easy to cultivate given its stable genetics from established parent strains. The indica/sativa ratio of 40/60 suggests plants may stretch moderately during flowering while maintaining manageable heights. Growers should expect aromatic plants that may require odor control due to the strain's reputation for being "Very Loud." The 8-9 week flowering period makes it a reasonably quick harvest option for both indoor and outdoor cultivation.
