Truth Serum
Also known as: TD, Truth Drug
What is the Truth Serum strain?
Truth Serum is a hybrid cannabis strain with up to 28.0% THC, known for its talkative effects and citrus and earthy flavor profile.
Truth Serum is a cannabis strain with two distinct lineages created by different breeders. The original version was bred in the Midwest during summer 2006 by an underground breeder in Minnesota who induced stress on a G13 branch to create pollen that fertilized various strains, resulting in a complex combination of G13, Trinity, and Pineapple genetics. This hybrid eventually made its way to Northern California's coastline. Alternatively, Pisces Genetics developed their own version crossing True OG with Death Star genetics, creating a mostly indica hybrid. Both versions are known for their potent truth-telling effects that leave users incredibly social and outgoing with enhanced communication abilities. The strain earned its nickname 'TD' or Truth Drug due to its reputed ability to open up uninhibited communication, with historical references to its use in interview and interrogation scenarios. Truth Serum buds are characterized by dense, compact structures with forest green coloration, sparse light amber hairs, and a heavy coating of crystal trichomes that can reach up to 45% surface coverage. The strain carries a sweet tropical aroma with hash-like flavors and displays excellent resin production, making it popular among both recreational users and extract makers.

How do you grow Truth Serum?
Truth Serum can be cultivated both indoors and outdoors with moderate to advanced difficulty level. The flowering time varies by breeder: Pisces Genetics version flowers in approximately 10 weeks (70 days), while Beyond Top Shelf version flowers in 8-10 weeks (60 days for some phenotypes). Indoor cultivation requires maintaining temperatures between 68°F-80°F (20°C-27°C) with humidity levels controlled between 40-55%. The strain responds well to both soil and hydroponic systems, with hydroponic setups potentially increasing yields by up to 20%. Plants benefit from 18 hours of light during vegetative phase, switching to 12 hours darkness for flowering. Proper spacing of 18-24 inches between plants allows for optimal canopy development. The strain produces dense, resin-heavy buds and is considered suitable for hash and extract production. Harvest timing is critical - experts recommend harvesting when 70-75% of trichomes appear cloudy rather than clear for optimal potency.
