Best&Worst Barney's Farm strain review

Last year I did pineapple chunk and for me they finished in 10 weeks
Was my first indoor grow and yield was good for me. 12 oz per plant
Barneys farm has thumbs up from me.

Do they have a best?

only barneys gear ive done is violator kush in 2008, was a nice plant which elongated a fair bit during budding, with pinecone type nugs spread along branches, wasnt overly covered with trichs though smoke & appearance were apt, dont think i will purchase again

I can't believe all the negative comments. I have grown Barney's Pineapple Chunk twice with zero problems. All the seeds sprouted and when finished...Buds covered in trichomes with a high that blows the mind. I'm wondering if the problems don't lie with inexperienced growers? I have a Tangerine Dream growing that is looking awesome. I love Barney's Farm, their genetics are spot on in my opinion.

Barneys farm never again!!!

Well the big shock. After opening my box, i couldnt believe my eyes. 8 out of 8 plant turned male. The seeds should be feminized.
I guess they werent. Im not new at growing but I have no idea how could that happen. Any suggestions?

Strain: Barneys farm - Cookies kush.

Happened to me with ch9 seeds. Aroma and bubba kush33 whatever the hell it was I was pissed. It's apparently a possible phenomenon. As I had plenty others that were fine in this same environment. 100% male plant in a fem pack also happened to me with one Nirvava Medusa fem. I used it to breed too. No mutations or sex issues with the offspring. Actually a great hybrid Venus flytrap(very good selected pheno, very strong) x Medusa male. Both strains desrve more attention really tho.


As for my EXP with Barney's:

One Crimea blue fem (2012ish) it germed and gave me a great phenotype of this unique, citrusy indica leaning hybrid. Nice bud formation, great potentcy, unique taste. Shame it didn't get bred or cloned

One Vanilla kush fem (2012ish)it germed, grew slow even for its genetics, never figured it out, the plant did terrible. I managed to finish it but its quality was that of the worst commercial regs u could think of, even the effect as sometimes that still comes thru. Nope this was just a really shitty seed that contained a total dud of vanilla kush. Not impressed. Have smoked other vanilla kush as well, some was good, but nothing insanely great.

Friend of mine has liberty haze. Looks n grows exactly like ghs "chemdog". Maybe a 6/10. Way too stretchy tho in growth. Waaaay too much. Nothing at all similar to mk ultra. So likely not even the same g13.

I still run a Red Cherry Berry which came from a single fem seed. Wonderful strain all around for me with the pheno I got. Really does have a very cherry cola like smell n taste. It grows big like the skunk in it, but the buds grow VERY dense with super tight nodes. More of an indica effect, especially the later u pick it. Surprised me in potency, even has a fairly slow tolerance build up. Think I got lucky and found a gem of a phenotype! Been growing it 3 years n going. Passed several clones along over the years of it... I highly recommend it. I hope to breed it

Critical Kush

I love their LSD as well....

I tried their vanilla Kush. There was no vanilla or Kush. They looked good in veg.

dammit, i only added that strain as a free option while ordering from midweeksong 3hrs ago, wish i had read this then...lol

Barney strains I liked, Vanilla Kush, G13 Haze,Red Cherry Berry, and Tangerine Dream. Ones I grew I didn't care for Accapulco Gold, Violator Kush, LSD, Critical Kush, and Morning Glory. The first Vanilla I grew was excellent, smelled and tasted just like vanilla extract. Grew out 6 more never got that pheno again. Tangerine dream can be hit or miss, G13 haze & Cherry Berry never let me down!

Has anyone tried Barneys Cookies Kush? I have five plants going right now, and they are all ginormous. They are just starting to flower outdoors, and smell amazing.

Just had triple cheese sprout balls. Always heard they had bad failure rates. I will never use barneys farm again. Ever. Even if it's a freebie I'll toss it

I would have to say that maybe barneys is not the best choice of breeders, there LSD I grew out was fucking fire!

I ran 4 fem beans a year ago and my most vigorous in veg started throwing nanners like crazy. Did that stop me and cause me to criticize them and give them a bad rep? No...

I pulled the tranny and left the other 3 be. I had 2 phenos very much a like, huge and I mean huge heavy sativa looking buds with a nutty musk and slight skunk smell. The other pheno smelled like lemon heads and was much stickier with less yield.

The high from the lemon pheno was very deep and stoned with a dreamy high, extremely potent. However, I discarded the lemon pheno.

The other 2 phenos was very sativish with a very upbeat and trippy feel. Didn't knock you out with a couple hits like the other but really expanded your mind and made ya happy. Very very euphoric... but if you smoked enough it would cause a white out.

Honestly it topped most every strain out there I had tried it was on the same level as sour diesel that was going around here for a while just a different ballgame of a high.

What I liked most about it was it gave me the exact same body feeling that oxycodone used to give me when I was an addict 7 years ago, but it was weed and it was natural and safe. Had a straight trippy buzz and very strong opiate wirey feel as well...

Also had my highest yields ever with this strain aside from killing fields. In a sea of green, in a 4x4 under a 1000 watter id pull 20 to 25 grams per plant in a one gallon container... fresh rooted clone, straight to flower and had baseball bats coming out of the fuckin containers man it was amazing, solid and fire.

I lost that pheno when my mother plant was moved outdoors to a guerilla garden and was spotted by LEO "choppers" and they fucked it all up for me..

But, I just received another 5 pack in the mail gonna shoot for that same pheno again and will make sure I have several copies of her at different locations in case of a security brief.

You guys that are putting down Barneys are either haters, inexperienced, simply had bad luck or give up too damn fast...

That is just my opinion and i'm sticking to it.

Has anyone had a chance to grow out or try there laughing buddha? Heard good things about the high she produces.

I'm not a hater, inexperienced or have up. I've got 13 others going and the only one to turn was barneys farm. Pretty bad when you are expecting it to turn because all the horrible reviews. And it does. Good for you that barneys worked. Didn't for me or several others

I have three in my garden right now. They all seem healthy/leggy...fat leaves like indica and very thick stalks. Minimal branching but long stable branches where there are. Grows like an umbrella not a Christmas tree. I am about to flower them at 3', tomorrow. I will keep you informed of their progress if you would like.

Topped them or left them natural?

A guy over in the auto section did their blue mammoth auto and it appears to be fire. Gorgeous plant. Made me order a pack to try

Avoid Cookies Kush (fem)! 5 of 5 all dropped balls about 40 days into veg, I germinated 2, then 2, then the last one. Seeds were purchased in July 2015.

I've done 15 Blue Cheese (fem) and they were all good.

Have also done 5 Vanilla Kush (fem). Just average, nothing to get excited about, but had no problems with them.

Been growing for 10 years, and never had problems until BF Cookies Kush. There is something majorly wrong with that strain.

Top dawg: junk...all the bud had little tiny green seed like things the size of pin head...absolutely no nanners or males nearby. Had other plants in the same tent and this was the only plant that developed these. I still don't know how they were caused.
Vanilla Kush : really nice plant...yield,bag appeal, aroma and potency. Keeper in my garden

I bought my Cookies Kush seeds from Single Seed Centre. Planted 4 seeds, 2 grew very vigorously in veg then one of them showed hermie and the other one full on male.

I planted seeds from about 5 other breeders in this current grow I'm running including Bodhi, Exotic Genetix, Greenhouse, TGA and Crockett Family. I had no problems with hermies with any of those, so I'm pretty sure it's not user error.

I'm never buying BF seeds again. Live and learn I guess.

Yea my 3 Cookie Kush were all girls but 2 seeded bad. I got 2 very Sativa phenos with a smell that I called "banana bread", and 1 slightly more Indica with a strong kushy flavor (it's the one that didn't seed). All 3 plants had good vigorous growth through veg, and tons of frost in flower.
So I think if you got a pack like mine you could get a decent pheno and be happy, but if you got 8/8 males in a fem pack, that's pretty fucked...

Best Strain - Critical Kush or Cookies Kush

Worst Strain - Tangerine Dream

Barney's Farm is a pretty solid breeder other than Tangerine Dream.
