Best&Worst Barney's Farm strain review

Pineapple chunk was supposed to be indica but both my phenos were sativa and one I even flowered for like 90 days and it still had weeks to go! It was a huge christmas tree the othe other a lanky vine style sativa with chunky buds and irish spring smell. I was not happy with either pheno to say the least.

But I did have a buddy who's friend grew some tangerine dream and it had excellent flavor, very orange, but it had no potency to it.

Barneys is hit or miss most likely because the value of beans they create, I'm sure they are sloppy or mix up beans, pollen etc which creates wild variety? Maybe?
Definitely think your right about the mixing stuff up. I bought 20 blue cheese seeds. The first time they actually turned out like blue cheese then I bought another 20 at it was like they were a completely different strain. That's unacceptable I think they are a joke of a breeder. I'd never buy anything of them again.

Barney has some of the best genetics!!!
Problem is, is that Barney must have gotten selfish!
Originally all his genetics were available for breeders in regular form. Then all of a sudden no more regulars. Just feminized!
That's when they went downhill as far as a seed bank. I wish I had gotten the regular Grinspoon, would have been invaluable breeding material!!!

I can really resonate w/ your last paragraph here. I see Barney's and so many other Dutch seedbanks still price their regular beans for $8+ per seed, usually only offering 3 or 10 packs. And I don't know why either, but seeds of Blue Cheese, Pineapple Chunk, Tang. Dream, and heck, even Violator Kush are nowhere near the quality they used to be. Tang. Dream was fruity tasting bunk for me too.

There is no reason to drop $80+ and roll the dice on the genetics, when seedbanks like Greenpoint and GLG exist. I would recommend buying American when it comes to seeds wholeheartedly =)

It yielded well but IMO was lacking in the potency department, I do see lots of good reviews though which makes me think I'm old and picky lol.
How long did you let it go? I'm on the fence about whether to run one of these just to see how big the B'S was really is, stupid marketing advertises these at 26% thc.

Mine kicked ass... Ran it three times and always had requests for more.
I know, lots say they loved it. I tried it twice just to see if it was my first attempt perhaps, and actually grew an outdoor crop of Seedsman free bees and still was like maaa lol. Again maybe it's my picky ways lol.

I've had similar experiences with Female Seeds Cinderella 99. Everyone raves about it. I have tried it twice and it was a major flop both times...

I see he has only crosses now, is this what you are referring too? Sorry for all the questions, just trying to pick something to get going for an outdoor clone run? It's been a long search lol.
You are right just the c99 is not on the site. You have to email him about it. Sorry I forgot that part lol
I am just finishing my first indoor run of it.Its in my journal. I first grew it outside last year. It does incredible outside. Very mold resistant. In my opinion it is a kickass sativa that does great both in and outdoor. It is everything I have read about for years lol
Cheers :)

LSD was pretty good, pleasantly surprised.
My pineapple chunk never sprouted, probably my fault.

Hi everyone, I just picked up

10 cookies kush
10 lsd
10 pineapple chunk
10 bad azz kush
5 peyote critical (freebie)
4 critical from royal seeds also freebie with the order

Germination on those 49 seeds?
49 cracked with 1in+ tap roots within 48hrs, planted rock wool, 1 of them was not looking great shell hardly split tiny tiny root so I just threw it in the cube regardless with a 100% germ rate I didn’t want to continue to germ it. , 48 popped within the next 24 hours. I’m about 5 days in from pop time right now. Still only 48 so 1 dud from 45 BFseeds
LSD has bizarre issue, nothing drastic. Seed shells were so rigid they popped still encasing the cotyledon , 5/10 did this, no other seedlings had this problem. I broke them open and gave them that little nudge they needed and all is fine. I damaged one set of cotyledon doing this, yet it’s managing to survive with about 90% of both cotys gone. So 48 maybe 47 cause I roughed her up. I’ll come back and show pics when I’m done with my reviews and if I have hermie issues or not. I’m a very experienced grower , have tried many breeders gear, clone only, bag seed, on n on. Not afffiliated with anyone just looking to give a REAL analysis of my findings with sufficient data: sorry but reviews based off 1 seed here and 1 seed there; not really fair. Any experienced grower knows you need a bigger sample size to find various phenos that you’re looking for.

And 45 beans, 5 strains, this is the review to go by. See you in 4 months or so

I grew out bad azz kush. I actually really liked it. Its a god nighttime strain I've found. I will hit it and then find myself staring off for a few hours. Yielded really well, grew pretty easy, one of the hairiest plants I've seen.

Barney's Farm Tangerine Dream: tasted like version sold at their coffee shops in 2014, tasty, fairly strong, hazy maybe insense-like, long-lingering smoke aroma. No orange or citrus characteristics at all, I believe that is all marketing bullshit. Nice yields of long, dense colas, but 1 of 2 hermed BUT the timer was fucked, so not a fair test at all. Despite their description, no support needed. Really, their descriptions could not be more wrong...they say it's indica leaning done in 65 days, but their video shows a plant nearly80 day range that looks sativa.
