Best&Worst Barney's Farm strain review

Thought i would give an update on the Pineapple Express. it is day 77. I added a couple of lights hoping it will get a little more dense. This was grown with a 600w Vipar all the way until day 75 so whomever said they don't work you are a little mistaken. I believe they work pretty good. Probably not the best, but for 150 bucks i'm satisfied. I'm also satisfied so far with this strain. I have yet to smoke any though and it will likely be a week from saturday before i chop.PE 1002.jpg

I just got done with a small grown with a critical kush, and a liberty haze. I only have a small tent so I only popped the 3 criticals I had. Only 2 popped, so I quickly sprouted the 1 liberty haze seed that was a freebie. It was a sickly looking seed to begin with but it sprouted and immediately was a weird plant with no meristem forming. To make a long story short the liberty haze turned into a five foot beast that stretched 2-3 inches a day once flipped and took over 18 weeks from the flip to finish. It's been curing for 3 weeks now and tastes like shit, but smells nice with a lime scent. It's actually a pretty good, not to racy, sativa like high. The dry sift from trimming was awesome and tastes great. Practically full melt. Got a little over a qp of nice tops and about a zip and a half of popcorn and some larf. Will never grow this plant again as 17 weeks is just to long for me right now with my limited space. The critical kush was a pretty plant that finished about 3 feet tall with very little stretch. Did not produce what I was expecting, but it was kind of overtaken by the liberty. The critical finished in 73 days, had a fruity scent and taste, but was pretty lack luster in both departments. Also the high was kind of boring and not potent enough for me to want to grow her again. I am currently about 4 weeks into a tripple cheese grow with my last 3 fems beans. I have grown this strain before and it was a pretty good plant to grow that stayed short and barely stretched at all. She had a great blueberry/ cheese smell, and kind of tasted like a pb& grape jelly sandwich, that everybody who tried it loved. Most of all I know she finishes in 70 DAYS!!! I will veg her a little longer this time to compensate for the lack of stretch, so she yields a bit more this time (hopefully!). Out of the 3 triple cheese I have now, one is exhibiting that lack of a main growing shoot, or merristem, but is very short and bushy which I think will work out to my benefit with the limited height of my tent. The other 2 are pretty normal with one being a little taller and she is already showing preflowers at only 4 weeks since sprout. I have heard about barneys shit autoflowering sometimes, so I hope that's not the case here. Out of all three, the weird one has a super skunky scent to her. Not cheese or berry-like at all. Straight up skunky funk! And not the sweet sk#1. I want to clone her, but I don't have a separate veg tent. Guess I better get one quick!

So here we are at 3 weeks in from flip, some looking very impressive, some so so some are looking like they’ll yield pretty poorly in the end, but I’ve been wrong before.. here’s a panorama of the room thus far.. I’ll come back in a couple more weeks

Oops I can’t upload the panorama.. here’s half the room I’ll take some pics at lights out if I can

Just put them in jars ended up with 160 grams cured on the dot from 1 barney's farm Pineapple Express grown primarily under 600W Vipar

I have not tasted it yet due being in the middle of a job search. I will be able to taste in most likely 3 weeks and i'll gather 3rd party research this weekend.
Smells like pineapples with maybe some sandlewood I do think i went 1 day too long hanging on rack but it is kinda humid around here so should probably be fine. Buds were not dense 5 out of 10 on that front. Smell 7 out of 10 only cause it is subtle

I have not run those lights personally but ya that look damn nice for a cheap led for sure. Respect to you.. great job man really I mean that. And for being under a purple light and not being able to see detail they look very happy where there at.

Having said that. Imagine what you would accomplish under a 600 or 1000 mh or HPS/ timber, fluence, hlg led or another respectable company that I don't know of as im sure there are a few more out there. You did a fine job and the plants look happy at least to me. Looking forward to what you show in the future. Very nice looking. Keep em coming.:hump::clap::bigjoint:. Happy growing.

Thanks, I met a dude that has connections in a friendly state couple of weeks ago and he said he was gonna hook me up with what sounded like some quantum board LED lights in a trade to improve my yields.
I think they would help specifically with firming up buds more consistently. I pulled 7 ounces from 2 super lemon haze plants on my previous grow and no density issues with them but i still think better lights would improve the yield. They didn't veg well.
If i get an offer for this job I'll be purchasing a home and that will change my dynamics tremendously. If dude doesn't come through on those lights I think I'm gonna buy myself a DIY quantum christmas present.
Gotta keep learning and improving to make the world better. Lots of room for improvement. DWC grow is also one of my next projects

Here are some pics this is from 2-3 days ago they look nicer daily.. at not even 4 weeks some decent size buds considering container size etc ... I never get too excited before week 7-8 though lots still to happen. But most are quite frosty.. my green crack is so so very stretchy it’s being weeded out after this harvest , but even they are slightly better looking than the last run.

There’s a pineapple that 100% smells pineapple, I’ll try and use flash on all pics next time as it obviously came out way better on the last pic, ah well.. see y’all again shortly

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
Let me know what u think about the LSD and peyote critical. post some pics of the buds as well if u dont mind. good luck with the grow.

They are looking awesome! And I feel you on those stretchy bitches. I had that liberty haze on the last run stretch 2-3 inches a day for 3 weeks after flip! Definitely not growing her anymore lol. Keep up the great work!

lol sounds like ghost train haze...now that's a real stretcher.
Those stretch plants all I do is tie down branches when the stretch is on...works for me.
Most plants with haze in them do stretch.

Update on the freebie amnesia lemon by barney's farm I won from gorilla seed bank.

Less than impressed and even more dissatisfied. High= average. Taste= generic weedy taste Yeild= Great(from pheno #1) Trich coverage= absolutely ZERO! lol. I still have 9 more beans to pop. Most likely i'll pop em all and 12/12 them from seed as opposed to growing bigger plants, taken up valueable real estate in my flower tent.
I haven't given up on the strain just yet!

Was really excited for my 8ball Kush. It is in a 15 gal it's 5'6 and it's leafy as hell. I'm not even going ping to bother with the baby bugs I'll get from this. I'm guessing it didn't like to be trained and topped but it didn't complain just very small yield lmfao I'm talking .. these buds better become hard fast.

It was grown outdoor so no light issues there and my other plants were gorgeous because I still couldn't with a breeder I knew..


I wanna try it again I'm an indoor setting as a small plant and see how she does

(Brought her inside last week due to the weather being 10c now.)

Damn that sucks. i hate leafy strains especially since i grow outdoors and its a nightmare to trim. i wont grow a strain again if they are leafy no matter how good the bud is because there is just as much good bud that is not leafy and not a pain in the ass to trim.

Hey guys i was just browseing seeds on Herbies and found a breeder called Top shelf Elite. Go and check out their strain called San francisco sour dough & Nightcrawler. the genetics used in those listed are sick. the sour dough has Phantom Cookies x Sour Gelato x Elite Chemdawg and the Nightcrawler has Deadhead OG x Alien Nightqueen x Blue Moonshine. Actually all 6 of their photo strains has some killer genetics used. i like the sound of their Pineapple crack to with genetics of Pineapple Express x Green Crack x Chunky Cherry Malawi x Glass Slipper. Has anyone ever hear of these guys and tried anything from them?
