Barneys Pineapple chunk and Liberty Haze are some of the smelliest strains I have ever grown. I'm all about strong smell and taste. The Pineapple chunk I have is 10+ weeks to finish. I must say all the seeds had different charachteristics. I guess you pick the pheno you like.

so, I gather the tangerine dream beans I picked up are basically worthless, what about 8 ball kush? Thankfully I only grabbed those 2 from barneys....

No it’s kinda hit and miss with Barneys, but definitely do some research because compared to the new breeders in US its subpar. Like way subpar.

I can recommend gorilla zkittlez! It was a beast! Best grow ive done. Veg really quick and yielded great. From barneys I also done cookies kush and lsd. Good smoke but not impressed with yield and all over grow experience. 2 lsd yielded like 1 gorilla zkittlez. Maybe i just got a great pheno.

Doing some work for barneys so i got a bunch of seed from them of all new strains. Doing some skywalker kush now but after that im popping one of their new strains tropicanna banana, glookies, dosidos 33, orange sherbert or Purple punch. If they aint performing and satifying me im moving on or just doing gorilla zkittlez after that.

most of these old breeders like Barney’s are shit compared to today’s genetics
He’ll they where shit back then too. Lol The olschool that I totally respect Breeders is a Connesseur genetics CBD seeds HSO and Bodih
Where do u suppose all your new breeders got their shit from? And the old school breeders u mentioned are not really old school . Just fyi ,agree w u somewhat btw. Sensi, serious, Dutch passion, sagarmatha, greenhouse . Old-school

Seed sellers act like they are selling diamonds, but really they are selling coal. If you sort through enough of their coal you may find a few diamonds. I think the most likely explanation for all the very positive and negative comments about Barney's Farm is that they have unstable hybrids and the seed descriptions are based on a single (very positive) phenotype. You can find amazing plants, but you better grow a bunch and keep a cutting of every one. Personally I'm starting to prefer S1 seeds (selfed, feminized).

I have a Pineapple chunk lineage in veg and flower rooms right now that is hands down one of the dankest and best tasting strains Ive ever grown. I am loving this lady Ive got going right now. Ill post some pics from a few months ago. I havent taken any recent ones.

Everything I've had from Barney's excepting maybe a couple individuals of Blue Cheese and Critical Kush have been excellent. Yes, there is a fair degree of phenotypic variation, but when you get the beast bitch, she's absolutely nasty..

I've seen a bit of trashing of Tangerine Dream, funny because it's one of my most enjoyable grows. The first time I tried it I had two beans. Both ended up with central colas - not exaggerating - just about the same girth and length as 330 ml soda cans. This was under a 400W dual spectrum HPS and in a half metre tent with four other ladies. Large fist-sized top colas, each of them, and dense sub-nugs. They were long and stretchy, and in the last two weeks probably added another third in mass. Currently, I have a batch of five more on the way from new beans (sadly that was a long time ago and couldn't take cuttings): two are the same kind of stretchy phenotype and are starting to bulk out as the last ten days or so approach. Another two are medium height with already super dense nugs of medium-large build. The last is more squat, more cheese-looking, more flowers overall but smaller main cola, and ripened earlier. I also have a Cookies Kush with this batch, which is OK-ish, the main cola will be decently sized and dense when done.

I've also had good previous experience with Utopia Haze, G13 and Pineapple Chunk. Pineapple Chunk was absolutely immense last time, bulking out greatly in the last two weeks, with fantastic tropical stench.

My next round under a 600W and larger space includes Utopia Haze (3), G13 (3), Pineapple Chunk (3), Amnesia Lemon (Free; 1), Cookies Kush (Free; 1), Critical Kush (Free; 1). Can you tell I like hazes? :) I expect to see good results based on prior experience. As suggested, when you find the right pheno make it the mother. There are more than a few I wish I had kept (just a practical impossibility)... sigh!

interesting how much barneys this thread started with back in 2012. i didn't read much current stuff in the thread so maybe the hate still is there, but i actually got pretty lucky with the one freebie i got from them. i even have a pcik of the bud somewhere in the frostiest nug thread on here. the strain was vanilla kush. the plant itself was gorgeous and resilient and overall healthy regardless of how i grew it and i have cloned her and grew her many ways. pleasure to work with. the smell while not overwhelming by any stretch was unique and very pleasent. the taste was also good, nothing stands out there but it has taste. i would say the only downside if you even consider potency a downside is she is a little weak. i don't have lab tests so this is highly subjective but she wont knock your dick in the dirt. this is not a negative really to e because as a grower with allot of diff herb i don't need or want em all to couch me out or make me stupid lol.
this plant was a good match to breed with a stellar 79 xmass bud male i got from "useful seeds" on this forum you can see the male in flower on my insta the pic is a year or two old now and i dont use insta anymore really so you wont see much recent stuff. you prolly also see the mom on there im not sure but regardless i am attaching pics of the F1 i have 4 weeks into flower right now of that vanilla kush mom x 79 xmass bud male. the pics you have to excuse as i am at work and these are all i have on my phone atm to post. these smell so fucking strong and exactly like a funky christmas wreath it isnt funny. yo can see allot of variaton in structure even if not so much in the pics but most have that same smell. one has a peppery smell but most like a funky skunky xmass wreath like i said. being this is an F! run they are only in 1 gallon xtra tall pots organic recycled soil i make running in a closet under some old blurples. given the circumstance id say they look pretty healthy. one on the right i a bit finicky and not all are pictured either. my point is it looks like they have taken the healthy vigor of the mom, nothing high maintenece except that one and maybe another. ironicially these two lean og in structure so they are sharing allot including their finicky nature.
sorry for rambling about my current cross but i thought it was pertinent given i chose to breed with one of their plants so they are not all bad. they definitely got some fire at barneys whether i got lucky with the one seed i had or its all fire remains t be seen lol someone else can asnwer that one

I popped 5 critical kush fem 6 years back. Saved one pheno, And man everyone I knew wanted a cut of it (eventually they all got it) granted I'm in northern california we have access to any clone available. But 10 people I know got it and they all grew it for years. It was so dense and frosty. Tested at 26.5% Thca and 23.5% thc. I loved it so easy to grow, 2 pounds a light was fairly easy. Just a good strain. The only thing that people didn't like was it had a lighter smell. It needed to be crossed with something more fuely then it would have been a really awesome strain20160223_102652.jpeg20140910_104929.jpeg20150717_154257 2.jpeg

People like to shit on Barneys because Barneys isn't 'cool', but most of the stuff I've seen or grown is quality smoke. My fav is Mimosa. Got some in veg right now. Tasty citrus and berry with a nice uplifted buzz.

I don't care if Symbiotic Genetics made it first. Barneys made it better!

Barney's is like every other seed seller.
Nobody knows how a plant will turn out. Sometimes you get unlucky. Same with all plant seeds, weed or not.
I've been growing a laughing Buddha, it's been bang on. Few weeks to go, but has grown exactly like I'd expect.
