Best&Worst Barney's Farm strain review

I’ve wonder about this for a long time, being from the US.. When I first started my hobby like a lot of people I went for cheap euro beans off of sites like herbies & attitude. Ran Barney’s critical kush & had a few stellar phenos & a couple decent (but not bad phenos) crazy good yielding for a kush, very nice fat nugs & a fruity pebbles pheno. Some had a lime candy nose, the ones I didn’t like where a semi bland sandal woody nose.
It’s been at least 5 yrs since then, & I’ve moved on to US breeders.. & honestly theres not much of a difference in quality, still have to pheno hunt. Ironically even though everything is super overhyped on IG with gelato crosses etc.. alot of these older breeders have far more stable genetics & more homogeneous results.
Like everything else gotta try for yourself, I hate hype.

Take my post with a grain of salt, it was my subjective experience. Not trying to defend BF I’ve heard equally bad things as well, more so getting at how frustrating it can be dropping $100 + on some hype breeders gear only to get herms & no uniformity.

Never grew Barneys before but thought I'd give them a blast, I did 5 Blueberry O.G, 5 Critical Kush, 7 Purple Punch, 5 Gorilla zkittlez from Barneys and 5 O.G Kush from sensible seeds own and 19 Purple Gelato ! The P Gelato was from cuttings, nice quality ! All plants are in same bloom room !
The Purple Gelato have had no issues apart from touch of deficiency which was sorted immediately ! All the others were Barneys minus 5 O G Kush from sensible seeds. Germination was all but 2 seeds which did nothing. I had 3 commit suicide by pushing out of cubes instead of rooting the cube. Seems to be quite normal these days reading online ! I did find a male in the purple punch ! No herm just male . Anyway had a deficiency which got many plants but not all ! Sorted deficiency out then noticed a plant with no issues had NANAs ! Then another, then another ! I have never seen so many types of herms ! Every type ! Female bud with 2 pistils and 2 tiny nanas !! If it was everyone or just one purple gelato I would blame myself but the way it's happened leaves only genetics ! Barneys need to grow out there own seeds, it's called quality control ! I will not spend anymore with Barneys ! All this within 26 days bloom !!

Ive grown, Vanilla Kush, Blue Cheese, Acapulco Gold, and currently I have a Pineapple Chunk growing in the garden.
From what ive learned, Tangerine Dream is really nice, but its not stabalized so you kinda have to luck out to get the good phenotype.

Overall I like Barney's Farm and next chance I get im going to grow some Dr. Grinspoon. I heard it was the bees knees if you like sativas.

I'd love to hear how your Sensible Seeds O.G. does seeing how I have them in shipment to me now.
Have you ever grown Sensible Seeds before?
I was pretty inpressed with how there Old Man Socks (a cheese strain) grew, it was very vigorous.

Only grown Cheese one time, I don't really remember it well besides it grew like a vine. If this turns out nice, I might finally pop my Deep Psychosis (Psychosis x Deep Purple) seeds from Breeders Boutique to explore Cheese more & make a cross out of the two

their version of the Blue Cheese I really enjoyed. Got a few of them as freebies from my very first seed order made with seed supreme. Very relaxing heavy body stone from her. Might make you a little foggy in the brain as it slowly drifts you off to sleep

Thanks for the report! I got the seed from Attitude, probably 10 years ago. We'll see how it stacks up against some of the new new

I always thought it was a NL5Haze (psychosis) that is what they sell it as here in Wales anyway. Smokes like it to.

Hmm, dunno if I've posted this before in this thread, but I'm looking forward to trying Peyote Cookies outside in a short season climate. I am mighty impressed with how unique the terpene profiles are on the pheno I got. The smoke is almost like fine cigar. The aroma is of hamster piss and cedar shavings. Very unique and a frosty flower also. A few odd looking pistils late in flower but no seeds that I have been able to find.

Looking forward to a more extensive run with this indoors later this Winter also.


The other Barney's strain I've run is Critical Kush and it was ok but nothing really to write about, unfortunately. My sweetie did say that it was too stoney for her though, and she smokes all the things with me but she's a lightweight, so there is that.

I grew out their Pineapple Chunk and was very pleased. Great bag appeal, above average yield and smells/smokes true to it's name. It's aged well in the jar too. I would grow it again now if I had the space..

i just grew and harvested that 2 weeks ago. I got a little purple in my buds, but never got really big, as it first topped itself at week 3 of veg and had 2 polyploid limbs too. Like you said though, she smokes like her name says.

I have also grown and enjoyed their Gorilla Zkittlez, Peyote Critical and Shiskaberry. I grew their Glookies a couple times and enjoy but not the above strains. Orange Sherbert I didn’t like at all at first but she has developed a nice stoney sleepy aid for my insomnia after curing in the jars for 10+ months. Half the seeds were sent by them for to me do a growdiaries journal. Recently bought their Mimosa EVO which I’ll grow come the fall/early winter
