LDS is my absolute favorite!! huge buds covered in in arctic frost!! a bit on the spongy side once cured but a truly incredible smoke! these pics were taken two weeks ago. the smell is a bit weird but makes me smile every time i smell my fingers after handling the plant.
The shit is fucking nasty. Look at all the leaves in that bud. Barneys farm buys cannabis cup awards. Frankly I was asking for opinions on the strain, it's my opinion. You aren't going to change my mind, and maybe you should check the name of the thread. I think you might want to go post this in your favorite strain thread. I've seen a lot of people like it, but there have been some that absolutely think it is the worst ever.
or they bring the 1/100 pheno that actually turns out to be good and get a cup award for it. they probably have clones of the good pheno, they're just selling bagseeds and naming em cup winners lol
Whoa!!! Completely your opinion dude. never did i say anything to try and sway you thoughts. i just gave my personal experience. you have to understand that the way these plants mature and bud is dependent upon the grower and a bit of luck. you may have had a bit of bad luck where as i had a great amount of good luck. on my plants the leaves are huge as well as my buds, and removing the small leaves in the bud would be a waste because of the amount of resin glands attached. i am also going to keep the fan leaves because they are frosted as well(HASH TIME!!). im not particular to Barneys but i do like this strain. this is my third grow with this strain and it gets better as i make adjustments after every harvest.
try some organicide, canola oil, marigold flowers, and garlic in some foliar spray will get rid of most pests. marigold/garlic is safe for buds too but not everyone enjoys spraying their buds.
i sprayed them last thursday as well as yesterday with a very light neem oil solution. i had a small amount of bugs that were closer to the center of the plant but all is well. i believe the discoloration is actually nutrient burn. trying to push them to the limit this grow.

well... just saying here, it would be better to make sure to sex them first, cause those "indica phenos" that you kept, might be males... and the ones that "look sativa" sometimes are the females and they will get much bushier later on during flowering...
Damn no love for kc on these forums!!!! i just finished cali special and kc 36, found a real nice pheno in both strains.the cali finishes really quick and not sure how you got sativa pheno's out of a indica? low light will cause stretching and what appears to be a sat. dominant pheno. I'll post up some pics here of my kc brains strains i got.
Don't believe everything you read i will give my stamp of approval for k.c. brains just got to remember there old school genitics.
not bad
my advice is if you were going for the 36 to get 2 or 3 packs just in case you get a string of males or bad phenos... its only natural that happens that way...not bad
i was afraid of ordering kc36, heard the last batch was almost 100% male or something. maybe ill give k.c. a chance, a few years ago i didnt think they were so bad.
sannie stabilizes his strains pretty well, you get some variety but most look about the same but KC has been breeding for a while. i got some old friends still growin some KC strains, i think he bred danky doodle right? if so, that strain has some good reviews ive seen in the past. and yeah, cloning is the best way to get a copy of the original, id just keep reharvesting one mother and get clones every round, and backcross here and there.my advice is if you were going for the 36 to get 2 or 3 packs just in case you get a string of males or bad phenos... its only natural that happens that way...
it'll happen to other companies and their genetics too... even if they try to maintain "purity" or stabilization... eventually variation will occur... and then they will have to take two good phenos and then get them to "stabilize"... which again is only temporary...
the only way to keep purity is cloning... and even then after a hundred generations of cuttings of cuttings variation and or mutation will occur...
that is a good reason why kc's seeds are so cheap, it is because this is the case, but like i said earlier... just take a little time by doing a little searching through the picks of the litter and you will be very very pleased...
No this is her actual shape. no thinning or anything. this is a clone from my last grow though. the first cycles the clone mother was about 5 feet tall with the same branching. last cycles clone mother was 6.5 feet with the same branching as well. i like the way it grows. light can penetrate to the center without me even touching anything. i have never pulled a single leaf and dont think i will have to this cycle either.p.s. that lsd pheno on the left labeled 6 foot lsd looks very uncharacteristically thinned out lol
was it revegging or... creatively speaking... special decor?
yes... there are many strains regardless of brand or breeder (some just have a higher genetic disposition than others) which have the tendency to herm... and here is a couple of reasons why... when breeders breed in bunches as in "fields of plants freely spreading their genetics around... they are used to having males around them...
and only roughly 1/1000 generations of clones will ever hermie on you 
Thats the worst looking plant ive ever seen
