I'm growing barneys auto sweetooth while my candy kush is vegging and it's over 4ft tall and super bushy and still got 3-4 weeks left:) super autos are great to grow while vegging photos i also have bio diesel mass and Big Bang and should pull around 8-9 oz from the 3. I like to have bud when I flip it saves me pinching buds early lol I got sweetooth the same reason I got ghs seeds because people slate these all the time but I've never had a problem with either. I think most are grower error and nothing to do with breeder here's ghs superbud from last grow ill post pics of sweetooth when she's finnished :)image.jpg

Critical Kush.

Here's a thang: got 2 rootbound, under-nourished cuttings of Critical Kush off a mate who's grow room had mold problems - these were just in a seperate cuttings tent. They were in coco, and I grow in soil, so already it was like "any point?" But I thought what the heck, as I'd just invested in small bud-box tent and a 400w dual-spec HPS. First ever grow, so couldn't turn down some free cuttings. Got 'em home, had to repot them....in soil. I wanted to do an organic grow, and had already invested in Oldtimer grow and bloom. So, not thinking much, just shook off as much coco as I could (fair bit was still left on) and potted them in 7 litre pots with lightly-fertilised soil from B & Q (I'm in the UK).

So, the leaves went super pale at first for the first proper week of vegging. And did I mention they were rootbound as fuck? Anyway, long story short, one hermied a lot, so got rid of it - that pheno was lanky and more sativa esque, even though CK is supposedly pure indica? Obviously not. The other pheno was short and stocky, but still with some thinner, sativa esque leaves. It was a runt - these cuttings had been rootbound for 3 months or more, in tiny pots. I gave them 2 weeks of vegging, and put them on 12/12 on the 18 Nov last year. Like I said, one got chucked. The one that remained sprouted 'nana's too here and there, which got plucked with tweezers and that was the end of it really.

Now, here's the thing - the other pheno bounced back like you wouldn't believe. Been feeding a 2litre bottle of Evian every other day, with up to 8ml of the oldtimer bloom in it. Been doing fantastic. The evian is practically pH neutral, and obviously cleaner and with less chemicals than tapwater. Had great success with it.

It's now a few days, or maybe a week, away from harvest, as I want all the cannabinoids and terpenes to max out (going for about 10 - 20% amber). It's on the start of week 9, and no amber trich's, though mostly cloudy by now. Looking like I'll get about 2 ounces at least from this one, rootbound, runt of a cutting in a small-ish 7 litre pot with normal soil! I topped it, so have two really chunky main colas, and all the side buds are dense and big too. The thing is very, very resinous, covered in crystals, and there's hints of spice, lemon, fuel, earth, and pine/fresh smells emanating from it. Supposedly 25% THC and 2.1% CBD, I'm pleased because been after a high (ish) CBD level plant that's also high in THC. Hoping for a mellow, thoughtful, feel-good stone from this one. I know I won't be getting much of an energy buzz!

So, growing organic with evian water with less than desirable starting conditions ended up with a pretty impressive plant for the size pot I have. It was in coco for 3 months, and managed to adapt to soil and organics quickly. Will have to report back on quality of the high etc. But Critical Kush seems like a pretty robust strain, and should be considered if high CBD power indicas are of interest :bigjoint:

If they are cuts(clones) from the same mother then they are all the same pheno.
Or do you mean they were all plants from seed? which would have different phenotypes.

If they are clones, that would explain why they all had nanners.
I toss plants that have hermi trait, always more beans in the pods.

So I am the only one to get totally sativa plants from a sealed BF Violator kush pack?
Mostly Indica strain, I still let them run to the finish; and they were all over 85 days flowering.

One was purple, but fluffier sativa style buds + it was the weakest potency.
The greener ones were a bit denser but still sativa highs, not very strong either like the claims of 25% THC.

10pk cost alot to not find 1 keeper
How many packs are you guys going through to find 1 keeper?

Ive been growing Barney's Vanilla Kush for a year now. Its probably my favorite plant, better than my Sinmint Cookies. Idk, maybe others got a bad pheno as they say. I only popped one seed and found a keeper that Ive been cloning since. Its a great indica, COVERED in trichomes like Ive never seen, and will put you to sleep. It knocked me out the first few times and I smoke blunts 24 hours a day lol, literally, I stay high all day everyday. It has a strong, sweet carmel/vanilla aroma that fills the room when you smoke it….HEAVEN! Barney's is good with me so far.


Edit: The only strain I like better than my Vanilla Kush is my Female Seeds C99, and my Greenhouse Seeds Cheese. The Cheese is my favorite of all Ive grown, next is C99, then Vk.

My B's F Tangerine Dream turned out pretty good, in fact I don't remember anything from them as being bad. If I had to nit pick, Red Dragon didn't get very big and the one Vanilla Kush seed I got as a freebie didn't germ. The Acapulco Gold, LSD, Blue Cheese, and Pineapple Chunk were all pretty decent.

I'm running some critical kush right now and they're doing great. All super strong and healthy. Stink like funky cheese and skunk. Almost 6 weeks into flowering and it'll looks like they'll go 3 more before I pull them. Just got 4 freebies from bf today along with a 10 pack of Nirvana seeds master kush and a 10 of bubba from gh seeds. Gonna pop the Blue cheese and the chronic thunder from barneys and save the freebie ck and pineapple chunk

Its not. I just did the June promo as well and I'm happy with the critical. Look up the barneys farm critical kush thread on here. You'll like what you see
Thanks big frostie, I wasnt really upset. Half the complaints about strains being shitty on here, Imho are a little exaggerated. Im happy with the kritical, and glad I got a cheese freebie that I want to keep and clone the hell out of. The tude must have felt generous because I even got 1 extra freebie from barneys, so 5 total free fems from barneys instead of 4. I got lsd, blue cheese, critical, pinnapple, and chronic thunder free.

I bought a 5 pack Vanilla Kush only one germinated.
3 beans of pineapple chunk 2 germinated
Was given freebie of the critical kush that germinated. This one could be the best of the bunch.
All are in the veg state doing well.
About to do some cloning. I doubt I will sink anymore $$ in Barney's Seeds.
Our next bean venture will be HSO
Blue Dream
Bubba Kush 2.0
Green Crack
