Best&Worst Barney's Farm strain review

Got 5 seeds of Barneys G13 haze. Only 1 out of 5 germinated. I then germed 2 more seeds seedsman ww and orka from blimburn which germed in like 2-3 days. I don't know about Barney Ive been growing 6 plants at a time for 8 years now and get at least 85% germination, so i blamed the seeds. The 1 G13 haze that made it looks ok, but its only 2 weeks old, so i cant speak on the smoke yet. Anybody else have a barneys g13 haze experience?
 
I've grown 3 Barney's strains (10packs) LSD/Violator Kush/Vanilla Kush.
Out of those 30 s33ds only one of the Vanilla Kush was potent enough to keep and even it got culled after a clone run.
I got about 7 pheno. out of each 10pack > so very unstable genes.

Half the plants produced product closer Midgrade type buzz and a few had good potency but flavors were weak.
I've found multiple keepers from 5packs of G13Labs and Dinafem.
Even the worst plants from those packs were better than the best of Barney's plants that I had.
 
Now that doesn't mean I haven't seen some beautiful pictures on Rollitup of Violator/Vanilla/LSD(which actually sold me on them)
I got some that looked like the pictures...but tasted like musky sweetness or just plain muskyness after a month curing!

If bag appeal is all you care for then they are great strains but flavor and potency isn't top quality
 
If your thinking of buyin Barney's strains I suggest Older strains like Red Dragon or his Blue Chz
His s33d seem hit or miss with majority of them being far from a hit.
 
i agree with the older strains. laughing buddha is great and i believe it was created before all the cannabis cup rigging and bullshit. i loved my laughing buddha. if you can handle the long flowering time that is
 
I had a similar experience as kindnug with Barneys. popped 5 fem tangerine dream and only 1 made it.

Barneys needs a little work iMPO
 
popped a single seed of their vanilla kush and laughing buddha. neither made it. had a single BC, showed week 7 hermi flowers and needed to go 9 weeks resin profile was interesting though. greasy is the only way to describe it. chucking Aos pollen at it. Amnesia Lemon single was my only BF keeper thus far. great hazy lemon flavor, nice up hight, decent yeild, not a single stamen.

I have had some smoke this cut of tangerine dream a grower I know here in Colorado use to have the same one with the purple leaves. Wow this strain was so amazing I will always remember the smell of it. It smelled like a tropical tangerine fruit straight up FIRE! And the taste was the exact same. The grower would grow huge trees air this strain and he said it was a large yielder. Once I had strain I realized why it won the awards it has. It is definitely in my top 10 faveroite smokes. It was very exotic. This phenotype is the keeper one for sure. I would buy some clones if anyone had any available it is that amazing.

I dont buy any gear from them, but from what others have told me that have bought from BF's recently:

Best BF strain: NONE

Worst BF strain: Anything and everything else they sell.

I think they spend all their $$ on marketing and the CC and dont bother with developing good strains.

i bought 1 regular seed and its looking and smelling like one of the best strains i come across, i must of got really lucky exactly as described by barney, its in a sub tropical micro climate environment but i had some pinapple express autos turn out male and an LSD which died randomly at about a month and a half old. i am growing vanilla kush its going really well too. looks like the pictures and smells like description by barney.:???:
 
Whats up folks!!! its been 2 months since i posted here with those small pics of my freshly sprouted 8 Ball Kush from Barneys Farm. I must say this strain is a pleasure to grow. havent flipped yet but i will in a few weeks (shes already starting to show sex). I still havent trained these and i will in a couple days when i transplant into bigger buckets. these babies are being grown completely organic with lots of earthworm castings (thanks to the rev and Skunk Magazine for encouraging me to do an organic run). 8 Ball Kush is also very easy to clone with strong roots. i topped the 8 Balls and their tops were cloned and are the small ones next to the buckets. 8 Ball Kush 3 has 2 clones cause i accidentally clipped a branch a while ago when i was spraying the undersides of leaves in my garden. the branch was so small like an inch and i said what the hell ill try and clone her, i didnt even clone at a node section it cloned from the middle of stem no problem. ALL 3 WERE BORN ON JANUARY 9, 2013.
PEEP IT!

8 BALL KUSH 1 2 3

I initially ordered these seeds from Barney's cause i was looking for an Afghani or Pakistani type of nug wich are my favorites. and i liked the description.


My next grow is gunna consist of Hindu Kush from Sensi Seeds. and White Widow from DinaFem.


El Mero Mero.

fuck im sick of all this barneys bashing i have had nothing but good results from barneys in fact they are the one breeder i keeop coming back to again and again. i have grown out vanilla kush, laughing buddha, and morning glory.

the laughing buddha was awesome im going to be growing that one for many yrs to come best sativa i have grown yet.

vanilla kush is the heaviest yielder i have found yet with a unique awesome vanilla flavour when smoking, bag appeal is through the roof with real dense rock hard buds ligh green in colour and just covered in light orange hairs. im doing my second grow of this strain now.(this strain likes extra calcium)

Morning glory was not the biggest yielder i was expecting more but i did have some issues through the grow too. the smoke was incredible though a real hazey type smoke almost overpowering in a racey sort of a way not much on smell. that said this strain did well enough that im growing out some clones now to see if i can get better results this time around without the issues i had last time. (this strain needs extra magnesium)

im growing out tangerine dream next and i know i will get nice results. i have seen good grows of the td.
i reckon if you are getting poor results with barneys your skills proabably arent up to scratch because i have found them to be one of the most reliable breeders around

I hear ya. i know this thread is kinda old, but I have a word or 2 to put in with the comments.

First off, to all you guys bashing the Tangerine Dream, instead of just saying it was "pure garbage" please state why it was. Are you sure you just didn't know what you were doing?

I ordered a 5 pack of TD recently and I plucked 3 Sativa phenos out of the 5. The 2 Indicas I'm keeping smell great so far and are the squattest plants in my whole garden and I am going to keep it for SOG if I like the smoke. It's looking like it will produce one big bud stalk and finish about 24 in. tall.

So if you think it sucks, why? Did you only grow out one seed etc? Because if so, it's not a fair trial.

I just grew out 11 AK47 Regulars from SS and got 6 herms outta the bunch. That's saying a lot to have that many herms. I'm still not complaining that much tho, the last 5 are looking ok. "Will make the final call when they finish.

I got Plush Berry from TGA going right now and it is the best looking plants outta the bunch so I wouldn't knock TGA either.

I dunno, seems the people knocking aren't really saying why.
 
I am currently growing a TD, a LSD, and a Lib Haze. I have no complaints about any of them so far. The TD has been vegging for about a 10 weeks and the other 2 have been vegging for about 6 weeks. The TD has been just fine. It reminds me of the G13 we use to grow back in the late 80's and early 90's. Not much feeding required. It has been topped several times and will be ready to flower in another week or 2. The LSD and Lib Haze have just been topped for the first time and are starting to fill out.

I have stopped using nutes for this grow and am just using ph'd water. I did mix 3 tblspns of Marine Cuisine in with each 5 gallon container and that has been all the feed. I can post some pics later of all 3.
 
I've grown Laughing Buddha from Barneys twice ( 2010 and again 2012 ) both time cost £25 from local groww shop, ( 5 fem seeds ) both times turned out very good. Ive also been to the motherlode--eg Barneys coffeeshop in Amsterdam several times, ironic thing is the seeds there cost nearly twice as much as they did back home. These positive experiences of growing Barneys seeds had made it one of the better seed companys in my reckoning, now after reading you guys nightmare stories I'm not so sure.

But how many strains have YOU grown? You can't believe everything you hear. Sometimes you need to see for yourself.
The LSD is incredible. Needs A LOT of Cal/Mag but the end result is incredible. Strong Chemical like smell, and the high is great.
The Blue Cheese is great too. My favorite cheese strain so far (only grown 3 cheese strains). Bought a 5 pack and 1 didn't sprout. Still have 1 left. All the others were the same pheno. STINKY, STINKY, and super dense nugs.
I'm growing a Vanilla Kush and Liberty Haze right now, and so far they are a super easy grow.
 
Everyone seems to have bad experiences with barneys... For me TGA's hybrids were a night mare... Very unstable. Bud was good but just cant stand all the variations and unstable shit tga has. As for barneys, Ive grown out Critical Kush and Liberty haze. I popped one seed of each out of a 5 pack. They both grew just fine and I still have them as mothers. Liberty haze was a beautiful plant,lots of colors and a great producers. Everyone loved the zippity high. The critical was super easy to grow,big producer,super dense big nugs and a heavy high. I only have 2 experiences with barneys and have nothing bad to say...Their flower times are a little off but all in all great easy to grow strains I would recommend any day.
Another thing..Everyone says those cannabis cups are rigged for barneys..maybe so but I will say this about Liberty haze...out of about a dozen different kinds of buds nobody said that liberty is more potent but everyone liked the high,its a creeper but like an upper happy high. Everyone preferred liberty over the other strains..for example if I smoked critical Kush I would be a mess at work..if I were to smoke liberty I would be high as shit but uppity happy having a good time without feeling tired or slowing ya down
 
8 for 8 germination 7 strains BF P CHUNK is 1 of em!!!.... 15 for 17 first time germ rate... 1 LADYBOY... and that was a punk ass BAGSEED I started on turkey day... just hermied last week!!! I can't figure out for the life of me how people have such bad germination rates. BAD LUCK? REALLY..? I'm honestly not trying to come off as arrogant. I'm new to plants myself... but I just use common sense and try to use my better judgement to decide what to do with my girls.. IN EVERY SITUATION. I just love them so much and what to give them exactly what they need... NO MATTER WHAT THE STRAIN... I have 1 Barneys P CHUNk going at the moment...:weed: and she's awesome..
 
Not to sound like a prick but... A Veggin plant doesn't tell you much except maybe yield.
I have had 0 problem germ. any s33ds, infact all 30 of my Violator Kush sprouted.

The problem isn't germination or veg growth, it's the end product.
Out of 30 plants of a strain not a single keeper + 4-5 herm. that were pulled @ 3 wks.
Some were hard + yielded great, but the potency was "mids" at best and smell/flavor was musky/floral.

I will not spend $ on a breeder or strain that takes over 30 s33ds to find a keeper.
G13labs Pineapple Express 5pack gave me 2 keepers...Barney's is expensive CRAP
