Barney's Farm Sux

I got 10 G-13 white haze from Barney's farm through attitude (auto) original packaging. I have 20yrs experience.
The beans I got are sativia, but are 0 out of 10 for quality. It doesnt matter HPS or MH or both (1000w); the plant is leggy
and fails to head. I sent 3 e-mails to Barney's, and they did not bother to even reply, so their customer relations is 0 out of 10 too.
I used their e-mail system so there is no excuse,:wall: except maybe they are so popular they don't need to care?

sadly you are no where near the first person ive met to have trouble with Barneys gear. i know a lot of people defend them, but i'm not one of them.

if you really want to check out some good shit, and not just buy in to the Barneys and Green House hype, then go ahead and check out gear by Bodhi, DJ Short, Gage Green, Mosca, Mr Nice, or TGA

you would be very hard pressed to find bad reviews on these breeders from anyone that knows how to grow ;)

good luck

i grew pineapple chunk & it was definatly not ''as advertised'' i now shy away from barneys! sannies did me real good as did subcool,female seeds, & so far im happy with gage-green i grew superlemonhaze with good results but a lot of people have had bad results from them as well making me reluctant on taking a chance with them as well but anything else from barneys is out of the question

I'm growing Sannie's gear at the moment, order arrived in 5 business days...strong genetics. Never tried Barney's, but I've seen enough pics of their stuff here to avoid the genetics.

I hear this alot of barneys. I have a tangerine dream seedling I was planning to clone and fill a tent with but am now SERIOUSLY considering it, I think I will just stick with my G13 Labs Midnight Kush (which i am very happy with). I was interested in some new varieties and keep hearing reserva privada. I think thats where I am going to go to next...

Agree completely! I won't ever purchase a seed from Barneys Farm again. I purchased 38 seeds recently, 5 of which were BF Tangerine Dream. Well 31 seeds took fine, and of the 7 duds, 5 were the BFTDs. So zero for five. This is the second time I've purchased seeds from Barneys Farms, both times had the same results. I won't ever make that mistake again. I've never had troubles with DNA genetics, Dinafem, Dutch Passion, TH Seeds, and Green House Seeds. Barneys Farms are flat out ripping people off. I'm thinking they are selling their oldest seeds, at best, if they aren't committing outright fraud.

ive only grown sweet tooth from barneys, it worked out good for yield and potency
https://www.rollitup.org/grow-journals/240168-barneys-sweet-tooth-nft-grow.html

from my experiences with many strains over the years with just 1 or 2 packs of seeds it does seem like a lottery to me
not often are the phenos that similar, and not often are the strains like the breeders descriptions, but more often than not i get at least 1 or 2 that are nice and worth keeping to run again, so i am pretty happy most of the time

sometimes it works the opposite i get lucky when i never expect it, i have spent lots of money on seeds lots of time researching them , not liked any of them, then got something great that i like from the free seeds sent that i would never of bought myself being fems and from a less credible* breeder

peace :)

I have to agree Barny has problems. What I have from them has been mostly crap.They work as well as Green house .

Barney's farm IS ripping people off period. All beans showed the same crap genetics; it was no mistake. Auto is another word for maphrodite, so you dont get their strain.
I don't care as long as they are not being rude, Barney's are just damn rude.

Everyone know TGA is the best right now, but Gage Green is also high up there in quality. They work on smaller batches so it's not mass-produced sized quality. Pepe Le Dank competes with the more medicinal TGA strains. I also like Lemon Stomper.
That being said I still like some of Barney's work, Cherry Berry, Laughing Buddha, and Blue Cheese.

I have grown their Vanilla Kush and Blue Cheese. Both of which had good potency and yield. The BC did however produce a couple of seeds. I have grown GHS GWS which had great yield but the potency was about a 5. I also grew their Kings Kush which did not turn purple, had a low yield, better than average smoke and produced a couple of seeds.

That being said I too have read more than a few BF and GHS horror stories. I think I just got lucky my plants that hermied didn't have more seeds. I also would add I have grown the blue hash which was way over priced, average yield, average potency, and tastes terrible.
