Norden Seeds. Swedish breeder

Can't speak for Barney's, haven't tried their lines yet. But I can say that genetics are a major influence in all factors concerning quality. For instance: my first 2 grows were bag seed from a dispensary and got 2 oz per plant (indoor kept them small) my first auto from marijuana-seeds.nl dropped 3.5 oz herself. Personally if you've got the money to try some new genetics, why wouldn't you. Sure they may be more expensive but you could find your perfect strain. This was caramelicious auto.

Oh, keep searching seed banks. I'm liking the selection on alibongo. Not sure where you are but I got my order from England, somewhere, to the central u.s.a. in 11 days. And they have some pretty cheap seeds themselves. I'm going to have to look up norden

Barneys farms are renowned as being one of the worst breeders in the industry. Do not buy their seeds. Last batch I did of theirs was nearly a decade ago or more was their blue cheese. 4 out of 5 plants had no smell and only one had a faint smell of blue cheese. A few years before ( when blue cheese an cheese just released in seed form) their blue cheese was really good and what you would expect but they have gone way down in quality since. I Havnt done any of theirs since due to the poor results from the blue cheese an one or 2 other strains I tried too. but a lot of people think their genetics are also very poor quality. They are also quit cheap seeds considering some seeds cost £10- £20+ a seed but with those more expensive I found if you choose the right breeder you often get really amazing plants and it’s worth the money.

I jus did some in house genetics for my first IHG run of their gear and their packs are £170-£240 for 10-12 female seeds but they are some of the best plants I have had in close to a decade and well worth the money for me. I’ve had some strains/plants just as good but the breeder is no longer making their strains available anymore and those were cheaper at £60 for 11 regulars. Most other cheaper breeders I’ve tried have had good plants but it’s not consistent enough and if you only grow a few you can end up with half your stash having no smell or flavour and being bland tasting bud.

Don’t get me wrong tho there’s a lot of amazing breeders that sell their seeds relatively cheap and likewise there’s a lot of shitty breeders that sell their beans for crazy high prices so price definitely does not dictate quality. You jus need to know what’s what and this forum is quit a good place for that. There’s a few certain breeders with a long history of posts about their strains so you can usually tell which ones are good and which breeders are generally not worth your time. It jus takes a bit of time researching.

As a word of advice though stay away from barneys farm and probably green house seeds (I’ve had good results personally with their stuff tho but many people have not) there’s probably a load of other breeders you should stay away from too but I can’t remember off hand.
