Barney’s Boner Strain

Barney’s Farm has one hell of a strain hall of fame. With over 40 High Times Cannabis Cup Awards and counting, this seedbank has been dominating major league marijuana since the 90’s. Back in 1992, Derry, the founder of Barney’s Boner Strain became a Ganjapreneur and opened the first Barney’s Coffeeshop in Amsterdam. With a small team and a base in Cannabis Central, it wasn’t long before Barney’s gained an international reputation for outstanding genetics.

Few of the cannabis seedbanks established during the 90’s are still in existence, and even fewer have made it to the top tier of dankness. Barney’s Farm is the exception. This seedbank climbed to the summit, planted their flag, and stayed there. What makes Barney’s Farm unique is their hunger.

Plenty of seedbanks developed some one-hit wonders or perhaps a handful of choice hybrids, but then got sloppy, rushing out new releases and cashing in on unimaginative hybrids. Barney’s Farm never stopped strain hunting and innovating. They stayed hungry. They don’t ride on anyone else’s coattails and never take shortcuts.

Over the course of the past quarter-century, Barney’s Farm has grown to become an international cannabis powerhouse. The Barney’s Boner Strain collection is the cannabis equivalent of the Beatles back catalogue. Odds are, plenty of your favourite strains were invented by the master breeders at Barney’s.

THE TOP 10 BARNEY’S FARM CANNABIS STRAINS

Here are 10 of the best cannabis strains from Barney’s Farm!

CRITICAL KUSH

Critical Kush is a 100% indica strain with an impressive lineage. Bred from OG Kush and Critical Mass, it produces a strong smoke and a heavy, relaxing effect. Critical Kush will knock you over in the best way possible. Its properties are ideal for recreational or medicinal purposes. Because this strain is so powerful, avoid the temptation to wake-and-bake. Instead, let it envelop you late at night in a pain-relieving, sleep-inducing cloud.

Critical Kush is a resilient, fast-growing indica with a lab-tested 25% THC content. After just 60 days of flowering, these short plants burst with dense, crystal-coated buds. If you’re a novice grower or just love a classic indica, give Critical Kush a try. A quick skim through the review section shows you won’t be disappointed!

GORILLA ZKITTLEZ

This new-school hybrid was born from a love affair between Gorilla Glue and the award-winning Zkittlez. It’s indica-dominant, with a short flowering period and crazy-high yields. Gorilla Zkittlez has wild potency, reaching an incredible 24% THC. It produces fruity aromas and a powerful, thought-provoking high. So bake up some edibles, lay back, and get lost in the jungle of your mind.-

Beginner growers beware; you need some experience (or ambition) to get the most out of this strain. That said, if you treat her right, Gorilla Zkittlez will gift skilled outdoor growers an incredible 2–2.5kg/plant. Indoor enthusiasts can get a solid 500–700g/m², making this strain a smart investment in your future stash.

LIBERTY HAZE

Liberty Haze: this balanced hybrid will truly set you free. The pure strength of its smoke is tempered by an uplifting, social high. If you’re looking for a cannabis strain that’s got the best of all worlds, this could be your golden goose.

Liberty Haze’s genetics are legendary: it’s bred from award-winners ChemDawg 91 and G13. Rumour has it that the latter was developed by the CIA in the 1970s during a top-secret cannabis breeding project. Liberty Haze has a citrusy, skunky fragrance and a sky-high 25% THC content. Its seeds produce plants of around 1 metre tall with long, elegant colas. They explode with dense buds covered in glistening trichomes. Along with a fast flowering period, this setup leaves plenty of potential for high yields under the care of a skilled grower.

LSD

This mind-bending indica-dominant hybrid lives up to its name. LSD will take you on a unique mental trip, yet keep you grounded with a heavy-hitting body stone. Bred meticulously from Original Skunk 1 and Afghan Indica, LSD won third place in the 2008 High Times Cup. If you’re looking for a rarified high with near-psychedelic qualities, this could be your new favourite strain.

The best part? LSD is a powerhouse plant that will grow almost anywhere and is highly resistant to pests and mould. With a flowering period of 60–70 days, just blink and you’ll be ready to harvest its 24% THC bud. Now kick back and let the euphoria sweep you away.

BLUE GELATO 41

With a hipster name like Blue Gelato 41, you know this strain has got something artisanal going on. It’s actually a super-hybrid, created with Dutch breeding expertise and illustrious US genetics. Blue Gelato 41 is an elegant synthesis of Blueberry, Thin Mint Girl Scout Cookies, and Sunset Sherbet. This strain is slightly indica-dominant, with a clear-headed and energetic edge. Its unique genetics make it the perfect social strain, and it strays into psychedelic realms at high doses.

With a jaw-dropping outdoor yield of 2.5–3kg/plant, Blue Gelato provides you an impressive amount of cannabinoids. Indoor growers should note that plants can reach 150–200cm in height. While that’s on the tall side, it can give you a nice indoor crop with
