I started this plant indoors in March. I hardened them off and put them outside in late April under a plastic shelter to protect them from the cold. The thing I didn't account for was the fact that in April the days are still very short in Ontario. The result was that the plants went into flowering!! I had no idea that it could happen, and it took me a while to figure out the source of the problem. They were hardened off and brought out of 18 hrs of light, and put into the garden when the days were still too short. They tolerated the cold, and even a dusting of snow... but there just wasn't enough sunlight. So by mid May the plants in my garden were all flowering! I was so disappointed, and I thought my grow was going to be a total write off. You'll notice I missed a few weeks in this diary during this period because I was sure the grow was done for. Rather than rip the plants out, I decided to just sit back and watch to see what would happen. And then, as the days got longer the plants went back into veg... by the time the summer solstice rolled in, the plants were starting to shoot up new growth... but the leaves were all single blades until they started to stretch for flowering. This is when I started the photo diary back up. This variety grew very nicely in Ontario summer climate (Zone 5). She resisted the powdery mildew epidemic that my garden suffered this season. She was mainlined and her structure supported the weight of 8 top colas very well. The plants were not tall... compared to the other varieties I grew, but they were bushy with fat flowers ALL over. The yield is pretty crazy... stay tuned for the smoke report.

This fast flowering photoperiod strain is perfect for new growers and growers in the north where the summer is short and the cold sets in early October. The plants are resistant to light stress and to disease. I started this plant indoors in March.

This is when I started the photo diary back up. In the end this plant offered a bazillion smaller flower growing up each cola in a tight helix. As you can see it was a good yield. We did find a LOT of seeds, but considering the light stress, and the fact that there is at least one neighbour in my area that leaves his male plants to grow (he's a total idiot IMH thinking he's 'breeding' in an uncontrolled outdoor environment) the seeds don't come as a huge surprise to me. I'm also not really concerned... whatever. I'm just glad that my plant survived LOL. Bottom line, I highly recommend these genetics... Smoke report: We have got these buds in the cure so its kinds of hard to do a proper smoke report, but early signs point to a solid hybrid, with a nice heady high mixed with increased focus. The buds taste like delicious lemonade... The munchies are strong with this one... so vape or smoke it BEFORE supper... and your meal will taste absolutely delicious... whatever you make or how much you overcook it LOL. This variety is a solid choice. No surprise there... Its Crop King Seeds after all. They are one of my favourite seed companies.

This is when I started the photo diary back up. In the end this plant offered huge tight fat colas and a really good yield.

Smoke report: We have got these buds in the cure, but early signs point to a strong Indica influence, with a nice heady high. There is a gasoline aroma in early cure, but that may change as they cure progresses. Effects are strong with a heady relaxing vibe. The munchies are moderate, but I mostly pass out buy the time that stage of the high kicks in. This variety is a solid choice.

Great for outdoor growing in Canada... these fast flowering plants offer huge dense colas that are ripe well before the frost hits Ontario, Canada (Zone 5). The smoke effects of this plant (while we have not cured it yet) are heady and relaxing. It starts off nice and euphoric, and settles into a relaxing stoned feeling. Good for a solid night of sleep. The taste is more on the earthy side.. not a lot of citrus in it. These plants suffered light stress and managed to bounce back nicely. I saw a bit of powdery mildew, but the plant was ripe before it had a chance to take hold. I recommend these fast flowering photoperiod plants to all Ontario growers!!

So, I have to start by saying that this grow is not really reflective of the potential of these genetics, and I would really like to grow this variety again to demonstrate that. In this case, I made a couple of dumb mistakes... and I really should have known better. In the fall I brought dirt into my grow room that I had saved in the back yard over the summer, and then because that wasn't dumb enough, I agree to take on a plant from a friend that was moving to Mexico. Between those two things I ended up with spider mites in my grow room. The Gorilla Girl XL plant started off cute and short and bushy like a mofo.... and then she stretched out nicely. Her buds were frosty and dense... but the spider mites ate her roots, and attacked her leaves. I treated her with a mild insecticidal soap spray which kept the infection at bay, but I was never able to get her back to healthy. She was strong enough to make it to harvest... and I was lucky she even survived. We will do a smoke report later today... stay tuned for the update.

This grow was very difficult for me... it was my first encounter with insects in my indoor grow room. My Amnesia Haze started off looking amazing, with dense foliage and loads of branching... and then things started going badly. I was excited at the beginning because I got rid of my old LED lights and replaced them with new QB low temp lights. My temperature and RH% were spot on, and yet I started to see yellowing leaves and spots. I thought maybe it was light burn, or calmag deficiency. I had come to the conclusion it was a root problem due too small pots... but then I noticed tiny insects on my plants... you can see the progression in my photos. I had to remove one of my Sweet Amnesia Plant from the grow room because the infestation was beyond my ability to control. I had to throw away two smaller plants (different diary), but I managed to get this one through harvest. I clipped off almost all of the fan leaves, and I soaked the roots and stems liberally with insecticidal detergent. I sprayed the leaves down multiple times and then later rinsed them off... what a total nightmare! She offered a small yield after all was said and done... but I learned a lot from this grow, and I'm something to show for it. Smoke report: whew, not weak this lady! sativa for days... been high for an hour now and don't see the indica yet. Definitely reminds me of Cosmic Queen both in terms of effect and appearance of the plant and bud. I'm not sure it's cerebral, but I'm stoned and cross eyed and hoping I don't regret this in the morning, LOL. Hey, are you writing down what I just said? (yes, I am, I hijacked the grow report because we're too stoned to do it without help). Ok, just grow some :) Trippy shit. he he. My husband was so talkative on this stuff that I couldn't focus and he had to take over typing or a bit. Wish we had more of this :)

I have grown this variety from Crop King Seeds three times now, and this is the first time I came up with such a beautiful purple plant. She's absolutely beautiful. I planted her late in the season and put her directly into the dirt in my back yard. I didn't top her, or use any nutrients. She grew wild and au natural. She tolerated cold temperatures, damp rainy conditions, and also hot dry weeks. She grew like a weed... all on her own. The flavours are earthy and pungent, and the vibe is a relaxing body stone. It's my all time favourite weed for chilling after a busy day at work etc. No munchies. Just good feels.

This variety was super easy to grow and she survived all kinds of neglect and hardship LOL. I topped her and stuck her in the garden and then I ignored her for the most part... until I saw how amazing her flowers turned out. She took a long time to mature though, and we live in Ontario with a very short growing season. I'm not sure this is the right growing zone for this variety. She would have liked more time to ripen up before the frost and fall wind and rain would overtake the sun and warm weather. However... she survived strong winds... and even some broken and duct taped limbs :) I started this plant indoors in the spring during COVID19 lock down. The germination date was the week of March 25, 2020. I didn't start the grow diary at that time because I was having a really hard time coping with the COVID19 non-sense and I wasn't sure I was completely committed to properly documenting the grow. In the end, I think this grow helped me cope... ha! I hardened her off over the last week of April, and then put her in the garden during the first week of May. I didn't offer her any additional nutrients, except the compost mix that was in our spring garden soil top up. I watered her with a slow drip irrigation hose which I left on over night once a week or so depending on the summer heat. The buzz from vaping BlackJack is energizing and the flavour is citrus and yum! This plant delivers as advertised. Good work Nirvana Seeds Co.

This strain is amazingly easy to grow and offers substantial yield. The plants were robust, tall (7-8 feet) and the top colas were heavy and sticky. The rest of the plant was also full of flowers... and almost all of them fattened up nicely. It's fun to harvest a huge plant like that when there is very little 'popcorn' to deal with. The FFT3 was ripe and ready after only 8 weeks of flowering which is absolutely perfect for growing in the North. Only my fast flowering strains were harvested before the first frost advisory came out. If I have my choice, I would grow the fast buds fast flowering genetics on an exclusive basis. Not kidding. I topped one plant and let the other plant grow wild. Both were organic grows with no added plant foods etc. Her leaves were dense and a nice dark shade of green. The flowers were fat and sticky. They took a bit longer than the other varieties to dry completely. The smoke report is a tiny bit disappointing: it's not a super fun variety in my opinion. It's really mild and not strong at all, it's not even strong enough to put me to sleep. I suppose it could be a good wake-n-bake strain... but that's not really what I'm looking for. The flavour is amazing though! There is nothing dank or cheesy about this one at all. It's all sugar and berries. It's a good strain for folks that don't like to be punched in the face by their smoke, or that like to maintain control of the high... maybe it would be a good beginners strain.

This is a super fun variety. It makes me feel relaxed and focused. It's especially fun for gaming. You have to be careful thought, cuz it creeps up on you and can put you on your ass before you know it! I like to keep

A solid bet if you want to get good and stoned. Not a super cerebral vibe, just straight up stoned. The taste was mild... and not sweet in anyway.

I found this seed in bud that I harvested from my Barney's Liberty Haze plant. It was grown in my grow room and you can see my GrowDiray log of that plant. I am not sure exactly how I ended up with seeds... maybe there was light or temperature stress which resulted in a herm. In any case, I decided to grow this seed as a fun experiment. I didn't even know if the seed would germinate... but it grew just FINE. I didn't top it, or give it any special treatment. I guess you could say she grew 'native' or 'au naturel.' I have never grown outside before, but I had space in the garden, and the seedling looked healthy, so I hardened her off and popped her into the dirt. She ended up going into a huge monster of a plant. Standing over 9 feet tall I had to laugh out loud each time I climbed the ladder to inspect her top cola LOL. I had so much fun growing this plant. I called her Majestic Haze (we live on Majestic Drive) because I'm not sure if Barney's would want me calling her Liberty Haze. I can't verify the genetics for sure :) I wonder how plant breeders handle those kinds of things??... This bud is fun for parties and conversation. It starts out with an energetic vibe and then settles into a relaxed chill stoned feeling. We vaped our dried bud, and then we tried some of our hand rolled hash... then we settled in for the night. Woke up a sit high still LOL but it's Saturday and we don't need to go anywhere so it's all good LOL... This one is the bud of choice for house parties and silly Netflix watching. PS if you haven't see The Good Place... you need to get stoned and watch it. The total dried weight of bud from this plant was just under one pound @310g and we also ended up with around 120g of frosty trim. We also rolled up about a gram of hash which has some serious kick :)

This plant was easy to grow. She got off to a slow start, but ended up producing a decent harvest. The yield was pretty average, but she was super easy to grow. I just set her outside and let her do her thing. I did a bit of LST but not that much... I have just germinated two more plants and will use SCROG this time. I think the plant genetics are good, and I would recommend this as a great variety to grow. We vaped some last night and it tastes like candy. For real. and the buzz is super fun! I had the munchies like a mofo which is the only downside as far as I"m concerned.

We love Barney's Critical Kush Auto. If you have trouble with insomnia or anxiety, this is the one for you. Of all the varieties we have grown, this is the very best for bed time. It's strong and completely relaxing. We like to vape, and it only takes two tokes, and three at the most, and that's the end of the story.

This is a fun one. The high when we vape comes on subtly. The flavour is sweet and fruity, but also somewhat subdued. The vibe is fun. We give this a thumbs up. We would share this one with our friends.

This variety was very easy to grow. The plants were beautiful with cute purple hues to the fan leaves and stem. I'll post the dry weight in a few days.

This one was a little bit more sensitive than other strains I have grown. She needed a bit of extra TLC; lower nutrient concentrations, a bit of cal/mag sensitivity was noted on a second plant that I grew alongside this (but she wasn't included in the diary. Not sure if it was because the seeds were past their prime, or if I didn't get a good soil mix... but she smells oh so good. And the yield turn out just fine. As long as you pay good attention, you can adjust as needed.

Easy to grow, high yields.

This strain was easy to grow. Not sure what happened during the stretch tho... it looked spindly and seemed sparsely flowered even after maturity. It's possible I was too aggressive with defoliation. I'm growing more of this, so I'll see how the next cohort turns out. I'll try the bud in my vape tonight and then I'll come back with more info :) It was good fun. More of a day time variety, and it made me hungry!
