Biscotti Mintz Feminized Seeds (Barney's Farm)

Superb. This is the strongest strain I've ever tried. A direct connection to space and the other world in general. Incredible relaxation of mind and body, revealing all the hidden corners of consciousness. Growing is not complicated. The plants grow to 60 cm, taking into account the curvature. The pots are 25 liters. You get 100 grams from one plant. Vegetation lasts 6 weeks, flowering 9 weeks. Total is 305 grams from 3 plants. Incredibly strong. Direct access to the astral plane.

I wouldn't say this is a good choice for the inexperienced, especially beginners. It requires constant attention and stability. It will grow, but only if it's grown for the sake of growing. It's unlikely that people would buy seeds at such a price just to grow sticks and foliage. We need buds, and the higher the quality, the better. But experienced growers will love it. Beautiful plants, the foliage darkens at the end if you lower the temperature. Well, it's covered in resin, it just shines. And the effect is pure madness. It has everything. The inability to move, and a distortion of space and time, and there are hallucinations. An interesting experience, but definitely not for everyday use.

More yes than no. The seeds are expensive, yes, but you pay for consistency. Generally, for me, everything germinates perfectly at Barneys. The conditions are standard. Indoors, stability. I only checked the humidity and didn't overwater. It's better to do it more often, but in smaller portions, and then it's better to grow in bags. The structure isn't too dense, but there's a lot of foliage, although during flowering you can cut off the excess; it will be better for the buds. The smell is strong, pungent from the plant, so you shouldn't grow it without a filter if that's your concern. But the dried buds in the pot already smell of coffee and menthol. There's no sweetness in the taste, the usual kush taste. The effect takes over immediately. It immediately hits the mind, then the body.

I'm completely satisfied with the effect, 100%. The same goes for the taste and smell. It was easy to grow; the plant didn't need anything special. I managed to get 150 grams from half a square meter—that's half of what was advertised. Be careful when smoking it; the effect is extraordinary. If you know your limits and don't rush into things, you won't lose control of your body and mind, because the weed doesn't take over immediately.

Very strong strain, I haven't experienced anything like this in a while. Almost like you collapse after every hit, like smoking Afghani 15 years ago.

The cultivation was easy, one of the easiest, and I've grown many photoperiod varieties. 7 weeks of vegetation with scrogging, 8 weeks of flowering, and from 3 plants (0.7 m²) I got 400 grams. The lighting was HPS 400w. In fact, I got 1 g for 1 W! The smell during flowering is strong; without a filter, it's impossible. Very forgiving, because I still do them due to my lack of experience. Now, let's talk about the effect. It's very strong and very interesting: at first, laziness and immobility set in, but then body control returns. Although you remain relaxed, mental calm sets in, and euphoria gradually increases. There is a feeling of a kind of warm, comfortable, and joyful cocoon, and your thoughts come to you at the speed of light. And all this without any stress.

I grew it again and changed my mind. However, the strain is not for beginners but only for growers with some experience. It needs stability in everything, even though it is an indica and this misled me the first time. Although there were no problems with germination and the first 2 weeks of vegetation, then stress after stress and the result was 30 dry grams in 16 weeks. And weak ones. The second time was the most responsible and concentrated 15 weeks of growth, but the result was definitely worth it - 60 dry grams from 3 plants. The quality is impressive. PS the plants darken towards the end, incredibly beautiful colas with buds.

The perfect combination of genetics and traits for an indica hybrid. This strain does it all. Strong, potent, and has an interesting taste. A must-try. The kick is really good for 20%. The effect is mind-blowing, psychedelic.

My friend and I grew one to see how it would turn out. I used hydroponics and he grew it indoors in soil. We use the same fertilizers - mineral complexes, plus stimulants, and bright light (we have 300w HPS per plant). What I want to say is that this variety responds wonderfully to hydro: less fertilizers, develops faster, is more lush, has more buds, and the life cycle turned out to be 2.5 weeks shorter than that of a grow in soil. Well, apart from the fact that the taste and aroma of the end product when grown in soil are more intense. But the effect after drying and curing is the same - a powerful happy stone that relaxes the body and enlightens the mind. It also relieves headaches and anxiety well, helps to quickly restore mental balance after stress. As for the aroma - wherever you grow, the smell will be intense throughout the flowering stage. So, a sealed growbox, a powerful fan and a good filter are a must

running barefoot in the snow

I did an experiment - I grew 4 plants, 2 of which I fed with mineral water and 2 with organic water. All in one grow box. All other conditions were the same. So, with organic water, the bushes grew more slowly, but more smoothly and harmoniously, and there were no excesses. But with mineral water, they even got stressed once, supposedly due to overfeeding, although I didn't give them the right dose, and I didn't control the pH and EC. This happened even though I brought things back to normal. Only with organic water, the plants didn't need to be rinsed, and those grown with mineral water were rinsed for 2 weeks, and still haven't been completely rinsed, because the finished product is slightly bitter. The organic water is smooth and pleasant, with a sweet, fresh mint flavor. The strength of the effect is the same in both cases, and the type of effect is also the same—primarily a combination of a physical stone and a mental high.

Overall, I was satisfied with everything, but I don't agree that growing this strain is easy. The temperature rose to 28°C, and the plant didn't look good. Then it got sick due to slight overwatering (I misjudged the necessary amount, got carried away - it's my fault) and during flowering due to slight underwatering, so as not to cause an increase in humidity in the grow box. It's also easy to overfeed if you give it only half the dose. It recovers well, but only if you notice something wrong in time. Beginners without experience will have a hard time. But overall, the strain is not bad. The yield is decent - above average. High potency, THC is clearly above 20%. It can easily send you to the astral plane for a few hours. It has a sedative effect, helping with pain, insomnia, and stress. But, oddly enough, along with relaxation, you feel a sense of happiness that you want to share, but can't - you're immobilized and sluggish.

Excellent little plants, compact and productive. The main thing is not to overfeed or water them. pH between 6.2 and 6.8. Bright light. Temperature range between 22 and 27. Humidity 55-60%. Organic fertilizer and no problems at all. Half a kilo per square meter is guaranteed. Perfect THC content, the effect is incredible and lasts a very long time.

It was easy to grow, at least indoors with 2 plants there were no problems. The smell was quite strong, but the carbon filter did a great job. I grew them organically and as for me they didn't need anything, I also did a little bending. There was a lot of resin, and the yield from 2 plants for 2 months of vegetation and 2 months of flowering was decent - 250 grams (70 grams of dried buds). The aroma of the dried buds was simply amazing and I was already expecting a powerful effect, but I experienced slight physical relaxation and improved mood. The effect came somewhere in 10-15 minutes and didn't last long - about 1-1.5 hours, leaving me very hungry and with red eyes. And, guys, I have a low tolerance, strains with 18-20% THC kill me and here is a light, mild and fleeting effect. I think these buds are suitable for daytime use and if you need to urgently relieve stress, calm down, and banish sadness. That is, for therapeutic purposes, but the recreational value is questionable.

One of the indica hybrids. Ideal effect, pronounced analgesic, physical and mental.

I don't recommend this strain for beginners because of its high watering and humidity requirements. I almost ruined the plants myself. Nothing seemed wrong, and during flowering, the plant demanded water without showing any symptoms of overwatering. And later, it suddenly started to wilt. I had to replant. Severe stress, from which the plant took a long time to recover, but which still hasn't passed without leaving a trace, reducing the yield. Another plant was damaged by mold, even with 60% humidity. The buds were used to make oil. But overall, the yield of the strain is high for a short plant, and there is a lot of THC in the resin, because it grows like crazy. With the first plant, taking into account the time it took to recover from the stress, the life cycle was 18 weeks, with the second plant, it was 15 weeks.

An excellent strain, without a doubt. But there are better alternatives with the same qualities. Out of curiosity, I grew two BM seeds from Barneys and two from another supplier. They are identical, but Barneys is more expensive. But it's still a very good strain, without a doubt.

This strain is a pure happiness, a direct extract from nirvana with menthol freshness. I am truly amazed. Will I grow it again? Of course. And more than once. I bought 3 seeds, grew 2, still have 1 left and will order more. Biscotti Mintz is the best that Kush genetics could offer, a true gem.
Both plants were identical, no phenotypes, grew 90 cm, I harvested 100 grams from each. The buds are small but dense and very beautiful, there is an incredible amount of resin.
As far as training, I used ScrOG - it responded wonderfully. The light was HPS 300w plus a small additional CFL illumination . I fed complex mineral water in 2/3 of the dose and not once did the plants show either a shortage or an excess of nutrients. Vegetation was 7 weeks, 9 weeks of flowering, 10 days before harvest I flushed it and as a result the finished product after curing has no bitter taste.
The smoke is soft, smooth, even greasy and cool like mint ice. Creamy mint dessert with spices - that's how I would describe it, the aftertaste is diesel but sweet.
The effect rolls in gradually over 10 minutes, so do not overdo it, so as not to fall out of reality for several hours. But if you are not greedy and know when to stop, then the body relaxes, the mind is cleared, the consciousness is filled with inspiration. The variety perfectly relieves pain

I germinated 3 seeds, all of which germinated successfully, but they produced plants with different phenotypes: 60 cm, 80 cm, and 100 cm under the same conditions. They grew vigorously, but their appearance indicated that they needed different amounts of nutrients and water, like children. I even gave them names for fun. There were problems with flowering—not at the same time, and because of this, the harvest was spread out over 2 weeks. Only one plant turned purple with orange stigmas (the one that grew to 80 cm). The other two were ordinary dark green. The largest had a predominantly Kush aroma, a bitter, earthy taste, and the effect was more of a sativa high, and the relaxation was insignificant. But the others had more of a stoned effect, but they also relieved pain better, although they caused visions. The yield isn't too high, but it's not small either. I think I'll grow it at least once more to form a definitive opinion.

The germination rate was 3 out of 3. Grows vigorously, eats and drinks moderately. A 15-liter pot indoors is more than enough to grow a dense tree about a meter tall. Three plants covered an area of ​​about 0.6 m2. They were in the vegetative phase for 8 weeks, and another 8 in flowering. During flowering, they do not stretch at all. The smell is of medium intensity, but, in my opinion, very pleasant. I can't complain about the yield. Not exactly as advertised, but given my relatively mediocre growing experience and almost carefree approach to growing, 200 grams of sticky buds from 0.6 m2 is very good. The effect is mind-blowing, very powerful, but it is at odds with the fresh smell. The aroma really hints at a certain euphoria and clarity of thought. In fact, you get a powerful blow directly to the head: everything relaxes - both body and mind. Then, of course, there is a feeling of joy, but it is more like a state of nirvana, of deep meditation. It feels like you are there, but not here and not now. Everything looks different, luminous thought forms appear, sounds take shape and color. In general, a psychedelic drug is needed, and, judging by the numbers on the clock, for about 2 hours. Once it lets go, you feel relaxed, calm, but somehow a little crumpled or something like that - you need to cheer yourself up with coffee or an energy drink, have a good snack and go for a walk in the fresh air, at least stay on the balcony to breathe the fresh air, if it is dark outside. That is why I say that you should not smoke during the day in search of inspiration and enthusiasm, if it is not yet time to rest. And in general, it's better to smoke alone, because you won't be able to hold a conversation.

Original taste, invigorating and refreshing while the journey itself is the opposite. The effect is nirvana. Total nirvana. Sometimes with thought images, auditory hallucinations, but it doesn't send you on a quest, you just lie there and enjoy the journey through the nooks and crannies of your own mind. I've grown both on organic and mineral plants. There is no difference. They grow well. They flower like crazy. They flower in 9-10 weeks. The plants reached 70-80 cm in 15 L pots. They stretch perfectly.

I wouldn't recommend it to beginners; they get stressed easily. For an experienced grower, it will be a walk in the park. I also wouldn't recommend the buds to beginners - the effect is too strong.

Just grow it! A strong and cool strain, which gave me a relaxing and joyful effect, but can also be psychedelic. Despite the fact that the indica is dominant and there should be a strong immune system, the strain is defenseless against mold. It instantly covered my plant. So I had to use 100 grams of an 80 cm plant to make oil. But the effect is excellent, even to the point of acquiring color and shape thanks to the music. That's why I'm growing another plant right now. I hope that this time I'll be able to fully appreciate its properties. We are now in the 6th week of flowering, and so far everything seems good. There is already a lot of resin, and there will be even more. There is simply an abnormal amount of trichomes - they are everywhere. Such a strain would be good for hashish.

I recommend everyone to try at least this strain - there's a good chance that fans of a combined indica-sativa effect and a refreshing spicy-menthol taste will greatly appreciate Barney's Farm's work. I liked it - not a favorite, but I will definitely grow it from time to time. This is exactly what you need to relax and restore your mental and physical strength after a hard day or a stressful work week: anxiety, stress, restlessness, nervousness disappear, you relax. You begin to look at the world and problems more positively, you see ways to solve them. But beginners should be careful, because the resin of this hybrid is just a time bomb: it doesn't act immediately, it happens gradually, but powerfully. If you overdo it, you can easily fall into the astral plane. I really like the smell of the buds and smoke. It's so fresh, spicy, the smoke is smooth, doesn't irritate the throat (maybe it's due to the long curing). But the yield could be higher. I grew 3 plants in a grow box. 18 weeks in total and only 60 grams. I thought there would be more, because the plants looked dense, lush and flowered well. But the buds are still small and there weren't many of them. But there is more than enough resin.

I've grown it twice and I'm going to grow it again, but I don't think I'll experiment outdoors: the yield is high, but rain and pests can ruin everything. There was one plant growing outdoors and I couldn't wait to cut it down, because either pests attacked (which is usually strange for Kush genetics), or at the very end I noticed small isolated mold spots. It's good that the plant flowered and the losses were minimal. But the indoor plant grew and developed without any surprises. Well, it was much smaller. All it needs is moderate balanced nutrition, plenty of water (but I reduced watering during flowering), and plenty of bright light. Next time I'll try SoG. The goal is to press 600 grams per square meter. About 400 grams have already been pressed, and I think that's not the limit. As for the effect, it's powerful and exactly as stated in the specifications: inspiration and mindfulness with pleasant relaxation. The body becomes lazy, but remains completely controlled. It also makes you want to eat. Dry eyes and mouth.

This strain was chosen for its medicinal properties. My brother is deeply depressed, and taking antidepressants only aggravated the situation, causing apathy. I suffer from chronic pain from inflammation and injuries I suffered in my youth. In fact, that's why we turned to marijuana—exclusively as a medicinal plant. The recreational properties are secondary to ours, but they're a nice bonus. Biscotti Mintz fem has become a delicious medicine for us, one that was able to relieve me of constant pain and discomfort, and get my brother out of apathy and prevent him from taking antidepressants. I don't know how it works, but it does. The only thing is that the strain is very potent and relaxes and soothes a healthy person. If you have strong nerves or physical tension, then it's fine. But if you just need to relax a little and disconnect, while remaining active, then it's a problem. It should absolutely not be consumed during the day.

A trouble-free strain, good for outdoors, but the plants are all different sizes, although the conditions are more or less the same. I only grew 3 plants in 3 different locations, not too far from each other, just in case. One was 120 cm, another less than 2 meters, the third 1.5 meters. Yield between 300 and 600 grams. The aroma and taste are those of the most ordinary hashish buds. Long-lasting effect of an antidepressant, muscle relaxant, and pain reliever.

This stuff is completely frosty and the smell is awesome. Barneys nailed it, as always 👍🏻 By the way, he landed a killer phenotype with this one. I pumped out some very wet, frosty white buds. Smell and taste? Absolutely lovely 💚

VERY strong. Only for those who are not afraid of intense psychedelic trips.

I grew 3 seeds, harvesting in early October. Cannabis flowers in late July-early August. I planted the strain and forgot about it until cutting. I planted seedlings in the ground, the shoots took root perfectly. I checked them once a week, watered them during the drought. The plants grew up to one and a half meters, covered with small but beautiful buds. The flowering scent of the 3 bushes was very recognizable. There were no pests or mold, even when the rains became frequent in the second half of September. 500 grams from each plant, a total of 1.5 kg of fresh buds and 300 grams of dried buds. Drying took a week at a temperature of 18-20 degrees and a humidity of 55%, in the dark, of course. After drying, I took a sample, but I wasn't particularly impressed - a typical indica stone, the smoke is bitter and harsh. But after a month of drying - it's a completely different story.
