Biscotti Mintz Feminized Seeds (Barney's Farm)

Superb. This is the strongest variety I have ever tried. Direct link to outer space and to the other world in general. Incredible mind and body relaxation, revealing all the hidden corners of consciousness. Growing is basically nothing complicated. Plants are 2 feet, taking into account the bend. Pots are 7 gallons. You get 3,5 oz from a plant. Vegetation is 6 weeks, flowering is 9 weeks. Total is almost 11 oz from 3 plants. Unbelievably strong. Direct access to the astral plane.

I wouldn't say it's a good fit for the inexperienced and especially for beginners. It requires constant attention and stability. It will grow, but only if it's a grow for the sake of growing. It's unlikely that people will buy seeds at such a price just to grow sticks and foliage. We need buds and the higher the quality, the better is. But experienced ones will like it. Beautiful plants, the foliage darkens at the end if you lower the temperature. Well, it's covered in resin, it just glows. 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 every day use.

More of a yes than a no. The seeds are expensive, but you pay for consistency. From my experience everything germinates perfectly from Barneys.
The conditions are standard. I only controlled the humidity and did not water it too much. Better do it more often but in smaller portions and then it is better to grow in bags. The structure is not too dense but there is a lot of foliage, although during flowering you can cut off the excess, it will be better for the buds.
The smell from the plant is strong, sharp, so you should not grow without a filter if that's your concern. But the dried buds in the jar already smell like coffee and menthol. There is no sweetness in the taste, the usual kush taste.
The effect overtakes immediately. It hits the mind first, then the body.

Totally 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. From half a square metre managed to get 150 grams - it's half of what was advertised.
Be careful when smoking it, the effect is something out of this world. If you know your limits, don't rush it, then you won't lose control of your body and mind since the weed doesn't take over immediately

very strong variety, I haven't been thru something like this in a while. almost as if ur falling apart after every inhale like ur smoking afghani from 15 years ago

Growing 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 achieved 1 g per 1 W! The smell during flowering is strong, a filter is a must.
Very forgiving to mistakes, because I still make them due to little experience.
Now about the effect. It is very strong and very interesting: at first, laziness and immobility roll in, but then control over the body returns. Although you remain relaxed, spiritual calm sets in and euphoria gradually increases. There is a feeling of some kind of warm cozy easy joyful cocoon and your thoughts come at you at lightspeed. And all this without any stress.

I grew it again and changed my opinion. Still, 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. Tho there were no problems with germination and the first 2 weeks of veg, but then stress after stress and the result was 30 dry grams in 16 weeks. And weak ones. Second time round it was the most responsible and concentrated 15 weeks of growing, but the result was very much worth it - 60 dry grams from 3 plants. The quality is awesome. P.S. the plants darken towards the end, incredibly beautiful colas with buds.

Perfect combination of genetics and characteristics for an indica hybrid.
This strain does everything right. Strong, potent with an interesting taste. Worth trying. 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 conducted an experiment - I grew 4 plants, 2 of which I fed mineral water, and 2 were on organics. All in one grow box. All other conditions were the same. So, on organics, the bushes grew slower but smoother and more harmoniously and there were no excesses. But on minerals, they even got stressed once, supposedly because of overfeeding, although I did not feed them the proper dose and controlled the pH and EC.Only on organics the plants did not require flushing and those plants that grew on minerals had been flushed for 2 weeks and still hadn't been flushed completely (since the finished product from them is slightly bitter). Organic is soft and pleasant, with a sweetish fresh mint flavor. The strength of the effect is the same in both cases, and the type of effect is also the same - mainly a combination of a physical stone and a mental high.

Overall, I was satisfied with everything but I just don’t agree that growing this variety is easy. The temperature got to 28°C and the plant didn't look well. Then it got sick due to slight overwatering (I misjudged the needed amount, got carried away – my fault) and during flowering due to slight underwatering, so as not to provoke an increase in humidity in the growbox. It's also easy to overfeed if you feed it only half the dose. It recovers well but only if you notice something wrong in time. Beginners without experience will struggle. But in general, the variety is not bad. The yield is decent – ​​above average. High potency, THC is clearly more than 20%. It can easily send you into the astral for a couple of hours. There is a sedative effect, it helps with pain, insomnia, stress. But interestingly in addition to relaxation you feel happiness that you want to share but you can’t – you are immobilized and lazy

Excellent little plants, compact and yieldy. The main thing is don't overfeed and overwater it. pH in the 6.2-6.8 range. Bright lights. Temperature range between 22 and 27. Humidity 55-60%. Organic fertilizer and no issues at all. 1 pound from 10 square feet is guaranteed. Perfect THC content, the effect is amazing and lasts very long.

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 on organics and as for me they did not need anything, I also did some 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 dry buds). The aroma of the cured buds was simply amazing and I was already anticipating a powerful effect but I got a slight physical relaxation and a mood lift. The effect came somewhere in 10-15 minutes and did not last long - about 1-1.5 hours leaving me very hungry and with red eyes. And guys, I have a low tolerance, varieties with 18-20% THC just kill me and here is a light soft and fleeting effect. I think these buds are suitable for daytime use and if you need to urgently relieve stress, calm down, drive away sadness. That is for medical purposes but for others is questionable

One of the indica hybrids. Ideal stone, a pronounced pain-relieving effect, physical and mental.

Don't recommend this variety to beginners because of its requirements for watering and humidity. I almost ruined the plants myself. Nothing seemed to be wrong and during flowering the plant asked for water without showing any symptoms of overwatering. And later it suddenly began to wither. I had to replant. Severe stress from which the plant took a long time to recover but still it affected the plant, reducing the yield
Another plant was damaged by mold and this is with 60% humidity. The buds were used to make oil
But in general, the yield of the variety is high for low plants and there is a lot of THC in the resin, since it kicks like crazy. With the first plant considering the time it took to recover from stress, the life cycle was 18 weeks, with the second plant it was 15 weeks

A great strain, no doubt. But there are better alternatives with the same quallities. Out of curiosity I grew 2 BM seeds from Barneys and 2 from another supplier. They are identical but Barneys is more expensive. But still a very good variety, no doubt about it.

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

Germinated 3 seeds, all germed successfully but they grew into plants with different phenotypes, 60 cm, 80 cm and 100 cm in the same conditions. They developed vigorously but their appearance showed that they needed different amounts of nutrition 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 stretched out for 2 weeks. Only 1 plant became purple with orange stigmas (the one that grew to 80 cm). The other two were ordinary dark green. The tallest had a predominantly Kush aroma, bitter and earthy taste and the effect was more of a sativa high and the relaxation was insignificant. But the others had more of a stone effect but they also relieved pain better, although they caused visions. The yield is not too high but not small either. I think I will grow it at least once more to form a final opinion

The germination rate was 3 out of 3. A 4 gallon pot indoors is quite enough to grow a dense tree about 3 feet tall. Three plantes covered an area of ​​about 0.6 m2. They were in the vegetative stage for 8 weeks, and another 8 in flowering. During flowering, they do not stretch at all. The smell is average in intensity but in my opinion very pleasant.
Also, I can't complain about the yield. Not exactly what I expected but given my relatively poor grower experience and almost care-free growing approach, 200 grams of sticky buds from 0.6 m2 is very good.
The effect is stunning and very powerful. The aroma really hints at some euphoria and clarity of thought. In fact, you get a powerful punch right to the head: everything relaxes - both the body and the mind. Then, of course, there is some feeling of joy but it is more like a state of nirvana, deep meditation. Everything feels different, bright thought forms arise, sounds acquire form and color. Once it lets go, you feel relaxed, calm but somehow a little crumpled or something - you need to cheer yourself up with coffee or an energy drink, have a good snack and go for a walk. 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 is better to smoke alone, because you will not be able to hold a conversation.

The effect is nirvana. Total nirvana. you just lie there and enjoy
I grew both on organic and mineral and there is no difference. They grow well and bloom like crazy. They got like 70-80 cm in 15L pots

Won't recommend to beginners, easily stressed. For an experienced grower it will be a cakewalk. Also wouldn't recommend the buds to beginners - the effect is too much

Just grow it! Cool strong strain, gave me a happy relaxing stone but can also be psychedelic. Despite the fact that 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 from an 80-cm plant to make oil. But the effect from it is great, up to the point of acquiring color and shape by music. That's why I'm growing another plant right now. I hope that this time I will be able to fully appreciate its properties. We are now in the 6th week of flowering and so far everything looks good. There is already a lot of resin and there will be even more. It simply has an abnormal amount of trichomes - they are everywhere. Such a strain would be good for hashish

I recommend everyone to at least try this strain - there is a high chance that lovers of a combined indica-sativa effect and a refreshing spicy-minty taste will highly appreciate the work of Barney's Farm. 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, nerves go away, you relax. You start to look at the world and problems more positively, you see ways to solve them.
But beginners should be careful, since the resin of this hybrid is just a timebomb: it does not 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 is so fresh, spicy, the smoke is soft and does not irritate the throat (maybe that's due to the lengthy curing).
But the yield could be higher. Grew 3 plants in a grow box. 18 weeks in total and only 60grams. I thought there would be more because the plants looked dense, lush and bloomed well. But the buds are still small and there weren't that many. But there is more than enough resin

I grew it twice and will grow it again but I don't think I will 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 generally strange for Kush genetics) or at the very end I noticed small isolated mold spots. It’s good that the plant bloomed and the losses were minimal
But the indoor plant grew and developed without any surprises at all. Well, it was much smaller. All it needs is moderate balanced feeding, lots of water (but I reduced watering during flowering) and lots of bright light
Next time I’ll try SoG. The goal is to get 600 grams per square meter. Already got 400 grams and I feel that this is not the limit. As for the effect, it is powerful and exactly as stated in the characteristics: inspiration and mindfulness with pleasant relaxation. The body becomes lazy but remains completely controlled. You also want to eat. Dry eyes and mouth

This strain was chosen for its medical use. My brother is in a deep depression and taking antidepressants only worsened the situation. I suffer from chronic pain after injuries. Actually, that's why we turned to marijuana - exclusively as a medicinal plant. Recreational properties are secondary for us but they are a nice bonus. Biscotti Mintz fem became a tasty medicine for us which was able to release constant pain and discomfort and pull my brother out of depression and stop him from taking antidepressants. I don't know how it works but it works. The only thing is that the strain is very powerful and relaxing. If you just need to relax a little while remaining active, then this is a problem. Definitely shouldn't be consumed during the day

Trouble-free strain, good for outdoors, but the plants are all different sizes, tho the conditions are more or less the same. I just grew 3 plants in 3 different places not far from each other just in case. One was almost 4 feet, another one just under 4 feet and the third like 3 feet. Yield ranging from 10 to 20 oz. The aroma and taste are the most ordinary hash buds. Long-lasting effect of an antidepressant, muscle relaxant and painkiller.

This stuff's crazy frosty, and the smell's kickass. Barneys nailed it, like always 👍🏻 By the way, snagged a killer pheno with this one. Pumped out some seriously dank white buds, all frosted up. Smell and taste? Absolutely lovely 💚

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

Grew 3 seeds, harvest at the beginning of October. Cannabis blooms in late July-early August
Planted the variety and forgot about it until cutting. I planted seedlings in the ground, the sprouts rooted perfectly. I checked once a week, watered during the drought. The plants grew up to one and a half meters, covered with small but beautiful buds. The smell of flowering from 3 bushes was very recognizable. There were no pests or mold, even when the rain 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 dry ones. Drying took a week at a temperature of 18-20 degrees and humidity of 55%, in the dark of course. After drying I took a sample but was not particularly impressed - a typical indica stone, the smoke is bitter and rough. But after a month of curing - a completely different matter
