Biscotti Mintz Seeds (Barney's Farm)

An excellent variety, 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 variety, without a doubt.

This strain is pure bliss, a direct extract of nirvana with a minty freshness. I'm truly blown away. Will I grow it again? Absolutely. And more than once. I bought 3 seeds, grew 2, I still have 1 left, and I'll be ordering more. Biscotti Mintz is the best that Kush genetics have to offer, a true gem. Both plants were identical, no difference in phenotype, grew to 90 cm, and I harvested 100 grams from each. The buds are small but dense and very beautiful, with an incredible amount of resin. As for training, I used ScrOG – it responded wonderfully. The light was a 300w HPS plus a small additional CFL. I fed complex mineral water at 2/3 of the recommended dose, and not once did the plants show any signs of nutrient deficiency or excess. The vegetative stage lasted 7 weeks, followed by 9 weeks of flowering. Ten days before harvest, I flushed the plant, and consequently, the finished product after curing has no bitter taste. The smoke is smooth, creamy, even oily, and refreshing like mint ice cream. A creamy mint dessert with spices—that's how I would describe it. The aftertaste is diesel-like, but mild. The effect is gradual, taking about 10 minutes, so don't overdo it, or you'll be stuck in a daze for hours. But if you're not greedy and know when to stop, then the body relaxes, the mind clears, and consciousness is filled with inspiration. This strain is excellent for relieving pain and any kind of overwork.

I germinated three seeds; all sprouted 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 they needed different amounts of nutrients and water, like children. I even named them for fun. There were flowering issues—they didn't all flower at the same time, and because of this, the harvest was spread over two weeks. Only one plant turned purple with orange stigmas (the one that grew to 80 cm). The other two were a plain dark green. The tallest had a predominantly Kush aroma, a bitter, earthy taste, and the effect was more of a sativa high, with negligible relaxation. The others, however, had more of a stoned effect, but they also relieved pain better, although they did induce visions. The yield isn't too high, but it's not low either. I think I'll grow it at least one more time to form a definitive opinion.

The taste is original, invigorating, and refreshing, while the journey itself is the opposite. The effect is nirvana. Total nirvana. Sometimes with thought-provoking images, auditory hallucinations, but it doesn't send you on a quest; you simply lie there and enjoy the journey through the nooks and crannies of your own mind. I've grown both on organic and mineral soils. There's no difference. They grow well. They flower like crazy. They bloom in 9 to 10 weeks. The plants reached 70 to 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 breeze. I also wouldn't recommend the buds to beginners—the effect is too strong.
