I’ve noticed a change in quality with Barney’s in the last few years.
I stopped giving my money to barney's when they took over the jack herer genetics from the Herer family on the conditions they would keep it pure in addition to breeding with it.
So naturally within 2 years of taking over the DNA there was no more pure jack herer anywhere in the market anymore.
You can buy seeds labeled "jack" this and that from them, and even "True jack herer" from them. Only for whatever reason absolutely NONE of it is actually anything like the original jack, not even close.
personally i think barneys bough tthe lineage to kill it, and thats exactly what they did to it. And they slap the jack names on any seeds theyre having trouble getting rid of.
They were also the SINGLE BIGGEST seedbank offender in the early and mid 2000s of selling Americans known genetic hermie seed, then blaming growers themselves for their shoddy and inconsistent products.
Youd pop a barney jack, and literally half the flower cluster volume will be fully formed male flowers, and when you email them, TO THIS DAY, with this problem, they will blame you, say light leaks did it, then refuse replacements or refunds.
They only sent these kinds of seeds to Americans and third-world countries too, no one else, and ONLY americans in known black market states that had zero ability to actually do anything about getting ripped off. You couldnt even go to forums and mention this because barneys SPONSORED ALL THE FORUMS TO PREVENT NEGATIVE REVIEWS. Those on the west coast and other medical and recreational states did not get the same treatment from barneys farm and became the gate keepers that went out of their way to ruin the reputations of those already getting ripped off by the seedbanks..... Barney's farm has been a shady group of money-grubbing conmen and charlatans since they started, especially if you were anywhere besides med/rec USA states or Europe... Period.
I spit on the ground when the words "barneys farm" come out of my mouth. Mponey grubbing scumbags and charlatans straight up. Greenhouse was going that way too, but wised up as the laws began to rapidly change in the USA. They stopped sending genetic herms and stopped blaming the growers for them real fast after that.
