Strain Review: Blue Cheese – Barney’s Farm
Strain Review January 16th, 2010
‘Strain Review‘ segment on the JDR Show sponsored by InHarmony Wellness in Windsor, CO and this week we review Blue Cheese from Barney’s Farm. An extremely special and increasingly rare strain because of the proliferation and flood the market is seeing right now of all other new strains. UK Cheese is very popular but the Barney’s Farm original is no longer available for sale in most seed shops or sites available to the United States and North America. Most seed companies ran out of stock long, long ago and for some reason have not re-upped with Barney’s Farm. Barney’s Farm lists the strain as still being available throughout Europe in seed shops, but as I mentioned, Blue Cheese original is not available based on what others have told me and one seedshop online after another that list it as ‘Out of Stock’. Something must be up with the supply. I am fortunate enough to have traded our local Rocky Mountain Tangerine for it. The Blue Cheese grows very bushy. It likes to shoot up and form a nice long and thick “trunk” that comes in handy by the late stages of flower as this strain is a heavy yielder. The strain grows and has a bushy ‘tree’ like look to it that is easily trained. It flowers and finishes at about 9-10 weeks for the high I like to get from it. I actually flowered out one plant of the Blue Cheese for 11/12 weeks and it turned out fantastic. A very deep and lifting high that lasts for a very long time. Although the come down is a bit of a knock out. The taste has hints of Blue Cheese with Sour Cream. This may seem a little strange, but it works well for a full rich and smooth flavor. A one of a kind taste unlike most others I’ve toked. The Barney’s Farm Blue Cheese is a Blue Ribbon strain and one that should never be passed up when grown well.
Beware of imitations, and please fight the renaming of strains. Would you drink a Starbucks coffee and say you roasted the beans and created the flavor and all, or take a top shelf liquor and name it your own? Lets not keep doing this with Marijuana strains either! Good times and good tokes!
Blue Cheese
