Barney's Farm is a seed bank founded in Amsterdam with a presence in the specialized market since the 1990s. Their catalog of feminized seeds includes proprietary varieties developed from genetics originating in North America, Jamaica, Thailand, Nepal, and Afghanistan, among others, with several award-winning references from the High Times Cannabis Cup. At Edabea, you will find more than 20 feminized references from Barney's Farm, including indica-dominant, sativa-dominant, and hybrid varieties, as well as CBD Blue Shark — developed in collaboration with CBD Crew — with a ratio of 6.5% THC / 6.5% CBD. To also see their autoflowering varieties, access the Barney's Farm autoflowering catalog on Edabea. If you're looking for other seed banks, you can return to the feminized seeds category or the general seed category.
Barney's Farm has been developing and stabilizing feminized cannabis varieties from genetics worldwide for decades. The seed bank is part of the Amsterdam ecosystem — a historically significant city in the development of cannabis genetics — and has taken its varieties to international competitions, winning awards at the High Times Cannabis Cup with references like Laughing Buddha (first prize Sativa Cup 2003) and Utopia Haze (first prize Sativa Cup 2008).
The current catalog of Barney's Farm combines established classic varieties with more recent references developed from West Coast genetics — the so-called "Cali Collection" — which includes crosses with Zkittlez, Gorilla Glue, Cookies, and other popular genotypes in the specialized market in recent years.

Feminized seeds are obtained by forcing a genetically stable female plant to produce male pollen, which is used to pollinate other female plants. The result is seeds with exclusively XX chromosomes that produce female plants with over 99% rates. The three most commonly used feminization methods are:
Silver Thiosulfate (STS): a solution of silver nitrate and sodium thiosulfate that, when applied to the female plant during flowering, inhibits ethylene production and induces the appearance of male flowers with XX pollen. It is the most common method in professional seed banks due to its efficacy and reproducibility.
Silver Colloid: a silver nitrate solution applied similarly to STS, with an analogous mechanism. It produces equivalent results but with different application protocols depending on the bank.
Rodelization: a natural technique that consists of prolonging the flowering photoperiod of a female plant beyond its optimal harvest moment, encouraging the spontaneous appearance of male flowers as a survival response. It is the only method without chemical intervention, but it produces seeds with a higher rate of hermaphroditism than chemical methods — the reason professional banks use it less.
The sale of cannabis seeds in collection format is legal in many European countries, although germination and cultivation are subject to the regulations of each jurisdiction. It is the buyer's responsibility to verify the applicable legislation in their place of residence before germinating or cultivating. Seeds are sold exclusively as collectible material.
The main difference is the cultivation behavior and flowering cycle. Indica-dominant varieties — such as Triple Cheese, Kush Mintz, Peyote Cookies, or Pink Kush — have a more compact stature, shorter internodes, and a faster flowering period (usually 8-9 weeks). Sativa-dominant varieties — such as Laughing Buddha, Tangerine Dream, or Moby Dick — grow taller, have longer internodes, and a longer flowering period (10-14 weeks or more). Hybrids combine characteristics of both in different proportions. This information is displayed in the description of each variety and is the most useful criterion for choosing based on available cultivation space.
The "Cali Collection" is the name Barney's Farm uses for its line of varieties developed from genetics from the West Coast of the United States, particularly California. It includes crosses with Zkittlez, Gorilla Glue, Cookies, and other genotypes that have dominated the seed collection market in recent years. In Edabea's catalog, varieties like Watermelon Zkittlez, Gorilla Zkittlez, Dos Si Dos 33, and Kush Mintz are part of this line.
Rodelization takes advantage of a natural survival mechanism of the plant: when an unpollinated female exceeds its optimal harvest time, it can spontaneously develop male flowers for self-pollination before dying. This mechanism means that the tendency for hermaphroditism — the simultaneous appearance of male and female flowers on the same plant — is genetically associated with the seeds produced. Chemical methods (STS, silver colloid) induce male pollen production in genetically stable plants without activating this survival mechanism, thus producing seeds with a lower rate of hermaphroditism.
The CBD Blue Shark is a variety developed in collaboration between Barney's Farm and CBD Crew, a collective specializing in the selection of high-cannabidiol varieties. Unlike the rest of Barney's Farm catalog — focused on THC-dominant genetics — CBD Blue Shark features a balanced ratio of 6.5% THC / 6.5% CBD, resulting from the cross of Blueberry, Shark Shock, and a pure CBD variety. It is the only reference from this bank in the Edabea catalog with this cannabinoid profile.
