Barnsley Jack & Friends

Hi guys been a while but yeah 20 years growing this year 😅

I grew a lot of 0t1s stuff back in the day as well as all sorts of other things ugorg and then a lot of heath robinsons stuff.
And I have tried pretty much all styles of growing along the way, from organic soil to d.i.y rdwc heath Robinson style, vertical bare bulb,my to l.e.d

I have also bread a couple of different strain , black ‘n’ blues , uk tropical and uk47.
I don’t have any seeds as I lost my collection during a house move , absolutely gutted but that’s just the way it is lol .

Anyway I’m here to document my grow and share the knowledge I have learnt over the past 20 years.

Recent years iv been growing a lot of the new American genetics like in house genetics seeds n then these so called elite clones and a lot of perfect tree seeds stuff.

But my overall opinion on these genetics is most of them carnt for me. The gene pool is very muddeled at the moment and just doesn’t do it for me like the old uk skunks did , livers, barnsley jack, ssh, cheese are the sorts that really stick with you for a life time.

I am currently in the middle of giving my grow room a full revamp so for now there in a temporary home.

Temporary veg space:-
Secret jarden preparation tent
4" rvk outtake with fan speed controller
Oil rad plugged into thermostat

temperature 25-28c humidity 60%

Hand fed (for now)
2L & 7.5L pots
canna coco
Growers arc coco a&b and root tonic
E.C 1.0 P.H 6.0

Strains

Yeah I found the same. Little to no adjustment necessary. Produced my best plants by far. Been trying all sorts just to save a couple of quid. Proper false economy. Not only that, when I’ve contacted GA they’ve been great help. I should have never messed about. Anyroad, good luck with the grow, I’ll keep popping in :+1:

Barnsley Jack is the sister plant to the legendary Livers aka blues/Sheffield blues. They are thought to be skunk #1 , there is a story about it being a sk#1 x NL or b52 x Shiva skunk , but who knows . What I do no is, 2 guys that owned a grow shop in sheffield went to meet mr livers to obtain the plants. When the guys went to the meet, 1 guy went in and came out with 2 mother plants that are in my opinion , 2 separate phenos ,they are very similar but so different as well smell, flowering time the lot …anyway . With instructions from mr livers , not to call the plants livers as it was giving him a bad name and getting him ontop. Not long after this the 2 growshop partners went separate ways. 1 stayed in the sheffield and 1 opened a hydro shop in Barnsley. The sheffield guy kept 1 mother and passed the cuttings out as livers.The barnsley guy passed cuttings of the other mother out as Jack, the only reason it was call Jack is because Jackherrer had just won the cannabis cup, it is not related to jackherrer!

This information is what I believe to be true and I have put it together from info posted online posted on various forums and talking to a guy from the local area but mainly posts by goldensyrup !

@Tempa tbh buddy the only person I’ve ever heard talk about a ‘barnsley jack’ in the last 10 years is the guy you mentioned and now yourself. I would take anything and everything he says with a massive pinch of salt. Not just because he’s an absolute fantasist but this particular story he’s telling, is older than he is. Good luck with it buddy, if you say she’s a winner then I have no doubt that she is :sunglasses:

We will soon see mate but i have no reason to not believe him. I had heard in the local area as im a local lad there was some jack about again and went looking for the cut mate, asked about n looked online … not goin to lie iv looked for it over 10 year thought it was gone .
Ill definitely know if it is jack thats is a fact.

N the reason i think that story makes most sense is , i used to buy the jack from a guy that worked in the shop, n in sheff the had whats they called the kriss cross cut and then i met a asain guy who would only buy livers and he used to get us the livers cuts to make sure it was the one. This was 2004-2010ish id say.
So i know a few people that where involved in the game back then not just gsyp
