I feel like I'd go with the real Great White Shark AKA Shark Shock Mr. Nice or the real White Rhino AKA Medicine Man Mr. Nice more so the Shark though but thats just where I would go with it.

The guy that bred White Rhino and Great White Shark left greenhouse along with his gear to help start Mr Nice. Greenhouse gear is a cheap rip-off of the real deal.

I've asked around about Barney's Critical Kush and it looks like it's pretty reliable.

Along the lines you're looking at, have a look at Reserva Privada's Kosher Kush. Damn fine reefer.

I feel like I am leaning more to Critical because the fact it yields high but doesnt grow so tall which I grow in a tent and cant have high trees. I also am looking for something that plays nice with a SCROG, and I been using BIG BOMB that clones nicely but dont really SCROG all that well compared to my White Widow x Big Bud.

Stay away from barneys and greenhouse is the best advice i could give.
Get a dinafem strain for the same money for better results/genetics.

Barney's Critical Kush extremely easy to grow, potential for high yields, and is dank. GHS GWS grew that before and it was an ok representation of that strain. Others have mentioned Mr. Nice Shark Shock and Medicine Man those are amazing. Might wanna consider DNA Genetics Martian Mean Green or Sharksbreath friggn awesome strains. Massive Yielders and exotic smokes.

Funny.....Dinafem sprang up years ago after Shanti (MNS) gave a lot of free seeds to growers in Spain. Most of their strains are simply their own selections of Shanti's work. You are picking Critical (selections of Critical Mass/Big Bud)crossed with a kush, Great White Shark/Shark Shock, and White Rhino/Medicine Man. All of those are the work of Shanti and Nevil over at Mr. Nice Seeds.....why not buy the real thing?

Having said that, I have tried seeds from GHS, Barneys Farm, and Dinafem before. Dinafem and GHS create okay seeds....they seem to germinate well and look similar to what they should, but you don't seem to get the pheno variation that you would with MNS....you also won't find the beautiful colors, stronger smells, or the resin production I have seen in MNS gear. So they are good mids, but nothing really special. Everything I have grown from Barneys Farm was complete shit.....nothing has been found that was worthy of keeping.

Out of the gear that I have tried, I have been much happier in the long run with gear from Bodhi, Paradise Seedbank, Mr. Nice Seedbank, and TGA. Granted 3 out of 4 of my choices sell regular seeds, but the extra work is well worth it. Just my two cents...hope that helps.

I have heard so much about mean green but compare Critical Kush to Mean Green, Critical I have heard time and time again with how easy it is.

What can you suggest from Mr Nice then? Everything I see Mr Nice put out, the height says tall....I also only use fem seeds too....

Guess you can say I am being hard headed but, for the price of Critical by Barnys, you cant say its not a great deal.....The simply fact that it offers everything I am looking for, I feel its a great buy. But really am looking at the Green.

Its so funny how everyone bashes on the Greenhouse. Arjan's a dick. So what? They have some solid shit. I have a freebie White Rhino up right now going into flower in a few days. She is a monster of health. Biggest damn leaves I have ever seen. I named her Tatanka. I will post up some pictures as soon as I have time. I am running my ass off with the transition that is coming. Take care.

BTW....I am a huge fan of Shanti's gear. I have it all and I love him. I have run GWS in the past and I was the problem, not the genetics. Honestly.

Mr Nice G-13 x Skunk#1. I hope my seeds get here soon! I've heard it's completely dank, and have also seen grows and read tons of smoke reports. Gage Green use it crossed with Cindy99, and also on a chem strain and another, Cindy Le Pew, Pepe Le Dank, and another. Total Fire! Peace out.

Dude, seriously, then try the original first: Mr Nice, Critical Mass. I have never, ever, ever seen colas that big. Seriously, outdoor plants can make buds as thick as my leg, and SOG, it's a real dream. A mate of mine had some outside last summer, it was UNREAL.

All the seeds gave very similar plants, each one a winner with a DANK oldschool flavour.

I'm also very interested in the Critical Kush from Barneys, by the sounds of things if you get a winning mom it's critical mass yields plus kush flavour. NICE.

Hope I didn't come across as knocking Greenhouse :/ I try not to do that too much, except CC but I guess we all have our grudges. Was just pointing out that if you want it to be 'as advertised' best to support the guy who's intellectual property it is.

Not disputing Greenhouse has some dank gear at all.

.
the haze's will get tall but Critical Mass, Shit, Shark Shock, Ortega, etc. won't get too tall unless you let them I don't know where the hell your getting "the height says tall" I just checked out one description of cm and there was no mention of height.

But you only use fem seed so whats it matter? I only use regular seed all the best breeders sell them Mr. Nice, Chimera, DJ Short, Serious Seeds, Sensi Seeds,Tom Hill etc. etc.

I don't really look at the "tall/short" before buying seeds. If it says that it creates a tall plant, I tend to veg for less time and top more often. If you are insistant on fem seeds, you are very limited in your choices from MNS. From what I hear, Z7 is a great one that is sold feminized. If you will go with reg seeds. I think you would like critical mass, shark shock, Medicine Man and many many others. Paradise seedbank sells almost everything they make in feminized seeds. I have ran Delahaze four times now - she is wonderful.....but I hear very little on the forums about this company. I am shocked at this though, because everything I have heard was really good. Their prices aren't bad either.

Ultimately, the choice is yours. I don't like Arjan....and won't buy his gear. If the gear was "the best," like he thinks it is, I would probably be willing to put up with "the king of cannabis/Inventor of colored cannabis seeds/Creator of the first DNA profiles on commercial seeds/Creator of the first terpenes profiles" bullshit....it's not. The seeds are viable and just fine, but I want better than fine and I have no problem looking for that special pheno. Personal choice. Barney, on the other hand, I have gotten a lot of crap seeds from and I can not recommend in any way and from what I see, the Barney's Farm prices aren't any better than most of what I gave as other options.
