Shiskaberry by Barney's Farm

Shiskaberry is a pure indica from Barney’s Farm, built by crossing DJ Short’s Blueberry with a classic Afghan. The breeder spent years bringing it to a finished seed line, and the result is a 100% Indica with 28% THC, a berry-soaked nose and an earthy, spicy finish.

It is fast for a plant this productive. Indoor flowering takes just 50–55 days, and plants stay at a manageable 80–110 cm (31–43 in), which suits small tents and grow cabinets.

Indoors, Shiskaberry yields 600–700 g/m² (1.97–2.29 oz/ft²). Outdoors, where a stretch during pre-flowering pushes plants to 120–180 cm (47–71 in), each one can produce 1,500–2,000 g (52.9–70.5 oz), with harvest in the second or third week of September.

As feminized photoperiod seeds, every plant is expected to flower female, and a dry climate outdoors brings out its full potential.

Shiskaberry Lineage and Genetics

Blueberry is one of the most famous fruit-flavored lines in cannabis, known for its sweet berry aroma and colorful flowers. Afghan is the hash-plant backbone of countless indica hybrids, prized for its short stature, broad leaves and heavy resin. Pairing them gave Barney’s Farm an indica that keeps the berry perfume and gains the Afghan’s density and speed.

The plant grows short and stocky with broad, dark leaves, tight internodes and a dominant central cola surrounded by strong side branches. The Afghan influence shows in how quickly the buds fill out once flowering begins.

Shiskaberry Aroma, Flavor and Effect

The aroma is pungent, with ripe berry sitting on top of an earthy base. As the buds cure, the berry note deepens and the earthy side becomes richer and more hash-like.

The flavor leans earthy and spicy, with berry rising through the middle of the draw and a long, memorable aftertaste. It feels like wild berries crushed on warm, peppery soil, sweet but grounded.

Effects come in a clear order. Shiskaberry first loosens the tongue and makes conversation easy, then a happy, creative mood takes over. Finally, a full-body relaxation settles in, the kind of heavy indica calm that makes it an evening strain.

With 28% THC and pure indica genetics, the body effect is strong. Plan your session for a night when you have nowhere to be.

Growing Shiskaberry Indoors and Outdoors

Indoors, Shiskaberry finishes in 50–55 days on 12/12 and stays at 80–110 cm (31–43 in). Its compact frame suits sea of green with many plants per square meter, or topping and LST to build several even colas from fewer plants.

Keep humidity on the lower side through mid and late flower. Dense indica buds can hold moisture, and a dry, well-ventilated room helps the berry terpenes develop fully.

Outdoors, the plant stretches during pre-flowering and reaches 120–180 cm (47–71 in). In a dry climate with plenty of sun it can produce 1,500–2,000 g (52.9–70.5 oz) per plant. Harvest falls in the second or third week of September in the Northern Hemisphere.

Indoor yields of 600–700 g/m² (1.97–2.29 oz/ft²) in under eight weeks of bloom make Shiskaberry one of the more efficient indicas in the Barney’s Farm lineup.
