Barney’s Farm
Morning Glory is an active and cheerful variety with an
interesting range in its flavors and excellent yields. It has been
popular among Barney’s Farm selections since its Cannabis
Cup win in 2002. Morning Glory combines the exotic island
flavors of a Hawaiian sativa mother with the durable quality of
the Skunk in the paternal line.
Skunk varieties are known as versatile plants that contribute
many desirable and durable qualities to more delicate and
challenging strains. Sativas are generally known to be lankier
and more finicky in the garden, and this can often be a greater
concern with varieties adapted to specific locales. Hawaiian
varieties, like other island-acclimated strains, may lose their
special Polynesian flavors and vibe when moved to more
temperate locations. In Morning Glory, the Hawaiian mother
has been infused with skunk genetics, adding a hardy efficiency
to its growth. Yet the surprisingly subtle earthy floral flavors of
the Skunk also allow the island qualities to drive the flavors
and effects.
Morning Glory plants are somewhat branchy, working best
when branches are retained rather than pruned to a singlestem plant. This plant’s growing structure is truly hybrid, with medium leaves and a medium growing height and structure.
Barney’s Farm recommends growing Morning Glory in soil with
organics. Plants finish in early October outdoors, or in 8–10
weeks of flowering indoors, with average yields of 450 grams
per square meter.
In their natural state, Morning Glory buds have a distinctly
strong, citrus aroma, but the smoke is mild and just a bit earthy
and spicy, with subtle hints of almonds and white pepper. The
high is soaring yet simultaneously relaxing. It can enhance
energetic or social activities, making it a true “morning glory,”
yet it serves equally well when more sedentary or passive
activities are planned, whether laying on the beach or simply
watching a summer movie.
